That all depends on what you are going to be doing...if you are going to do alot of mx get the yfz, for everything else get the trx... The yfz has to rev a little to get the power going where the trx power just rolls on from everywhere. And it also comes down to rider preference. I liked the honda, I thought if felt better and roder better plus it's made by big red

if you plan to race get the YFZ..if you plan to just ride then get the TRX

i havent heard anything common yet. A few have cracked frames and subframes, and i heard about a few loosing thier heat shields on the exhast due to the bolts vibrating loose. But other than that, they seem to be pretty well built so far. But only time will tell.

my frame bent but i think it was my fault...anyways, i think my hona dealership is going to help me out with buying a new one

ok im gonna make this short choose what ever you want ive rode both yfz and trx if you want to ride trails get either trx or yfz if you want to race get either trx or yfz but if you want to win get the trx what would you rather have a bike that takes along time to get its topspeed up and when you do you have to slow down for turns and stuff or you can get the trx that revs quick

trx450r is better
