Try the 05 Troy Lee PREDATOR...
No kidding. That has got to be the best trail quad made.

id go wit the raptor, the yfz has too muchlow end power. Thats why its the ultimate racing machine. It doesnt op out too high, but it gets to its toppeed in a snap of the finger. Plus if you are a lzy bast@rd, reverse

I got a question. I hear people complaining about the yfz shocks for trails compared to the Raptor. Then why in the he!! do the Raptor buy yfz shocks off ebay and put on their Raptor?

IMO the Raptor is a better trail quad than the yfz. So is the z 400. Ride a Rappy and z and decide from there.
The Raptor weighs a little more so the harshness of the YFZ shocks won't be nearly as noticeable on the Rappy as on the YFZ. The Raptor gets the added benefit of more adjustability from the YFZ shocks also.

I just bought a yfz 450. I've been riding an 03 warrior on the trails for over a year now. I think I will continue to use my warrior on the trails. It has reverse and the suspension is made for trails. The 450 is the best bike I've ever ridden and will use it all over the dunes and some trails but for serious trails you need a raptor of a z400. The suspension on the yfz is made to go fast and absorb the bumps at high speeds that is when it shows off. Just cruising over trail bumps can give you a bumpy ride.
My friend just bought a z400. I can't believe I'm saying this about any bike but a yamaha but that is a great all around bike. The 05 model has new shocks with resivors added to an already awesome suspension package and it has reverse. It is one of the best bangs for the buck around. And this years model comes in blue.
Anyway my point is the yfz 450 is not a trail bike. You can do it but I would go with the raptor or z400.
