Battle of the 700's! Honda TRX 700xx vs Yamaha Raptor 700r!

The video you've all been waiting for! This is the results of our machines battling it out and doesn't reflect all 700's so no hate please! The Honda was having some issues so that might reflect the results but even so the Raptor 700r is pushing more Hp with the setup it's currently running. This video was just for fun and hope you all enjoyed.

Nice vid boys ! I like both I’ve owned an 09 xx with the big 3 and it was an epic trail quad , but for drags and the dunes the raptor is a winner

Honda has that ticking sound in every machine they make and I've owned several Honda's and Yamaha's in my day and the Raptor is just the faster quad all around.

Yeah I definitely knew that would be the outcome! I raced a Honda 700 several times tonight with my Z400 and iced em off lol and I've discovered Those Raptors with the big 3 get on down the track for sure! 💪 I wanna try some on the road tho cuz on the drag strip I do alot of spinning since I'm so light lol Good runs fam!!

[@suckafatone]

The stock sway bar on the 700xx is crap. I put a beefy on mine and it turned similar to a solid axle. The xx shines in the rough stuff tho

[@justinmochi7323]

Bro that poor xx. Thing needs to be rebuilt asap! I've raced raptors in my xx and edged them out consistently.

Yes on the rebuild, no on the faster than the raptor in any scenario lol

@nexxusty no lol. I almost raced a 660 but it's counter shaft seal went. I believe they've all been first Gen 700s. Idk how I would've faired against a modern one. But now my motor is built so who cares

Timing chain probably

[@tannerreinig946]

Just a Honda thing 😂

[@colonialroofingofnorthcaro441]

Doesn't seem like a fair shootout I mean obviously they're not equal and the only time we have a shootout is when you have something equal other than that you could time bracket it meaning find out what the difference is on your time and your speed to a certain point and started that time so that they're equally going like three bike links for the 700xx or whatever it would equal up to and then see where it pulls to cuz obviously the raptors more souped up than the 700 is it's only got a pipe on it and of course it's got a little tuner but that ain't going to make up horsepower not like that anyway

Drag races are cool and all but those are pure sport ATVs, how often do you see a pure flat straight line on a trail, I wanna see how they fair in a handling battle

[@Wild1KY]

Fun Fact, a stretched Raptor (6in) was the ONLY Thing that could make it up a long, HillClimb. Attempted by ALL others. It has the most bottom end torque of any Quad I have ridden.

[@kbsvlog1442]

Nahh the 700xx will slaughter the raptor in sorry but the raptor isn't close I love my new raptor but comparing both bikes there's just no way the raptor is beating the XX I am most likely going to so a race with my 2 very soon for the channel just need another rider for my bike 😂 but love the video and love you guys 👌🏾🔥🔥 keep them coming

[@lifeatv]

Thanks for watching man. This was a race with our machines, in this case the raptor is more supped up then our 700xx. I’m sure if our 700xx had some more goodies on it, it would be more of a fair fight. At this point I’m happy with it, it really is the perfect trail machine and has plenty of power for my use. I will monitor your channel and look for the vid 👀

Completely agree, the 700xx was released at a poor time. Hopefully one day Honda considers bringing sport quads back 🤟

[@ModernMANIAWarfare]

@@lifeatv I do kind of doubt it since sport quads are dying. Side by sides and utility quads are getting more hp and reaching top speeds around 80 mph. Plus, parents want their kids in a roll cage because of safety concerns. I still enjoy sport quads being a present owner of them.

[@lifeatv]

I believe now that more and more people are tuning into Channels such as Pete, sabo, ononewheel and so many more that the popularity in sport quads keeps growing and growing every day! My hope is that Honda sees this trend and decides to come back because there is a market and an efi trx I believe would do amazing in sales

those two quads are built for different types of riding. i have a trx700xx and i have out ran raptors before. i have also lost to raptors before. one machine has solid rear axle and one has independent suspension. that in and of itself set the two machines apart. honda though has always built a better machine. i mean yeah the banshee is awesome but the 250r is a king of all kings. even the 250r threewheeler. then you also have the 200x and 350x. anyway you can tell who i love. lol. great video though but id like to see a video with the same machines going up steep rocky rough terrain at the hatfield mccoy trails. ive taken mine there and the 700xx destroys the raptor in that terrain. the raptor is to be on a nice level flat track where you can do a pretty slide around the corners. oh and these machines are also 9 years apart and one is more tuned than the other,

Yeah nah. Unless you're doing some crazy weird off camber rock crawling type stuff, the raptor will smoke the 700 in 80% of most people's applications. Saying Honda has always built a better machine is just not true. If they built better machines than the raptor and yfz450, they'd still be making them ;)
