wow! 45hrspwr. Did they say if that was at the rear wheels, or crank? Did they drag it against anything else? You should scan some of those pages so that we can check it out, for those of us that don't subscribe and get it a month early. -I know I am really interested on what they have to say, I ordered one, and hardly know a thing about it, except for the stuff that is on the yamaha cite

I now have a 03 raptor, and a 04 yfz450, can't wait to see which one I should keep. Course, I kind a need for my yfz to come in! Anybody else heard when their dealer was getting their shipment in?

I like that, "it will smoke the raptor, oh yeah, except for at the top". So what will happen is the YFZ will blow the raptor off the line and then there will be that wonderfull feeling of watching a bike come from behind and catch you, then pull right past you. The local dealer (Layton Cycle) gets some in two weeks. He said a lot of guys are claiming they want one, but no one has put down the $100 deposit it takes to save one.

i live in haiti, we rarely have cross, and all my friends have raptors. I can't decide on the raptor or the yfz. There are way too much raptors down here man. If im doing a trail, like a 2 mile trail, which atv will win, the raptor or the yfz 450, both stock?

Yeah i heard it has tons of power and the great shocks but i also heard it's really light.....so it must be really good for MX racing....doesn't it have the YZ 450 motor in it if so it should have toons of power cause those bikes fly.
