......Speed....

 

This is kind of a dumb post. What kind of information are you looking for. If you have a Raptor and you're looking for someone to tell you the Raptor is faster than the YFZ, it aint going to happen. There's too many variables.
It looks like you have just joined the forums, so welcome, but when you ask questions be specific as to what you want to know. Them others will take your questions seriously.

hoo wood bye a yamha, get a hunda if yew waunt spede

 

I jumped on a 03 or 04 raptor this weekend, and i can tell you, my yfz is much faster on the low-end and midrange. (granted i took the airbox off and have an exhaust kit on it.) The throttle seems spongier on the raptor. Same with the Z400. I don't like the feeling of the either of those two as well. They sit too high off the ground, and don't feel as stable when making turns. (yfz has a lower center of gravity.)

it's a lot easier to hold wheelies on the latter 2 however....

 

I wouldent trade my raqptor in for a YFZ but would get a YFZ no problem,besides the raptor it's the best bike out there for me, im looking for one real soon cuz the raptor is drag only,that's the only excuse i could come up with to get a new bike..lol the YFZ is my style of riding anyways>>AGGREsSIVE..I love the feeling of it and it would take me a day to get used to it jumping then i can hit 70 to 80 foot dune jumps for sure,if i dident get the raptor again it would be a YFZ,they are 2 totally diffrent bikes and the raptor will spank the YFZ when they are modded up,you have to drop alot on the raptor to outperform the YFZ and only spend a little to be at 50HP mark on the YFZ.. JMO

 

i don't like the rappy's suspension at highspeed over small bumps.... whereas the the yfz absorbs them more.... I also like taking the flat jumps more with the yfz.

the rappy can/is a fast bike... but it's not my kind of bike..

 

i have seen many videos where the YFZ has taken raptors and some other fast quads stock for stock.
