Outskirts of Kanakee ILL 60 miles south of Chicago and 5 Miles east of Kankaee, The House was right on the bank of the Kankakee river. To Dam cold for me now! Been in Calif. for 24 years. Good luck on your Yfz450 or 700 decision. The Yfz is concidered to be the fastest production bike out of the box, but the 700 has alot of bolt on aftermarket parts out with a lot more to come. Im over 6' and didnt like yzf bars nailing my knee's and it feels a whole lot more comfortable overall than the Yfz,

Hey FasterdeRapMakeMeHap
how's that 2nd raptor doing??
Thanx fo asking! I Love That Thang ! Rode it for about 30 min. then took it to Trinity in Anaheim for the 734 kit ,ported & polished in side and out, high flow valve grind, intake with K&N Filter 12:1 Pistion, Trinty pipe and fuel injection Mod. H.D. Cluch and dyno tuned @ 62.8 corrected HP @ Rear WHL. With 50.2 Ft LBs. of Torque at 6600 rpm.Took it to Octi Wells last weekend and had to much fun at blow sand, Flying up that hill about 60, doing 4th & 5th gear Wheelies all the way up, with no paddels on. Thats what I call FUN! I'm gonna throw a set of paddels on and go to Glammis or Dumount dunes in a week or two. Where do you normally Ride?

If that's the case, I should buy about 10 of them and re-sale em'...lmao....There is no way they are selling them for that price OTD. I'm not from Missouri but you gotta "show me" an invoice for me to believe it.....

LOL, you can believe whatever you want, but I , and others have bought them from a dealer in eastern Ohio for $6091. And yes, I have a receipt to prove it.

They are expensive right now but I bet they come down a bit when there are used ones to buy. There will be used ones eventually. There are always the morons who bought it because it looked cool, then just about killed themselves on the first ride.

If they were less I'd consider looking at one, but I only paid $5199 for my KFX last April, and my local dealers are getting $7400-7600 on the tag before tax and title for the 700.
