5 Reasons To Buy A Yamaha YFZ 450R VS A Raptor 700R

These are both the legends of sports quads and hats off to Yamaha for still making them. Check out this video to see 5 reasons why a YFZ 450 may be the better fit for you.

Have own a few of both and i love both quads for many reasons. But nothing like the torqe of the bigbore 700...hammer it from a roll and they pull hard espeacially 2015+ with big 3

In 2007 I got into race quads. I had wanted a raptor since I was a little kid so when I went shopping for one. The significantly lower centre of gravity and wider stance of the yfz instantly had me sold. Few years later I was able to ride a 700r a buddy of mine had and I was super glad I went with the yfz. I have the 2019 se in red but I’m swapping it out for the lime green 25 SE. so dope

I bougt new in 22 a yfz and i love it!! Its such a rush to ride!! Mine is all stock and dont really plan on upgrades because its plenty fast for 42 year old guy. I really prefer the stock exhaust and like it quite.

finally a channel that gets to the point of what im asking for. keep it up

450 is gonna be at you up way more so If your under 30yo go 450 over 30yo 700. Don't get me wrong I'm sure there's 40 yo that still love to tear it up on the regular but they're not as common as the ones that are feeling their age. Im 51 and have a cammed and piped ect 01 660 and I haven't ridden it in years just have no interest, it just sits collecting dust, it's in pretty good shape but at its age it really should have a new timing chain maybe a set of rings while im in it but I'd rather put my time and money into my 95 5.0 and my old 92 c1500 hot rod truck maybe someday go all through it n give it a spit shine, wouldn't mind building a wheelie bar and take it to the drag strip and have some slow fun, would be cool to put it on the chip and dump the clutch and not end up on the grab bar.

Never owned a raptor but I have a million hours logged on a blaster, banshee, and a Yfz. With race experience on the banshee and Yfz…. The Yfz chassis is incredible. Many times I was prepared to eat the dirt and the Yfz straightened out and kept me on the tires. In those same situations the banshee would have dumped me…. Can’t speak for the raptor but with how much I liked the Yfz it would be hard for me to choose anything over the 450

[KristianThompson-lbtn]

I prefer the yfz over raptor because it's wish length and lower makes it a whole new level of balence and stablness and safety is better and you feel safer to drive faster and more comfortably plus its slowness is good for balence and low stance is better for racing and in my opinion it just looks better and more aggressive its more expensive for a good reason

I miss my 07 yfz se. I had a full Dasa exhaust.

Are you riding on doe mountain in Johnson county Tennessee?

[mhs]

I want to buy a atv to ride in the city, any recommendations on which is the best and why? Also is the raptor or the yfz also a good option to choose for?

[anthonychisolm]

Well I'm over 30+! So Raptor 700R SE over here then if that's the case?

[OoNervo]

700 raptor is not for cross .on road its best atv quad

[lhurst]

Maybe you can answer I guestion for me, does the YZ450 engine ever filter down to the YZF? The newest gen of the YZ engine came out in '23, it is now in the WR. What year of the YZF could one expect the latest 450 design to be in?

[splkzyy]

I live in the Middle East. Kuwait to be exact, and we have many sand dune/ desert biome areas. so I am looking for something that’s both soft and stable for those sudden washboard situations.

[Masoic]

Are you still running the stock clutch? I heard the 14+ clutch baskets tend to fail. I just bought a 24 and I’m wondering if it’s worth it to switch to the old style basket or upgrade to rekluse/hinson setup.

[EDsavant]

If your more into trail riding the 700 all the way if you want to go to the track get the 450

[jeremybales]

Which handlebars and what riser are you running?

[Ruben.]

I was thinking about how the yfz bars are lower and then I noticed you have a riser

[jimbigboystoys]

Why has all the other manufacturers stop making sport quads? I used to have a blast on mine! Has the activity lost its allure with people somehow?

[GUTI-psoy]

Could you please tell me Something about engine overheating ? How does the 450 behave on slower riding? I need to drive 10-15 slow miles (stop and go) to arrive to my favorite trails....
