TRX or YFZ?
well, i watched one of my friends take a brand new YFZ 450 straight from the dealership and drag race a 3 week old 450r, and the 450 blew him out over about a mile stretch. then he gave the 450r a head start and passed him and beat him. they switched bikes and it was a little closer but the YFZ 450 still won. they are pretty even if you race a HRC kit w/ no exhaust 450r vs. a YFZ 450

look on the issue my dad and brother are riding 14 year old machines and still starts on the first kicks and have had nothing done to them unlike my yamaha that has required work ever since i have had it. I am a honda man now that i have seen a yamaha relaibilty in person. I mean its funny how people are still racing the crap outta 250 r's and raced 400 ex'x that were old while racing against new yamaha'sand have been happy with out complaining. I mean i can get off and pick up my quad and move it faster than i can use its reverse. Its not that easy to use and wish I had bought a 400ex in the first place. Enough with the flaming wars over which is better I am tired of both. I mean both are good quads my personal experience is 10 times better with honda name they have never built any crap I have ridden and i have ridden alot of quads or dirt bikes. I mean look at the sprot bikes 600rr took the field. hands down in handling ytf might make the most hp but that gets you know where torque gets you off the line ask any drag racer you know and then the handling gets you threw the corners personaly I would ride something with more useable power that i dont have to work as hard for. Just my thoughts but I know nothing and witll prob start a flame war.

ok......i had a honda for a few months its sucked it is slow. Hondas file plugs and are just not reliable a raptor can beat that p o s trx.. and that kick starts that is very stupid they add an extra 5 pounds and after a while u have to kick them alot to get them started....If i was you i would get the raptor and get a fat boy 4 pipe that would be perfect for the trails and the track...=)
