Nighty Posted March 25, 2004 Report Posted March 25, 2004 One of the riding mates decided to trade in his slighty modded 660R for a used stock 450. I cant wait to see how those things perform. Now i can finally see with my own eyes. i think: video time shooting some footage of that thing in action. Quote
frocashmoney24 Posted March 25, 2004 Report Posted March 25, 2004 how much did he have to pay along with the raptor, if he traded straight up he got a hell of a good deal, do a riding report! Quote
MILO Posted March 26, 2004 Report Posted March 26, 2004 i'm curious as to why the used stock 450 was available to begin with. hmmm.... are we talkin at a dealer, or a personal trade? Quote
Nighty Posted March 26, 2004 Author Report Posted March 26, 2004 450 picked up last night. His raptor was in complete NEW state, new finders new tires, frame not even scratched. The 450 looks a bit wurse. it had abeen rolled, fenders have white stripes on them one of the fenders has a cracked mount point. Yep this thing is comming straight from the dealer its already the 3th second hand the dealer sells. Not sure howmuch he needed to pay extra, We took the 450 for a short spin last night and from what i have seen, felt and heared i can say: It idle's a bit rough, uneven. but once you get going its extreemly fast beeing stock. verry short geared, and really trothle responsive. Suspension and handleing is just awesome fabulous and superb. never felt anything handle like it. It has the power of a banshee, handles like a f1 car, and is lightweight like a blaster so you can throw it around like nothing else. More to come, when we line that thing up with the raptors. Quote
MILO Posted March 27, 2004 Report Posted March 27, 2004 if he had to pay extra on top of a prime rappy, i think he should have kept looking, by the sound of the condition of the 450. man, these things must be sweet if such trades are going on. either that, or the hype about them is just overwhelmingly brainwashing people.

Wassup350 Posted March 27, 2004 Report Posted March 27, 2004 That is awsome, my friend might be getting a brand new Raptor lol. I want to ride a new fourstroke so bad The fastest one i rode was the 400ex and that didnt impress me too much. Quote
Nighty Posted April 4, 2004 Author Report Posted April 4, 2004 Well since my banshee decided to give up on me after beating the hell out of the yfz450, i had some time to shoot some footage of the YFZ450 in action with a custom fabbed exhaust. links to movies will be up shortly. the movies are encoded using divx 4 so you will need a divx player to view the movies. pictures will be posted in the image section and you will probably see me around in the repairs section soon Quote
