LMAO yeah that must have been one long *** sentence!..


glow plug - my quad can easily do over 80 mph, if i threw on some 22 inch tires and changed the gearing from mx to real tall gearing..

80 mph? lol. I pretty sure no quad off the showroom floor with no mods will do 80...maybe Im wrong, but youd have to change the gearing. Some will come close though im sure. Hell, who knows.

Good info, just breathe every once in a while. lmao. :D

its just a quad man. I rode 2 differant ones and wasn't impressed with it stock but I think its gotta lotta potential once its got some mods. I really liked the ergo's compared to the 400 seeing i'm a big guy. 6'2, 175lbs.

let me straighten things out... the yfz450 does not go 80mph. i was at the press release for it in calif. and it tops out at about 71mph. the raptor is still the fastest stock atv available.

Yeah, dealers will say anything to sell a bike. When i bought my 400ex the guy said it was the fastest quad available, top of the line and it would go over 70 easy. I knew a lot about it so I just kinda chuckled to myself. I knew it wasn't the fastest, but a great all around sport machine. Most of these sales guys have never even ridden what they sell.

yeah of course it could do over 80 IF you did those mods. But could it go 80 mph stock??? I don't think so

actually the DS650 is about 2 mph faster than the raptor on the top end.

Cannondale was the fastest....when they were still being made:(

I would rather buy a dale than the yfz anyways! We have owned 2 yamaha's before and they were $h!t, i hated them...thats just my opinion though!

Are you sure about that? What about the Gas-Gas's?

i just got back from my honda/yamaha dealer and i saw a red/white yfz450. that thing look sweet so i went over and sat on it, the seat feels perfect to me and the same with the handlebars and levers. i moved around on it and it seemed like the perfect quad for my size, even though i'm 14 and about 5'8" but i own a banshee. now i'm starting to think maybe it's time to sell the 'shee and attack my savings account for one of these things!! i also picked up the front and back end and it seemed pretty damn light...at least compared to my banshee and my friends 400ex's.

and about the top speed...who cares anyway?? it's stock...no one leaves a good quad stock...anyway, this thing is built for racing, and not really drag racing but it could be set up for it....so what would you rather want? a quad that has good all around power and a lower top speed, or something that has the highest top speed around there but sucks on a track?:ermm: *cough*my banshee:( *cough*

yea they look impressive. i might call around to see which deal is the best. i think that where my dad got his grizzly because they are good people(suzuki/yamaha dealer) that i hang around there more than my honda dealer and they have good service so maybe i canm coax 6800-6900 OTD because he told me they ordered 30 of them.

i thought the banshee was the fastest stock quad...when dirtwheels tested them the banshee was something like 77.3 and the raptor was like 76.somehting.

Yeah i sat on one at a dealer yesterday.. they sellin it straight msrp. :eek: he said prolly 7400 out the door.. I'm really thinkin about it. I loved that thing, but it still seemed narrow, i figured they would have that thing WIDE if its race ready but nope. After lookin at it up close youd definatly have to spend some $$ just to get it up to par. But I like it a lot!!!! Ohh I wish I knew if Honda was coming o ut with something :mad:

7400 is a little high for one of those they only got a 6400msrp or something like that on yamahas website. that dealer is busting your *** on those prices.

$7400:eek2: , don't waste your money on that shzt. When honda comes out and you know they will for sure this year cause of competition, I hope the price is reasonable, damn I'ev been saving up for a long time and I don't thik it's worth it. Might just stay with the old Honda, until all the suckers buy the over priced ones.

the yamaha is fine for dunes but if your a trail rider and **** then it's not a good machine my friends dad bought one and it is sick until we hit the trails then then my 400 and my friends 300 blow it away. i donno if it was becaus eit wasn't broken in or what but i didn't like it.

Actually, according to ATVSport's newest issue, the DS650 is (they did a radar speed test) at aproximately 70.49 MPH. But who cares, those numbers aren't exact anyways and they are affected by many variables. Top speed isn't that important on a track.

Nice 450 in the new issue though Cody..

I think the qaudzilla did 80mph stock.
