well i would say yfz but with those mods that would be one wide @$$ raptor, well ull need mods to keep up with yfzs in the dunes a stock will go through almost anything you throw at it but im not much into dunes....actually go with the yfz, your only 12 and i dont think ud be able to handle either of these quads but the yfz is easier to throw around

think the raptor would be harder to control, and will cost more money to mod....have fun with your new purchase

For your size, I would think the ergos on the YFZ would fit you better than the raptor and its quite a bit lighter to throw around. JMO

have you thought about a 450r? They are pretty comfortable for the trails and not as big as the raptor.
