i currently own a raptor 660 and im thinking of moving on to a 450, i love yamaha but im not sure if ill be comfortable in an 07 yfz.. I am 6ft 4inches tall and just wondering if any tall guys feel kinda cramped?..i race in the desert so ill be getting a quadtech desert seat and a +2 stem but im not sure if that will help.

im 6'1" and feel fine, my dad has a 660 and i ride it sometimes and to tell you the truth after getting use to my yfz the 660 hurts my back after a while with the tall gas tank, the 450 may be lower but it makes up for it with the lower gas tank

I am 6'4" as well, I feel cramped on the Yam, so went with a Honda purley for comfort, it is quite a bit better for me.

I haev a friend that is 6`2" and loves his yamaha, so it is a bit of personal preference. He also had to get mid bars with risers to feel comfortable though.

yeah like you said, get the tall quad tech seat, +2 stem, and hi rise handlebars, and you should be ok. you can get a set of risers also.
