Yamaha has a bad history of problems with there 1st year models. I can think of the 1st yr of the Banshee with the J-arms just to name one and then the Raptor and the YZF400 with the clutch problems. Like someone said if you can wait a few weeks you might get a better price when the Honda does come out if it does. Right now some of the Yamaha dealers are getting over MSRP just like they did when the Raptor came out. Not that the Honda dealers wouldn't do the same and jack up the price. But you might be able to deal better with 2 good quads to choise from. Just an idea.

yeah- there are already some YFZ's out there used for sale for people who got killed jumping the gun now cant make their payments.

(i just spoke with a guy who wanted 7400 for his used- he paid 7600- CRAZY!) he's screwed.

As well the YFZ's are now in stock most places and prices have shot down in the past month.

If I get a new yfz I will be paying way under 7000 grand. I already Plan on wait to see what honda has. I looking for soming new and don't want to wait. I hate stock anything, so I want to get somthing new and start to mod it. I hope the new honda has an aluminum frame. another reason I want to wait it i'm hoping some of my aftermarket parts will fit on it from the 400ex.

Do you like working on quads or riding them?
A-arm bushings are the same as the raptor.
