Lfraga....just out of curiosity...My wife just paid 5300 dollars for an 04 Z400 last January.....How much in comparison does one cost where you reside..and how hard is it for you to get parts?

 

The ltz sell for 8150 euros...
Almost 10200 dollars...

Incredible, isn't it?

And my outlander max xt was 11.700 euros!!!
nearly 14.650 dollars!!!

And my wage is 750 euros (935 dollars) a month!
Which, by the way, is considered an average wage, so it's no so bad...

I bet you can see now why I said I would love to emigrate to America...


As far as parts are concerned, simple mods are no real problem, but cams, big bores, etc, are a pain in the ****...
In fact, there isn't a single big bore quad or motorcycle in Azores.
There are some tricked out, but no big bores.

 

get hte raptor overall it is the better quad

 

LFraga, those are some outrageous prices!!! hopefully you will be able to work things out financially! have you ever visited US or canada?

 

you cant be serious are those american dollars???

 

In my opinion the raptor is a better pick for you. It does have reverse which is good. The frames on them are not that weak, if you hit somthing hard on the yfz450 you will still dent the frame. Just get some extended a-arms and axel to help stabalize it. the raptor does about 70 mph out of the box. The yfz goes a little faster but not much. The raptor has unbeliveable power. I weigh 215 pounds, and the raptor will pull the front wheels up in second gear with me on it. dont get me wrong, the yfz is an awsome quad but for your applicatin the raptor is a better pick.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I would go with the raptor

 

LFraga did you make up your mind yet?
