I was thinking about getting an 05 yfz450 or a 05 660 raptor. i go on fast and slow trails preety much dirt roads fields and wooded trails but i would like the option of going to the track and race every once and a while? i'm not asking which one to get but which one would be suited to my riding style. i also like to ride hard through rough trails?

 

We have both, and I'd say a Raptor would suit your riding style just perfect.....you can still take it on the tracks if you want, and it's a great trail bike. You won't want to be sitting on the YFZ seat for very long - it's hard as a rock! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] But it's great for MX racing.....which is what I bought it for! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] You will like the Raptor!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

If i were to get the yfz would it be able to do woods trails and stuff because i am leaning toward that since i have been want to get back to racing for about 2 years since my 250r broke?

 

I'd get the 450, it is what I would like to get. I currently own a Raptor and do the same stuff you just said.
You'll appreciate the lower seat height, and reverse isn't that great unless it is modified.

 

I'v heard that the yfz has no bottom end and no torque. and people say it stalls alot is that true?

 

it has tons of bottom and no top

 

r u sure.... i rode a yfz last week and it pulled all the ay thruogh the powerband

 

my yfz pulls all the way thru....

if you're not pulling.. then yer rpm's are too low for the gear... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

i think i am going to get the yyfz 450 but i'm still not sure. if you want you can still make me change my mind. lol

 

I ride fast trails that are rough. I used to own a raptor and I like the YFZ better in everyway on the trail. It feels like I can go about a gear faster down the trails. Mine pulls hard all the way through the powerband, the faster you go the better the suspension works. I haven't noticed the seat being to hard either.
