well see if you listen to the yfz it is higher pitched... meaning it has a higher stroke... also means its a race bike not a trail bike like the low pitched 700r
I've seen so many vids of Raptors run YFZs it all comes down to the rider.... I own both both they feel the same to me, only difference is raptor has power thoughout rpm range, and a really short first gear, and the yfz has power at high rpms and slightly shorter gears.
dude you can look by the quality of the videos that those riders are not experts. And the fact if you see uploader comments like with Kamblada he doesn't know shit either :)
Have a 700r and yfz450 my friends beats me by a tire length everytime mines stock tho he has gears n all this shit so I don't know oh I have a pipe that's it so... That's weird the raptor won cause I couldn't win
okay guy 450 quad is for racing track and 700 for trail riding so dont be fucking stupid i own mine 09 yfz450r stock. pretty quick then 700r for real. and i am 16yr old.
One of my friends was tryin to talk me outta getting a yfz he said that the kfx is better cause it has reverse. Reverse is an extra gear so that means it's gonna slow it down havin an extra gear in there that's why a true racin bike doesn't have reverse
a 450's handling is 10 fold better than the raptor...so racing in a straight line tells nothing...jump it and see who the winner is...gurantee ur a lot less sorry on the yfz
Both in stock trim, and with the same racer on both machines, against the stop watch:
I'd expect the Raptor to win every drag race.
A race through tight trails or over a MX track and I'd expect the YFZ to win.
After you put thousands of dollars into either machine (suspension (shocks, a-arms, axles), tires, engine, intake and exhaust) you no longer have a Raptor nor YFZ. The race is all up to the racer at that point.
honsetly in my opinion (which i am aloud to have so dont freak) neither quad is better, you have your ups n downs with both machines, rappy weighs more but has more torque, yfz weighs less but has less torque. just too hard to converse on which is better kuz really their equal, and racing them isnt gonna prove anyhting unless you could some how magically clone someone because everyone rides differently from everyone else.. thats my input
they are both built by yamaha....they are both great machines...built for two different reasons...so why are ya'll bitching like pregnant teenage girls.....i have a 700 myself, i love it...ive also owned a 450, loved it lalso.... i like my rappy more because of comfort mostly...but other than that, performance wise, they are extremely close in comparison...too close to worry about. so quit bitching about who's quad is better or what quad is better...as long as you ride yamaha who gives a fuck!!!
The whole power to weight ration goes out the window against a torque monster like the raptor. While they similar power (HP) the 700 makes much more torque and a lot sooner than the 450's. Oh and you don't need to be a pro to know how to drag race a 450. You just have to know myour bike.
we all know these two are totally different. and of course we all know the 700r will win in the long run because of its motor. but if u get to pro riders on the two and drag them up a hill or what not, like where two people are likely to race, the 700r cant touch the yfz. its power to weight ratio and its race ready rep is to much for the 700r to handle with out a long run for the top end to kick in on it
it's pretty stupid comparing the two because the 450 is a race bike and the 700 is a trail bike. so thats means that the 450 has got a shorter stroke so it wont have the top speed as the 700
@kambalda 700r is a race bike and the 450 is a trail bike yfz got irs and other things that make it mor comfortable and able to climb but the raptor is a track-drag bike... stupid
i had a raptor 700r at my house for 4 weeks road it everyday i just got a new 07 yfz it wrecks the raptor 700 from take off will beat it through most the gears the raptor will pass it when the 200 more ccs kick in. at the end. the yfz alot more agressive
my 700 spanks all of my friends 450s. yours must be special. dumb ass. you cant compare a 450 with the 700.more torque,horsepower,fuel injection and only weighs 48lbs more. go to school homo.
yeah a 700 can outrun a yfz but not even by 1 full quad length. other then that whats it got. cant jump it. yfz can slide better. yfz can do everythign better
not to mention, the raptor runs a stock comp. ratio of 9.2-1. the yfz needs a stock comp. ratio of 11.4-1 just to hang with it. In then end, there is no replacement for displacement.
I walked into the Yamaha dealership and told them to sell me the fastest quad that Yamaha made and the guy pointed at he yfz450. A 350 raptor won't smoke any 450.
you know what the fastest quad in any dealership is? The one the salesmen makes the most money off of, or has the most to sell before the next model year comes there. the one they say is the fastest may not be, but they already have their commission form the sale after you find out it isn't the fastest.
ariel4more. That's total bullshit. You think the difference in the commision is more than a few dollars. I've sold just about everything at any kind of dealership imagineable. To think that the commision on a yfz 450 was worth more to the salesman than the raptor is retarded... making your comment retarded... and making you a retard.
Why wouldn't it be? Look at the whole 450 craze. The dealers will order what they think they will sell them most of. They have more 450's to get rid of at the end of the year, why wouldn't they say what the coustomer wants to hear in order to get them off the floor. Brand new or not, an '07 is still a year old in '08. At least that is the way the lending corporations will look at it, therefore making it harder to get rid of them if they stay on the showroom floor.
lol true. 350s suck compared 2 da yfz. 4 1 thing it has 100 less cc. 2 its heavier-by like 25 pounds and 3rd the yfz is a RACING quad! do you really think dat anything less can beat it?
bullshit your 350 raptor can beat a 450. I used to own a 350. Though it was a great quad, and didn't cost a whole lot, a trx450r made it look like a joke. I don't even like hondas, but I'll admit it, he flat out smoked me like a cheap cigar.
The yfz is the biggest piece of shit I have ever seen,they are uncomfertable to ride,and the raptor is faster hands down,I bought a 07 yfz 450 and had it two days before the motor came apart,the dealer gave me a 700 raptor to replace it,and now I swear by the raptor.
ok little girl, maybe their goal in making the race quad wasnt entirely on making it comfortable, but fast. and the motor came apart? were there tools involved? im pretty sure they dont just disassemble themselves, or it would make a technicians job much easier.
i would race 700r when i was stock and win and when i was just jet n pipe. now im modded and bored and will smoke em even worse. yes it goes by weight and the way the rider rides it. both of them stock the yfz is faster but not by much.
unless you weigh 90 pounds, or have a YFZ all modded up, you need to do your homework. the raptor will always win, unless you are on a motocross track. I have heard this from several different YFZ owners.
its only because of the suspension setup and motor placement....im a raptor guy, but on asphalt, a yxf wil always win, on dirt,..90% of the time the rappy will
wtf these guys can not ride i would have won every time on the 450....and if they want to see what is faster get the bikes of that hard pan dirt Noob's
both are badass machines, when it's that close, the driver weight and shifting quickness can make all the difference. i'de take either over my 350 raptor
yeah, who would ever guess that a Yamaha Raptor 700R would absolutely Dominate a Yamaha YFZ450....
Why don't we get a Honda CRF450R out & Stack it up against a Honda CRF150R too!!!
