Cypress, CA (4/16/2009) -
Yamaha Motor Corp., U.S.A., has received "2009
Sport Quad of the Year" honors from the
editors of ATV Sport magazine for the all-new
YFZ450R.
ATV Sport, which gave its inaugural Sport Quad
of the Year award to the
original YFZ450 six years ago, states that the
new YFZ450R "... more than meets our criteria
for Sport Quad of the Year: market appeal, competition
potential and innovation. The YFZ450R is a game
changer, Yamaha's most remarkable creation to
date and a true engineering wonder."
"The all-new YFZ450R was built to be the
world's best all-around high
performance racing and recreational sport ATV,
and this award from ATV Sport magazine confirms
we hit our mark," said Steve Nessl, Yamaha's
ATV/SxS marketing manager. "Congratulations
to the Yamaha engineers and designers who raised
the bar again with the all-new YFZ450R and continue
to revolutionize the sport ATV world."
The YFZ450R comes loaded with state-of-the-art
suspension, fuel injection, a no-weld aluminum
frame and an all-new power packed engine set
in a motocross-wide chassis. It was field tested
by the staff at ATV Sport for ergonomics, engine,
chassis, suspension and maintenance; the all-new
YFZ450R passed each test surpassing any other
sport model currently on the market.
HISTORY OF DOMINANCE
Yamaha has a well deserved reputation of building
the industry's best sport ATVs. The original
YFZ450 was announced in 2003 as the first race-ready
450-class ATV with leading technology and more
pure sport performance than any machine ever
built at that time. Since then Yamaha has dominated
the field across the board with the best selling
big bore sport ATV in the Raptor 700R* down
to the best selling 250-class machine with the
Raptor 250. But the YFZ is still the pinnacle
of ATV performance, and even with a constantly
growing number of competitors
entering the 450 market, the YFZ has always
been the top seller in its class*.
