I have rode a stock 2006 YFZ 450 and it is fast, light, and has a low center of gravity. I like that. I am trying to decide between buying a 2006 or newer YFZ 450 or a brand new KFX 450. I havent rode the KFX yet. I like everything I have heard about it. I like that it has reverse and is F.I. I need to know from someone that has rode a 2006 or newer stock YFZ 450 and also a new KFX 450. I want to know which one has a higher compression ratio? Which one has more horse power Stock? which one has a higher top speed which one accelerates quicker. I know the YFZ is lighter by 14 pounds. How do the power bands compare. I would mostly be trail riding and going to some of the dunes here in Oregon. I also looked at the rapter 700 because it is F.I and has reverse to. I am 5'5 and 160 pounds. Which one would suite me best? Lots of questions. Thanks for your opinions.
