:mad: Have you guys seen the December issue yet? It shows a 450r and yammi 450 on the cover and says "The Ultimate Tech Comparison!". I saw that and grabbed it up and bought it, thinking it had a actual shootout of the two. Nope, just another comparison of specs that we already know! I guess their little ploy worked, at least on me, after all, I bought it!

That was one of the most pathetic comparisons that I have ever read in a quad magazine. They don't even have the correct carburator listed in the specs. 4-Wheel ATV Actions lists the carb as a 42mm Keihin FCR without a throttle position sensor. Lately the information coming out of the ATV mags has been so bad. Maybe they should log on to the internet for a fact check before the magazine goes out to print.

there is nothing better to do than go to your local 24 hour walmart and read magazines at one in the morning. hell i dont even buy magazines any more. i cant find the new dirt wheels at my walmart. i am scarced that they stopped carring it.

Ya I picked it up tonight. Started glanceing through it as I was walking through Fred Meyers and notice it said TECH and realized it wasn't a shoot out. Oh well I bought it anyway. I will have a first hand shoot out here in about 2 weeks! :D
