talk all you want about how great that 450 is, but it is way too uncomfortable for my 6'3" azz....my knees stick above the tank by about 4 inches when I am sitting on it and the seat is like a board....faster or not...I will stick with a raptor all day long cause it fits me better and still will go over 75mph...which is fast enuf for me.

plus the power the raptor has in bottom three gears is just sweet if I miss a shift...I can still recover very easily

and last but not least....on the trails my reverse comes in handy [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

The yfz must not have an experienced rider. Not saying that the 450r wouldnt win it just wouldn't "smoke" it.
