Default Raptor, z400, or yfz 450 which is best for me?

i am 15 and weigh around 130 lbs and have rode atv's since I could walk, I am looking to purchase one of these 3 atv's. I will be doing mostly trail riding but i might ride some track and will be doing alot of dragging, which will be the best for me?

I dont think the z400 would be good for dragging. Either the yfz or raptor.

I would'nt be to quick to say that the Z 400 is no good at draging, I think it's probally the best all around bike of the three. I went to Glamis yesterday and I found one that was beating DS's and Raptors all over the place. I raced him and he was just about neck and neck with me the whole way.

Well the Z would be cheaper and be just fine against the quads you ride with.. And if your a good rider you will have no problem keeping up with any of those...
