if you want to find out which bike is really the most powerful, find its power to weight ratio. a bike might have more power but if it has more weight to push around and therefore a lower power to weight ratio then its going to be slower. the rappys power to weight is about 10.2:1, which means every hp has to push 10.2 pounds (not including rider). the yfz's is more like 9.5:1, so even though it puts out less hp, it uses the power that it does have better. the ds' is about 11.5:1. this is all stock though, so if you want to modify a bike then just go with the one that is the most moddable, because if you can get 68 hp out of a rappy and only 53 out of a yfz, the rappy is gonna have a better power to weight ratio. (i made up the 68 and 53).

LIGHTEST??

I'd say out of all of those, the yfz is the lightest. (350 dry)

the rappy's engine alone is like 75lbs heavier...

75 pounds is least he would be worrying about when he is getting almost 120 ccs extra

you mean 220ccs extra dumbo and it is not 75 pounds its more around the 50 area
its actually 210.......(dumbo????,,,,) but the 450 is nice
