If we’re talking apples to apples with the YFZ-R SE and the 700R SE, it’s only a 200-dollar difference in favor of the Raptor. We recently spent a few days with Yamaha in the dunes to really compare these two machines and try to help our readers make that ultra-important decision: 450-class leader or big bore? Which is the better all-around sport ATV for dunes, trails and tracks, the Yamaha Raptor 700R or the Yamaha YFZ450R? To find out, we compared the Special Edition of each machine at Glamis and the surrounding desert. While Suzuki and Kawasaki are out, and Honda is still pushing the same exact bike it brought us in 2006, Yamaha has continued to invest in improvements year after year. These ATVs have proven themselves in nearly every discipline of ATV riding and racing, but if your thing happens to be the sand, the Yamahas are even more of a no-brainer. The fuel-injected YFZ450R is pretty much race-ready off the showroom floor, and the EFI-fed Raptor 700 is the only other current big-bore sport quad worth mentioning. When it comes to the current state of sport-quad supremacy, Yamaha just might have the market on lockdown.
