Ummm..its pred over Raptor..not raptor over pred.

They gave the overall win to the Yami..seems like a great quad..although there are a couple people talking about weak subframes. And before everyone jumps on me "quit bashing" im not..im just saying what the people racing them are saying..gusset kits are in the works i hear. Just seems taht they bend a little easy..but still..a lighting quick quad! Nice product yami..

''predator vs raptor=raptor
yfz vs raptor=yfz
predator vs yfz=predator?


that doesnt sound right. if the yfz beat the raptor, then how did it lose to the pred after the raptor beat the pred?''

Accroding to what ive read on this forum this is how it is, then i read atv action and said the yfz was faster and i was like wha?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]. I dont know i just though i would ask cause i too only believe things seen first hand

I Raced a predator on my yfz and it was a verry good race. i took the holeshot and just held it to top gear. I won by only 2 lengths.
I think if my yfz was stock i would have lost, it was that close. The predator was stock.

Did you see the dyno in the same article? On a CT racing dyno, the Pred had about 8 more HP than the YFZ.....they (the mag) said it was a weight issue; that the Predator has a much stronger engine.

I agree..you cant beleive anything in the mags..look at dirtwheels how bad they had the pred loosing to the Z440 & YFZ450.

now the two people i ride the most with, one has a raptor, the other a shee, and stock for stock, i can take em both..usually comes down to who gets the holeshot, but even if i loose that..in the long run i catch and pass if im behind.

But again..you cant beat the yami for quickness..it revs so quick..nice quad..

I think the YFZ have the weight in thier corner. I rode one and it feels like it accelerates rather quickly, however it doesn't have a whole lot of torque say a 400 EX, DS, or Raptor. It almost has a 2 stroke feel. What do they rev out to? Predators are quicker than most give credit for. For it's displacement if it weighed in a little less it would be a monster.

Agreed..if the pred was down around 375 or so..man oh man..that thing would be a rocket!

The YFZ revs to about 10,750 I think..thats pretty damn high! Its such a quick rever too...much quicker then the pred..which i fell revs soo fast! LOL..
