Tell me how is it good news then?   You will lose whatever respect you have earned for being the only miniho with a raptor.

Just kiddin' I'd be excited as well.

[exentix]

haha yea but like i said, untill i have it, im not gettin my hopes up too much, never kno something could happen...

[kyledvor61]

kyle, were probably looking locally, not 2-3 states away sorry

well good luck with whatever you find, but remember im here for cheap :grin_nod:

and i thought you wanted a kfx

if you work and put in some more money you can get a used 07 for 4200ish

[who else but rk]

maybe this is your calling to get a bike.......just saying

[exentix]

well i would like a kfx but i want to stay in the family some... and the only way to get a kfx around here is new, there are alot of yfz's for sale locally tho.

i think i would rather have a 450 than a 700 actually, im a smaller dude, i think i could make the 450 work, ill get a different seat if i get the yfz, and maybe some lakers, idk... and i read somewhere that theres a way to make them feel less cramped, its because the pegs are mounted high on the frame, you can get aftermarket pegs that are lower and solve the problem 

rk i would like to get a bike, but... i get snow and i cant ride a bike in snow, and theres no tracks or anywhere to ride a bike here. so ill stick with a quad.

the pegs thing is on the YFZ450R. you said you didnt like the feel of a yfz 

i think a 700 would be better suited for your riding style, just by looking at the pics of where you ride.
