hmmm i seem to be in a bit of a pickle the issue i am worried about is the low ground clearence of all the machines i could put 22s on the yfz but as i said before the raptor 700 didnt look big it felt big when i sat on it and my dad has an 08 700 grizz and ithas lots of power and i thought that in a sport quad would be to much and i dont have 7000-8000 dollars id like something in the 2-4 maybe 5 thousand dollar range and it doesnt need to be modded any but ther is an 05 z400 at my dealer but it looks beatup so i dont know ther is a clearence sale on april 13 so i have a while to think but who knows at a sale sorry for the huge *** run on sentance but any replies are appriciated

 

A lot of the guys we ride with have 450's and they wouldn't take anything for them. They love them for trail riding and we ride exactly like you mentioned.

 

if 5 grand is your limit forget about a new yfz 450 or raptor 700. look around for a newer 660 raptor...only my opinion.

 

i wasnt looking to buy new but like a 04-06 yfz i could get for around 4 or 5k couldnt i? 660 raptors are nice but my dad might not like it but so i guess ill see but ther is no 660s around here in nebraska so i cant find a deal

 

i have the yfz450se and it is bad *** tha only thing i really dont like is that it dosent have reverse but still its a good bike.

 

I have a 08 Raptor 700r,I put a set of Razr's 22'' on the back and 23'' on the front with wheel spacers and full gytr skids and this thing is a monster,great ground clearence and stable in the corners..

 

yea that was 1 of my drawbacks on the yfz but i would also like to know how does the yfz compare in the snow vs z400,warrior and 660?

The difference in the feel of the size comes from several things. The YFZ has a narrower seat and like someone else stated you have a forward lean on it in riding postion. The pegs on the 450 are higher which brings your knees up more. The 700 does sit about a inch taller in stock trim so the combination of those things are the feel you get.

You should be able to find a nice quad for the 4 to 5k price you are looking at. A buddy of mine just got a nice 05 450r for $3500.

 

people have said they dont like the ergos on the yfzbut im a young kid so it wont bother me none but my warrior always got stuck in snow i didnt kno wich one was the best in snowy terrain
