Well, I'm going to sell the raptor, and either get a Honda TRX450R or just use the money to make the YFZ a better MX machine. My brother and I are really into MX, and well since the raptor is mine, I can't race the YFZ. And the raptor just doesn't do the job in the track. I thought of getting another YFZ but I want to try something new, and probaly moving to Honda, I know I'm going to miss the torquey motor and more stuff about it, but I always come beat up when I race with the raptor and I can't allow that anymore.

So bye bye raptor and maybe welcome 450R!


Suggestions would be appreciated on what to do.

 

Eh, you've waited a while already, I'd hold out for the 06 models or a great deal on an 05 when the 06 bikes come out. Who knows, you may even have another choice or two by then or have a few good upgrades on existing models.

 

Don't you always bash the Honda?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Congrats!!!! I'm sure you'll find you work on it a lot less then the Yami's [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] I have friends with raptors and will admit it's a decent trail sport quad, but you won't find it has anything on the 450r except electric start and reverse.... The R is easily faster once u let it breath a little with HRC or something else.

 

Lets not start with this crap the YFZ-450 and 450R are both awesome quads and any honda/yami quad is reliable if you know how to take care of it and fix normal wear and tear items. Actually myself id lean more towards the YFZ it’s a better quad for that type of racing...

 

Your right, the YFZ is crap.. LOL [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

 

You may want to wait till mid summer. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] There is another choice on the horizon

 

You sound like the rest of the geeks that get beat up and their lunch money stolen from the track bully (yzf 450). LOL.

 

hahahhahahaha..............when is the new kawi 450 coming out....if theres still time maybe you should wait and check that out.

 

Yeah, I may wait for the 06 models to come out, all of the Z450 rumors are really getting me interested, and about the YFZ becoming a true 450 is also interesting. Let see what happends.
