[RR34]

well i can tell you from experience that if youre comfortable on the 350 than you will be comfrotable on the yfz

im comfortable on a 350. and a 700 feels exactly the same to me.  then how would i be comfortable on a 450 if some people say theyre too small...

[devildog108]

my guess would be posture and stance, but just to stir up more crap, lets throw a 660 in the mix...why not?  Theres one here for sale as well with a decent price.....And if the 700 is Fuel Injected, doesnt that mean you will ahave to take it to the shop every time you add something, such as a simple pipe?

600 is more tippy than the 700 but it can be fixed...

youll need a pc3 or dobeck for the 700 to correct the a/f ratio if you add a pipe or something, its pretty much like jetting a carbed quad. except with a pc3 its all electronic  but im sure some of the others can get into more detail

My opinion is if you're not going to build an MX racer get the 700. I've owned a 450R and two of my buddies have YFZ 450's and there is a reason why I'm on a 700. Fit and Feel. 450's are great bikes don't get me wrong but I love the way the Raptor feels under me. Like everyone said.. you gotta  go try it out for yourself. You'll here Raptor here and YFZ on a YFZ forum. Now get out there and test drive them!

The only way you're gonna know what's right for you DD, is seat time on both.

+1 go to stealership and at least sit on them.

+1. Go the dealership and sit on both. Go to a yfz site and ask the same question with everything you have said here and maybe they can give you better info since most know alot more than me

i agree on the cramped thing......i'm a short fellow thinking bout sending the rappy away in favor of a 450.....the raptor's just too big for me to throw around the way i want to

OK, if the yfz is considered "cramped", how does its size compare to the Rapt 350......Im 6' 190....and i think my 350 is great.....

350 is a little bit bigger than the 450.. I have been on trails and dragged both bikes (450 and 700) I'm 5'11" and 175 lbs.. In my opinion there was no ?'s asked.. Rappy is the winner.. The only reason I would choose a 450 if I was doing mx or a light weight hill shooter but thats it!

I am 6'2" 190 lbs and most all the 450s feel WAY to small for me! I did spend some time on a KFX450 this weekend and thought it was a nice bike, for a 450. They are a bit more roomier than the YFZ.

i heard the yfz is like the most cramped feeling one...

Let's not forget that the YFZ has more actually racing victories than most of all the other sport quads combined.  I don't believe anyone is bashing the YFZ, just expressing our opinions on why we choose a Raptor instead.
