Nothing stock has touched mine yet.

 

Here we go with what it takes one bike to beat another bike in a long drag..

I would say get rid of the 450 and buy the 700r..
What are you really wanting to know.. If you are going to mod one bike to beat another stock bike, whats up with that.. If you mod both bikes you still wont beat it..


I had a honda 450r beat me in a long staight pull last weekend. But that doesnt mean a 450r will beat a 700r,,, does it?
He had a full HRC kit, piped, taller gearing and in the long haul he was a couple of mph faster, but he couldnt get off the line very fast..

So whats it all mean,, absolutely nothing...

 

I'll be ridin' with one this weekend at Pismo. I'll let ya guys know how it is and how I faired against it.

 

a guy on the forums had a ds650 with a endcap on his stock pipe and a k and n in the box he constantly tied him over and over again in his races......the raptor had air box lid removed and the endcap off his stock pipe......this was flat drags in sand if i remember corectly.

 

what is the maximum distance for a 2006 yfz450 to for shure beat a raptor 700r..

 

ugghh...

 

They don't make the quadzilla anymore.

 

Yea I know. Its been many years since they have but I was wondering since the LT500r was the fastest production quad for that last few years is it not?, could be beaten by a 700raptor

 

That is a tough one. I have never seen one in action myself. I have heard that the Zilla was Bad to the bone. Dirt Wheels likes to re-print their older tests. It would be cool if they did a real, side by side test of a new quad with one of the old beasts. Like trx450r VS 250r.

 

They will never test the latest "greatest" machines against the older 2-stroke bikes. Why? If they were to show you that the late 80's technology will still hang in there and even surpass today's bikes, which one would you buy? The new machine for $7000 or the older, just as fast, not like everyone else's $3000 bike? See what I'm saying? I'm not ******* the latest ATV's out today, but if you step back and look the technology gap from 1989 and 2005 aren't that far apart. Sure, the new 700 has FI, but so did BMW motorcycles in the 80's. Just my .02 cents.
