yeah, i own a raptor right now, and i found that to make it the ultumite all around machine, just widen it a few inches and it does just fine for me duning, trail riding, and the mx track which i just began clearing the 50ft double on today[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] yaay!...the elkas hold up great and my friends stock does as well, as for the yfz's i love my dads in every way and the suspension on it is much better stock as far as turning goes(havent taken it anywhere but around the driveway and such) and it seems to be a good width for trail riding. my moms banshee sucks at trail riding, mx track, and duning as well compared to our 4 strokes and the banshee even has a roll design front end and elkas in the back along with many engine mods. my uncles v is very torquey, but is restrained by its large mass and the auto takes all the fun out of riding. i have ridden the 400s and would put them along the lines of the rappy and maybe even the yfz with some minor mods

Just a couple of things...I 'think' I can ride, although it has been 10 yrs or so(I am 35 now) and really fear buying an underpowed quad more than I do buying an overpowered one and pushing to hard.
i see what you mean,,,,,and where you are coming from!

I say if your riding the trails and playing, the Z400 or the raptor would be the best bet, I love my Z for the trails, plenty of power, and the suspension and seat are plush. I wanted a sport quad I could ride all day without feeling I needed a spinal cord replacement when I was through, (I'm 39). The Z fit the bill, I'm sure the raptor does too.

The guys that are saying to get a yfz for trails have obviously not ridden one on trails very much if at all. The suspension and seat are waayyyy to hard, it has very little bottom end, and has a powerband like a 2-stroke, so you will be on the clutch alot. It also does not have reverse. I am not dissing the yfz, its a kick@$$ mx quad, but just not at home on the trails. The raptor or z and clones are definetely the best trail machines, they both have gobs of torque on bottom end, plush suspension, have reverse and are comfortable to ride. If you want a more stable ride, go with a z. If you want a little more top end and dont mind having a less stable ride, go with the raptor. just my .02
