Ok, so i sold the rappy in order to purchase a new quad. For tight trails, no dunes, and a little drag racing , is the yfz450 the right quad for me? What is gonna be different from the rappy as far as handling and power? Im mostly gonna ride in traiils, and logging roads, up and down mountains.
Any input would be greatly apreciated.

 

ok.. we all know how the yfz goes.. its fast on take off has good power through out the gears but is still slower on top end that a raptor..
you already had a good quad for what you mentioned... why did you bother sellin?

 

From what I am seeing in the Posts; you are a part of a growing trend of people that are dumping there Rappy's. Did you sell yours because you had problymns with it or to just to get a newer bike? I am asking because I would like to pick up a used one this summer, but if there junk I will avoid!

 

thats quite the name there son...
and no.. raptors arent junk... just people think its worth gettin screwed on a sale or trade in for the new 450.. because we all know it goes 137 mph stock and gets there in less than 4 seconds.

 

maybe a z400. it sounds like the raptor was the quad for you. but the yfz would be better but if you ride tight trails you might want reverse. if you don't care about reverse geta yfz.

 

All the good names were taken! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] .......Good Maybe all those people trying to have the "latest , greatest" will give me a good deal on a rappy..[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

the z is a very comfortable trail machine.. i like the seat... the yfz seat is like sitting on a rock.

 

As good as all that own a Rappy say it is, the truth is there is new competion creeping up all around the Rappy

 

ya i know.. but its still a nice quad.. and probably the most comfortable and powerful trail quad out there.. and i dont include the 450's or the pred because of lack of reverse.

 

I don't understand? What was the prob with the Rappy? IMHO it is one of the best trail machines out there! Especially in stock form!!!

The YFZ has no reverse so that is a big draw back for trail riding once again IMO.

Maybe the Rappy was just a little much for you on the trails?? Just guessing... check out a Z they are reallly nice trail machines and from what I've heard the new 700 is also a good trail machine!

Still kinda curious what the problem was with the Rappy?
