350

Gas (2.6 gallons) ~16.9lbs
Oil (2.3 quarts)~1.8lbs
Antifreeze ( I'm guessing less than a gallon) ~ 7.5lbs
Total ~26.2LBS ???
Corrected: thanks Darkside :thumbs:
Yeah, I'm not sure where this added weight is coming in. Anyone know what a rappy's wet weight is?
I know for sure off hand 396 is dry weight.

oh, don't be a girl.
I bought the rappy brand spankin new. only prob to date. the stupid bullet connector. Sure they['ve upgraded a few things. But hell. knowing you're a pioneer 8) I'll take it!
keep in mind, the Raptor 700 was borrowed from the design of the YFZ (and improved in many areas)
and now the new YFZ is taking what was good on the 700 and stepping it up
so, it kinda is not the first year
I would not be scared to buy one
will I?
not sure yet, I like my YFZ
Still no reverse :confused:You'd think they would have added that.
The extra 2" width looks more like 4"...

reverse has no place on the race track, the yfz is a race quad, and now the YFZ450R is even more for race
coming off my 660, I reached for reverse allot only to find it wasn't there
but you get used to it, you really don't miss it much after you adjust your self
and Brad...
I like the looks better too!

I hate riding other quads because of that! :lol:
To bad only about 40% of people who buy them will ever race them. I think the other 60% would enjoy the option of having reverse.
well then they should consider that when they buy it, or get a kfx if they really want a race quad. thats why they made the raptor, its made for trails, and guess what? its got reverse!

I know reverse is what steered me to the raptor. If the YFZ would have had it, I would have bought that in a heart beat. and then missed all of you fine fellas..

ARE YOU OLD ENOUGH? :rofl:
ah crap!.... forgot about that... NO! :mad:
i think its an ugly hunk of shit that is basically a 450 raptor. definitely not a yfz.
your just mad you got one and they came out with it after you got urs...
jk man where you been?!
i honestly regret nothing you couldnt give that thing to me. it represents everything in this world i hate (raptors) :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
would you get the non fi version?
its not the FI that bugs me. just the design. its basically a mx raptor. no joke. same frame design and look around the headlights, raptor style flares. all its missing is vents in the hood. ???
well the headlights were off the yfz originally werent they? and i think its cool lol i like the new seat and the soft plastic stuff on the side
seat= quadracer style. its the flares around the headlights im talking about. i guess overall i can just sayim "disappointed" with the new design. though im sure it rides like a dream ;)
so the only thing you dont like is the fender flares? uhh can you say laker plastics? :clap: id prolly just hack em anyway...
yea they have sweet stock shocks, id kill for them on my 350 lol
Yeah, has a nice "Raptor" look to it. Just a sign of the times. :grin_nod: :thumbs:
i actually really really really like the new 450r's... i wanted a kfx 450 after i got rid of my 350 but now i think im leaning towards the yfz, if only there was reverse, lol but i can do without
id hack those fenders off as soon as i got it and be happy 8)

KFX is a nice bike and the fenders are removable with race cuts underneath 8)
thats one of the two main reasons i want one, that and reverse
and theyre not 8000 dollars :lol:
the price will go down in a year or so, its the first year, yea its gonna be expensive
ehhh idk know about all that ???
prices of everything are just going up up up
no doubt, sucks for our generation (good seein ya back on some lately lol)
i still wanna check one of these machines out when my local dealer gets one
I dont want one i need one :jaw:
http://www.myquadvideos.com/videos/MX_Racing/Yamaha_YFZ450R_Promo_Video
i agree lol
looks like those quads have the potential to shred. hopefully yamaha will get some good riders and get up on the podium some next season. could have picked better riders for a promo cuz those guys suck
throw me on one, ill show ya how to ride it lol... i wonder if they will have to make new mods for them, cas they changed alot of stuff around, some stuff might need to be fitted different?
The stock exhaust sounded horrible in that video :lol:
i was thinking the same thing, i wonder if theyre corked up like the raptor, like throw an exhaust commander and intake and its a whole new bike?
i would imagine so due to emissions hippies. though how come all the other " new gen" race quads can have uncorked exhausts?
and why the fu*k would they throw that awful black piece of shit on this new quad? for christs sake put on a damn aluminum muffler already and put a quiet core in it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mad:

The KFX is severely corked up too
but the ds and ktm are basically already let loose right? and the ltr just need the baffle removed and a cherry bomb.
pretty much cody but if the yfz can still compete it must have more potential

yea just think about this. the yfz and honda run equal to all these new fangled quads in the races. which proves to me the quad there riding doesnt really mean shit, its all about which mfg. *buys* the best race team. Look at honda in the mx standings. the top ten is almost always dominated by hondas. and hondas is very behind in the tech department much like the former yfz. which thus proves me thesis. its all about the rider, not the quad. it doesnt matter which one of these beasts you have. (unless you have a suzuki then you blow)....

It's like NASCAR boys. It may say Chevy on the hood, but there's maybe four bolts on the whole damn race car that you could go to your dealeship and buy. Rider ofcourse is a difference maker, but so are builders :thumbs:
+1 on the Nascar anaology Colorado.
But...I read the write up for the new YFZ in the Quad magazine. Lots of pics.
I really want one. I just wish they weren't so uncomfortable.
the new seat should be more comfortable
looks like an ltr copied seat to me
yea pretty much... thats the ONLY thing i like about the looks of the ltr tho actually ???
