I'd say it falls in between those two, but more fun. Reliable and Raptor dont go in the same sentence in my book, the 450R should be worlds better with good maintainance.

the raptor is a complete POS compared to the 450r IMO. if you could ride a banshee in the woods you can ride anything in the woods. I take my 450 trailriding all the time and its set up for MX. Its well worth it.

The 450R is a little better than a banshee in the woods. Its still high strung like the banshee, but the supension is worlds better. Dropping it one tooth will help but the motor doesnt like to be bogged down like a Raptor or a 400ex, it likes to run. With a little practice you can definetly trail ride it, as most of us do, and when you want to screw around racing its ready for that too!! Especially with the HRC kit already installed. It should be a screamer!!
