It really depends on the kind of riding you plan on doing. If you are going to be riding very technical trails or mx tracks then you should go with the yfz. The raptor is larger, and therefore much more comfortable to me. I felt cramped on the yfz, and I certainly wouldnt want to ride all day if I wasnt comfortable. If you are comfortable on the yfz, and dont think you will need reverse, I would go with the yfz.
true that. big diff in seat height

It usually stays pretty nice during july for us, August is the hot and humid month. Probably I would guess around 85 tops, usually 75.

It's usually a little cooler on the dunes themselves because you have air blowing in from over Lake Michigan. The dunes are right on the water.

Triple rate zps shocks, 600
+2+1 A arms, 500
+4/5 rear axle, 400

Stock swing arm is fine for mx as far as length goes. If you were going to compete professionally I would get an aftermarket one for the raptor or the yfz.
