Ive got a 05 yamaha 660raptor with a rev box, jet kit, and full LRD exhaust, and holehot tires. I was wondering if it would be worth selling the raptor and get an 07 yfz450 all stock. I race every saterday at a local track. also if im not racing i do some trail riding with some buddies. I like doing both but im not sure what to do.
I didnt know if i would lose any power going to an all stock yfz or gaining power.
its not an option having both, cant afford it. also ive looked at the 450s alot and i really like the yfz. so honda,suzuki,and so on are not options has to be yamaha.

 

The only problem with getting a YFZ is that the aftermarket parts are so expensive

 

Buy a 08' Raptor 700r

 

get the yfz you will love it. any i dont think you will lose that puch power. i think over all it will be a lot faster.

 

If you are racing every week I would get the 450. You may lose a little power while it is still stock but the handling on the track will most likely translate into faster times anyway. Then add a exhaust and stuff later and your set.

The 450 do decent on the trails. The more open/faster they are the better they do, they just require more clutch work in slower areas.
