Everybody has one! It used to be a lot of custom quads and such but now everything is a mostly stock YFZ. Personally I think part of the fun in owning a quad is Pride of ownership. You show up to the track or play area to show off your quad. With the YFZ its almost like having a dirt bike, There everywhere! Dont get me wrong they are a great quad and if I was going to buy a new one that would be it, But it takes some of the fun out of the custom hybrids and such.

Like a dirtbike? Not all dirtbikes are the same, just like not all quads are the same. There are more models of (racing) dirtbikes than there are of (racing) quads..

I got a yfz and it don't look like anything out there. Some people just don't have any problem with riding something that looks the same as a half-million other quads out there. All it take is a couple days and about $200 to powdercoat a frame and already it will look like a totally different quad. I also feel that part of the fun is having something different and having the ability to show it off!

This conversation could have taken place in 1999...only everyone would be talking about their 400EXs!:p

Understand what I'm trying to say? It was the latest and the greatest back then so everyone wanted one.

That's why I went with a new TRX...I just wanted to have a top of the line quad...and now i do!:devil:

There's only 1 yfz around here...I don't see a huge abundance of them:huh

The only racingy type quads around here are...lets see...a pred, 400ex, raptor, the yfz, then every other person owns a utility:huh :o

But the thing about the people that own the pred, and the raptor...their the type that go down the main road doin wheelies (goin to the liquor store) w/ no helmets...their idiots. Both dropped outa school (their 18 & 19) and they both bought their quads from a place where u get stolen quads...:huh Oh and there was another pred...but the guy got caught doin chit and he's in jail right now...

:( Thats one reason I dont wanna sell my crf450...I go to the indoor races in the winter and there would be some totally tricked out yfzs but I mean there was just so many of them ppl wouldnt really go look at them like they did the hybird quads that where there..I donno I like the thought of knowing there isnt gonna be 13 of the same quads as I have on the line..it leaves a little mystery with me 2 cause ill never be able to use the excuse that they got the same bike and theres has more on it..get wut im saying? haha.....

Most of the racers I know and race with choose to run the YFZ because the bike is incredible right off the showroom floor...I would rather run a competitive bike that possibly looks like someone elses than run a bike that looks original but wont keep you in the hunt for 1st place.....there is a reason alot of people are running them.....right now, nothing else is better..have a nice day.........:)

That's what I love about my cannondale too. I really miss being able to walk into a dealership though and get anything I need. I'm running the whole GNCC circuit and sometimes I have trouble finding what I need in stock from race to race. I always find it, but you have to be willing to look. I broke my nerfs a week ago and I can't find any propeg nerfs in stock for a cdale they are all on backorder. My dad was wanting me to switch to a YFZ, but I just can't after seeing how many there are at races. Plus I know my motor is faster than an equally built YFZ and the power is more useable too. I go to the races and only see less than 10 cdales and to me that's what I like. Plus I already have a nicely set up dale so I just don't want to switch. But the reason everyone has one is they are the best right now. (Well the best currently being made.:o )

I would like to see Honda, suzuki,kawi, step up. I know I will get crap for this but honda isnt in the same league as the YFZ for MX. If you got the big 4 to all make a real performance quad like the yfz that would be cool. Right now at the nationals almost every quad on the gate is a YFZ.

From what I hear, some GNC pro racers are on the Hon. now when they was riding the Yam. eariler this year. Also I have not seen anyone switch frome the Hon. to the Yam. It is always the other way around. :eek2:

I hate to say it too......Troy tried one on the MX this wk end and hes a BIG Honda fan....He liked the YFZ better stock for stock.....If widened and a few mods were made,he said he thought he would like it,but it felt tippy to him and not as powered up,yet had good power also the YFZ just felt stronger.......This is just his opinion on it,but thats the beauty of all these quads...We now have many choices........:D

well..if you're buying whatever it takes to win..buy a yosh/suzuki z400...that seems to be the fastest machine in the gnc pro class.. :o

dont get me wrong im not saying anything bad about the suzukis but noone knows how much money they dump in dougs bike to keep him competive with the yfzs and the hondas...I dont think its dougs bike, I think its DOUG himself...the guy has been around racing all his life and knows alot about it and thats plays a big factor in his wins.. Just my thoughts

Yea I did. Doug is actually who I bought the machine from and a good guy. He said he was needing a set too, but X-Factor has had them on backorder. Jeff can't find any, MAZ doesn't have any, and K&K is out of stock. Luckily I found a set for sale today on cannondaleriders. Still after Rausch Creek I'm leaking a lot of oil through a small hole just under the impeller. Just wondering if you have heard of this or know what it could be. We have the motor dropped and going to check around on the situation. I also just found out my rear Elka has blew so I have to get that fixed. So I now need to fix my motor, get nerfs, and repair the shock so I'm just glad we have a month break before the Patriot. I'm finding everything I need just have to put a little more effort into searching for it.
