IMO, the raptor is all about torque, it is also fast. the YFZ is quicker, but you dont feel the same tractor pull as the raptor. In top speeds, they should be the about the same. They are both very reliable. My raptor and YFZ haven't had major problems. I will also tell you that the Raptor is way more comfortable then the YFZ, IMO the YFZ gets you more tired quickly.
How tall are you and how much do you weight, this could really determine your match.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

The weather here is pretty balanced, you get some rainny days in the summer, and also some sunny days in the winter.
Temperature usually never goes above 26/27º C, but it's very humid, like more than 90% humidity, even in summer...
In the winter, temperature is 9/10º C, 8º C in the worst cases, which is nice. Doesn't snow.
Don't know how much is all that in F...
Regarding my weight and height, it's 1,71m for 82kg (182 pounds, I lift weights), again don't know how much is that height in your imperial system.
I won't be doing a lot of pavement riding, for that I would have bought a motorcycle!
But sometimes between trails we do ride on public roads, and sometimes even the highway, so top speed is kind of important.
It takes forever if you're going slow...
And handling is not a problem on asphalt, as long as you know the limits of the machine. I had an LTZ400 before, and that was never an issue.
GaryC, thanks for the welcome!
I come here for a long time, and I have posted a few times, but I forgot my login and password, so I had to get new ones...
It's the best atv forum I've found, by far!
There are some great replys here, great info!
Thanks guys!
It's a tough choice, but your opinions are helping a lot.
Any more opinions?

Another question:
With simple mods (pipe/filter/carbed), how many miles will I get out a tank when fast ridding?
I presume less than stock, right?
I ask this because our rides are usually rather long, usually 60 miles or more (we don't carry our quads on trucks to the trails, because they are street legal, so it's from and to home always on the quad).
Will I have enough fuel for that with the stock fuel tank and with the mods, or will I have to get an IMS?

I'd say go with the rappy...
it seems your not doin any mx that u need the yfz's super light weigh!
u want top speed too so there you go... the rappy got a better top end!
very stong engine? 660 is stronger then 450 [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
reliability! rappy is on the market much more then the yfz... so rappy takes this 1 !
u said u ride trails? ohhhh u need reverse bud! i got a ds and i eat crAp on trails!
rappy got stronger/heavier frame!
i think its a clear one bud... go with the rappy...!

I think that with your size and the looks of the riding you will be doing a Raptor would be a fine choice. The YFZ has a small riding position and may not be comfortable for extended rides. The YFZ is fast but I know after an hour I was looking for my DS..
