can someone tell me what this is?

A guy offered me this on a trade for my 2001 rancher 350 and all hes told me about it so far is that its a 2001 yamaha 450.but im pretty sure that yamaha 450s didnt come out till 2004 so im pretty confused.any help is great.

to me it looks like a 400ex frame that has a most likely a yamaha YZ 450F motor thats my guess

[Dobber]

thats kind of what i was thinkin but i wasnt sure.thanks..anybody else have any idea?

that would be my guess too...i know that after the 400ex's came out, there were a lot of people replacing the motors with the yami 426...

[katch26]

its some kind of yammi db hybrid......

I would trade for it as long as it runs good. That is definitely a Yamaha/400ex hybrid, which is actually quite popular. Basically 450 power in a 400ex chassis. Whether it's actually a 450 or a 426 is anyone's guess, but they are virtually identical.

Plus it appears to have a lot of aftermarket on it. A-arms, shocks front and rear, swingarm, axle, plastics, etc.

So if she runs good and rolls, I would do the trade:)

it looks like it has been sitting for sometime. and why is the powdercoat missing on the front end. check to see if the vin is still there. right behind the bumper. but it does look nice.

alright thanks everyone..how do you guys think this would compare to my 440ex?

If he has a full exhaust on it, which I'm assuming he does, it will be just as fast or probably faster then your 440ex. It's technically a YFZ450. Nevermind if he has any other mods in the engine.

[Dobber]

alright.ill try to get a full list of mods from him

sounds like a good deal as long as it runs good I would do it.
