Air - Have you put your machine throught it paces yet? Riding a DS650 I'd assume your pretty big guy. I'm only 5'-7" and weight about 165 pounds.

YFZ450kid - I'm sick of spending endless hours on fixing them up and having someone steal them. This can just as easily happen with a new four stroke, but to start I will only add a couple of things to the four strokes. Also hate to admit it but I'm getting up in age, and as a lot of people know the Banshee isn't the most easiest machine to ride.

sikraptor - As I mentioned to Air I'm not very big, so the machine being smaller isn't really an issue. I'm use to the just under 400 pounder though.

Outlaw - Its a really hard idea to give up the Banshee, but I think I've convinced myself that I can live without it. This is atleast until a modified Banshee blows by me on a straight away or up a large coal hill. I can always sell the four stroke and buy a Banshee again if I find out they just are not for me. I'm ready to give them a try.

Keelam I know just how you feel.

One thing I keep saying to myself though is look at all the changes they made to the YFZ450. Is the Raptor really where it needs to be or are they going to come out with a lot of changes next year. I will be really unhappy if they make a lot of changes and I'm stuck with the 06' model just like people who had the 01'. If I had a machine right now, I would wait a while but I've been riding my wifes Blaster looking for more gears.

Are these correct assumption about the Raptor 700R - Better handling in the trails, more top end, more comfortable ride

Has anyone added a pipe to a 700R?

Which quad is more stable the 700R or YFZ450?

Thanks again everyone!
