whats the best yamaha atv?

if you ride tight trails were reverse gear would help go with the 700,other wise if you ride open trails and places go with the yfz450
 
yfz have reverse i really dont care if it does im used to not having it.where i ride its mostly wide open few trails sand want to stick with yamaha for sure this sites awesome more info tomorrow on if ill be getting the blasty back or not.
 
I'd get another Blaster or a Banshee. I personally wouldn't buy a 450 because they cost too much to rebuild. The 700's are decent though, too heavy for my likings though.
 
Raptors are overrated... No offense to anybody that has one... Plus open up your options a bit... Why stay with just yamaha? Check out some suzukis, and hondas too. Look at some dirtbikes too!
 
checked out yfz 450s thats what ill probably go with raptors i checked theres specs close to yfz but more pricey.raptor 350 was nice but theyre air cooled.im gonna make payments so yeah. couldnt find new banshees that would be the sh*t.dirtbikes are out of the question gotta have something to ride throught the snow
 
i noticed u said ktm the standard ktm 450sx is 11,500 the xc is 10,699 or u can go with the 505sx for 11,800 i personally like the can am ds450 for 7,499 and those come in an mx version for 8,949 or a xc version for 8,749 and they both have all the goodies u would buy to put in the yfz like like piggyback shocks kyb hpg c40 aluminum piggyback rear shock itp gncc holeshot front and rears and they have nerfs and the xc has barkbusters and a full skid also honda came out with a trx700xx for 7,999 with a wet weight of 505the wet weight of the yfz is 404 so 101 pounds more for 686cc compared to 449. thens theres the new kawasaki kfx450r weighning in @ 395.7 wet weight i personally think they r some bad ass looking quads and they start out at 7,549 or the monster energy version for 7,849.then u got ur ltr450 very nice price 7,699 or the special edition at 7,799 with a wet weight of 414.5. i almost forgot about the ktm 525xc 10,999

THE CANAM IS f*ckING NASTY! My friends uncle has one... Its got kayaba shocks I think? My friend says he'll be in third, or fourth, and if you just blip the throttle real quick the wheels will come right up.
