As far as ground clearance goes.....here is a pic of Bill Ballance on his YFZ450....if you know what you are doing you don't need 11 inches of clearance.....In my four years of riding quads I have never had a problem with clearance on my YFZ450 or Raptors

Yeah, just before the motor blows up.....

it is pointless to argue.
just to let you know, author.
all these people are one sided honda or yamaha fans.
if you want a great trailbike. go for the outlaw.
and if any other atv. go for a hond 400ex or 450r.
thats all.

Wow, sweet picture. Guess the solid rear axle would be better around corners and lighter as well.

Your right trailblazer. Guess we all have our own opinions. As stated earlier, it's pretty hard to go wrong with any of the top end quads we have been referring to.

One thing about the fuel injected units is that you can buy a programer to control the air/fuel mixture. I installed a Doback controller on my Rincon which allowed me to program 5 different parameters. Great when your riding at 8,000 foot elevations like I do in the mountains, then come back down to the coast....

I'm sure that HMF will also come out with a nice pipe/ moffler combo with a Doback controller for the TRX 700. I put this combo on my Rincon 680 along with a free flow air filter, and it really worked well.

you also have to keep in mind not all dyno's will produce the same #'s.. a stock bike on this dyno will read 46 and on that dyno it might read 49.. there are alot of different things that affect dyno readings.. altitude, humidity, temp, etc...

and also keep in mind that most bikes run lean from the factory to meet emmisions.. so aftermarket exhaust, filter, jets/controller will make a huge difference in any bike.. more air in and more air out + more gas = more power... also if you don't know if your bike is running lean or rich and easy way to tell is by a plug check.. throw a new plug in and run it for about 30-40 mins pull the plug when still hot and see what color it is around the bottom.. white= lean, black = rich, paper bag brown = right on the money...
