Default raptor vs yzf450

Guys I need your help i went to my local yamaha dealership to see the yzf and the rap. I sat on both and the first thing that i notice was the yfz seat suck then i sat on the rap "BIG DIFFERENCE"
I want some input from you guys. I mostly ride trail and race my buddies.

The YZF is a pure MX quad.

The Raptor is one of the best trail machines out there with it's torque reverse and the seat is much more plush.

The YZF is awesome if you're looking for big air hard core riding where you're standing up most of the time.

Both are great machines in there own way.

But if your running trails mostly the Raptor is the way to go I think.

well. yfz is aggressive seating for track. i personnally hate them on trails. raptor, with a little work is just as good on track. the rap also respnds a lot better to mods. plus revers. raptor anyday is my choice. yfz is strickly race. IMO

Raptor is more for trail riding, yfz for mx and racing. Both are great machines, yfz is quicker.

Do a search and you will find enough pages on this topic to keep you busy for days.

ppl always say that the rap is tippy, they are liers. for the most part anyway. the yfz is just aggressice racing all the tiem seating position. raptor is both. raptor is a much better bike for all around riding. a few frame mods and its just as good as the yfz on track.
