So I went to go look at some new bikes the other day and finally sat on the 450r. It was awesome but it feels way different then my 400ex. It feels like your just sitting on top of it were the 400ex kinda give the feel like your in it. I don't know maybe its how the seat is shaped. Then I sat on the '05 z400 and that really feels nice and the made some big improvments to it. So then i went over to the yamaha dealer and sat on the yfz450 and that felt really hard and the bars are all lowon it. I felt really small. and I'm only 5'11

I really just trail ride and once and a while go to the track. But the trails i ride and muddy at times rocky and tree's down sometimes. your regular east coast New york new Jersey trails. What you be the better bike for the trail The z400 450r or the yfz450???:confused:

if your just for trails and all go with the Z, its got ES and revese, if you spend alot of time at the track go with the YFZ, there great for MX.;)

i came from the 40ex to a 450r & I am 5"11 weighing 145 lbs. Now, the 450r does feel like your on top of it a little bit more then the 400ex but you can adjust some ride height with the front shocks and it makes it a little better. I wouldnt get the YFZ for trails (they are more MX friendly) but if I was you I would test ride the z400 & try to ride a 450r. I got the 450 instead of the z400 b/c I wanted the biggest & baddest honda out and I dont need reverse or Estart (2 less things to go wrong). Good luck

get the 05 400 cause of the reverse, or get the z has reverse and liquid, whichever
