I think I want the raptor 700. Does it come with reverse? If not , what is the fastest race quad that does?

[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] Do you think the raptor beats the kfx 450 or the honda 450 r?

They are all 3 good quads and all have there strenghts and weakness.

Do some searching and should be able to find enough info on all 3 to see which best fits your riding style.

the 450 will eat up the raptor on the track..but for trail riding the raptor is king....in a drag race it is very close

yea if your looking for a race quad get the yfz there fast, accelerate fast, and handle great... for any other kind of riding get the raptor it more of an all around quad fast and great on trails

Thanks for the info. But Im a little unclear. I heard that the honda 450 r is more reliable in the motor than the yamaha. And the yamaha doesn't have reverse. So for an all around quad, and being an excelent rider, I would kick some butt on the honda?

Well the 450r doesn't have reverse... as for engine reliability... I'd say they're both durable... Stock, the 450r feels more tipsy than the yfz...

Do some searching on these forums... there's about 5000 "Which is better, raptor yfz or 450r?" threads...
