Well honda hasn't stepped up with a new quad yet, and my 400ex isn't cutting it anymore, and it's gonna cost too much to make it competitive, so i'm thinking about selling it and getting a yfz450.

good choice.....the yammy does have a great engine...and radiator...and an ok frame

but then theres the aluminum upper a arms( wasnt the raptor lesson enough?)

the cast material subframe...can you say crack a mundo

a pretty wild lookin bowed swing arm with a worse design for tightening the chain then ever before?

oh well....theres always aftermarket:confused2

Several of us dont have the money for 2 highly modded Rs. :eek:


The Yammie is awesome looking. I have heard no flaws on it so far and at 350 lbs with a 439cc engine...its one mean sumbich. :eek2:

Check out YFZCentral.com to gather some more info on the machine. :D

I don't think its worth buying a first year Yamaha, but then again some times you get lucky, my friend has an 01 yamaha, with no problems yet... (Crazy, then again all the parts are probaly all modded...). Good luck though.

CBW, another R! Your almost as bad as 2R's! :p

They were released (public info) 3 weeks ago and the first ones are already in garages across the nation. A couple of our members even have one. :D
Mod...well, Ive known the Boss since he started ZCent a year ago and have helped him out whenever I could and he needed another hand. Ends up I caught a spammer on the YFZ fourm and warned the mods as fast as I could and he let me on as a moderator.
Ive got my own button now like Rico, but I hope I do not have to use it. :)
