This quad is awesome! It revs more than anything I ever rode, it just keeps pulling, and I have ridden a few. I am kind of a little bummed about Suzuki releasing a quad with ultra wide track off the showroom floor, but I had the dough to widen my YFZ, and now it is unstoppable. I also own the new raptor 700r and love both of them. Let me explain my results with racing both of them. Stock vs. stock, the YFZ pulls the 700 by only about a quad length almost every time. If you short shift the Raptor it will almost pull even, but the YFZ revs out way more. In addition, the Raptor's engine in stock form is very limited and made that way so anyone can ride it, but when you put on a pipe (exhaust) and pro air filter and pop the air box lid off, watch out! It wakes that engine up more than any other quad with those simple mods and pulls the YFZ by about six quad lengths! For mx racing, the YFZ can't be beat. However, for GNCC racing and just about everything else, the Raptor beats it out overall. This is because its more rider friendly with very comfortable ergonomics (for long rides), fuel injection, reverse, looks, broader power band(serious torque), much plusher, and more versatile. It also handles just as good as the YFZ, as it shares a lot of the width, length, height and chassis from it. So, if you want the best mx quad out there, get one of these yfz450s.If you don't mx much and want the best overall quad money can buy, get the 700r.
