Is a yfz 450 faster than a raptor 660?

Answer 1

Okay, on a pavement or hard-packed dirt "drag race" (in a straight line) with both ATVS stock without any motification and both riders are about the same skill level, The 450 WILL beat the 700 in a shorter race, but if this is a longer drag race (nearly a km or a mile) The 700 should pull ahead, if the 700 has a exhaust mod or other types of peformance boosting modifications the 700 should be able to even beat the 450 in a shorter range drag race. At top speed the 700 is a faster machine in the long way, but the 450 has more "get up and go" (acceleration) so it will mostly beat the 700 in a short range drag race, but if both machines have peformance boosting mods in a long range the 700 should usually still beat the 450 by about 2-5 quad lengths

EDIT: That was all about speed, but if you want ome info about what one to buy read this: The YFZ is a good, very fast, high performance sport ATV but it more strictly for racing or fast/high speed trail riding or drag racing. It also has a very high maintenance level. You should keep on top of your oil changes , tire pressure, air filter, and grease bearing after ever 1-3 long distance rides. But if you just want a more comfortable quad for medium or fast trail riding or just having nice rides you should lean more towards the 700 raptor, The 700 has a quite a bit lower maintenance level but you should still keep on top of all your repairs and replacements for maximum performance. If you are looking to do a bit of LITTLE jumps (3-10 FT.) You should be fine with this- There is a lot of controversy about how this ATV's weight is unbalanced, this is somewhat true, if you are trying to hit larger jumps you may feel you might be un balanced or tilting forward when in mid-air this is because of the much larger engine and heavier components. But if you are looking to do high jumps you might want to looking into the YFZ because it is a very low center of gravity type of quad, If you are a larger person you may feel crammed while sitting on the YFZ. I personally have both type of ATV's i am a 16 year old guy that is about 5'11 180lbs i fit the quad perfectly i also like driving the YFZ because it feels like your in more control (may be because of the lower ground clearance) and i like to drive very aggressively. But if you have a chance try to try out both of them and see how you feel on each of the, if you do not feel completely comfortable on the YFZ it is a normal feeling (i felt it to and i had to get use to it) It is because of the tighter area and lower to the ground. The 700 raptor's seat is a quite a bit higher so you may feel more powerful on it, and just because its a 700 doesn't meant its better in all ways. If you are trying to decide between the two do research on the internet. (if your reading this you probably already are) I think that i covered most stuff that i wanted, If you have more questions email@: Jeremy_89_91@hotmail.com --Jeremy8991.

Answer 2

The YFZ by just a hair. ATV magazine clocked the Predator top speed at 73 mph while the YFZ was clocked at 75 mph (they were using a GPS unit to clock speed). yamaha450- a yfz450 will demolish a predator500...yfz450 shreds predator 500 that's the title on you tube check it out...but my yfz is stock it runs 88-92 depends on the weather...it spanked a predator 500 with pipe that was tuned fine...and my friends yfz450 has a pipe and he wheelied and still smoked him

Answer 3

The YFZ is a little quicker but they both have the same top speed of 75 mph. Of course actually racing one several other influences will have an affect like weight of riders, terrain, conditions, etc.

Answer 6

I hate seen this. A bone stock 450 and the 700 race, the 450 got it off the line and held a lead for a good stretch down the beach but the 700 caught it on the top end. The 450 beat the 700 on every trail all day.
