Which would be the better buy? Here is the 2006 YFZ450.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250385733145&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&viewitem=
I am really lost on which one to get. I have never ridden a Raptor 700 (just an 01' 660). I am a pretty light guy weighing it at around 150/160. It will be for a lot of trail riding and there are also 10 or so area's where I ride to really open it up also (dirt/sand).
I like the YFZ because because it comes modded, but not over-done. I know the reserve and am willing to spend it. It is around $4500.. I think maybe a little lower. The drive is a little further but that doesn't bother me. I don't like the YFZ just because I have heard quite a few people not liking the ride comfort. Also I have read that it isn't the greatest on trails. Also the ding in the A-arm worries me.. should it?
I like the 700 because it was hardly ridden, have heard it has awesome low end torque so trails are a blast, is fuel injected - which seems like all plus's there, and the price is only 4000 (and it's been on the market for about 2 weeks) so I know I can get it cheaper. I don't like it because it is bone stock, and I'd like to at least have some pipes.. and buying this new quad will be my last purchase for at least a couple months. Here is the into on it:
2006 Yamaha Raptor 700. Very fast fuel injected. Women owned. Low miles. With rear paddle tires.
