Wow prices sure are different there, the yfz is 6799 and rappy is like 6399 if you were speaking american money here

 

the raptor rides smoother i think and i also like the raptors power more with longer gears and also the yfz sounds very weak although i have never been to the dunes and i would probably rather have a yfz if i did go often but heck a yfz will never beat a raptor in reverse

 

lol.. i have a rappy and if i had a choice between the two as of now id pick the yfz.. because i rarley use my reverse unless im in the garage pulling it in backwards or somthing.. the yfz is so light and this is good for 2 reasons 1. you can push it instead of reverse. 2. its a beast off of jumps i feel like you can fly so far.. the only set back in the yfz between the two are that the rappy has a real real soft and smooth riding surface and the yfz is like spending a night in jail with big bubba.. lol.. out of the two i pick yfz 450

carmelo, i disagree with you about ur statement of how the raptor doesnt respond that well to mods. teh raptor is so restricted from the factory, u need to put some money into it to unleash its true potential. the yfz is pretty much all out when u buy it, i know a pipe for a yfz gives it a lot, but everything else is already basically topped out. the raptor is all hidden powe, everything u do to it, u feel. pipe adds huge gains, take off lid its been proven when jetted correctly adds 3hp. so i feel the raptor repsonds much better to most mods than the yfz ever will. because its a 660-comapred to a 450

 

Rider1169- everything you just said is absolutley true.. if you want the quad stock and dont have enough money to add mods then get the yfz but if you think you are going to have 500 bucks to pipe it jet it etc.. you can be really flying with the raptor. there are soo many more mods for the raptor then a yfz.

...even though a lot of people like aftermarket "bling bling" mods (like me) you can really get a lot of power out of the raptor. I do jumps and whoops and trails... so i dont really race that much but if i was racing id get a raptor. for fooling around with friends and power doesn't really matter that much go get a yfz!!!!!!!!!!

 

Go with a suzuki z400. but if your into yamaha go rapter for sand and 450 for speed and trails!! Me in your situation i would choose a z you can upgrade for same amount of money for a rapter but have a quad that is great at speed and handels great on tight trails i know i have a friend with a hooooooked up suzuki z 400 nicer than rapter. Just go get a z man you wont be disapointed

 

hey suzukiltz compare them stock!!!!!!!

 

Yep I was talking american money. Actually I'm going with a buddy to get a LE YFZ...$7200otd. The LE Raptor next to it on the showroom floor is $6000 otd.

 

The raptor lost a lot of buyers in my area!! they used to be 7200 for the le rappy now there 5900 for the le

 

Please do not take any offense to my response.

Get on Akins for about 4 months give or take. When you are down to 220lbs, go and get a YFZ450. You will not be disappointed. I have had mine for a week and love it. Oh and by the way I lost 30 lbs on the South Beach diet and started it before it was mainstream.
