Has anyone out there had the chance to ride both? If so what would you say the difference was?

No. the YZF vs. the Raptor.

Not the KFX.. but the results will be very similar.

There is a marginal difference in performance between the 4 different 450's. They are all very competitive.

Well i am at the cross roads here with what quad i want to buy. The New KFX 450 or The raptor 700. I do mostly sand dunes but I love to fly ( meaning jumps off of razor backs) and race up the steep hill climbs. I also ride trails but in reality shouldn't go too fast due to the fact that they are public trails and you just never know who is lurking around the corner. I have ridden a 700 all last year and loved it but I had a hard time keeping the front from coming up on me half way up a steep incline. What would you all suggest??
