Don't be dissing Yamaha, they also had the balls to step it up! IMO, there both great companies.

spincr4hire, I don't see what wrong with the tires? They're good overall tires!

I think your a little quick to assume its going to dominate.
Right now it hasnt beat chit yet so the YFZ is still the best performer untill proven otherwise.

well, between Ohtsu (400ex style), and the Dunlops, I'd rather have the Ohtsu's...doesn't really matter though, they'd be off there before it even hit the dirt.

You know, looking at the TRX from the fron it looks a little like that martian in the bugs bunny toons when he is angry. J/K

The 450R doesn't have resovoirs?:grr: Maybe they will be an add on? So far, I am not as impressed as I was when Yamaha released YFZ.

Maybe I'm looking at the wrong pictures but I don't see any. Do you have a picture of it with piggybacks?

those dunlop tires work really well in the sand. Overall, I think it was a good move.

They are modified Outsu's tread pattern similar the ones Team Honda used to Kick Butt with the Rincon at Baja. The winning Rincon went the whole race with no tire failure.

Seatec,

That's what I told my guy at the Honda Dealer today. Hopefully Honda will come out with a big 650 to match the Martians monster. I hope that it is not purple however.

i dont see why ne 1 would talk smack on a stock bike and stock shox...i mean most people they buy aftermarket shox, a-arms, tires, wheels, n stuff like that....i mean honestly who really leaves a bike stock....
