I just got the brand new dirtwheels and they have tested the 450R and to be honest i cannot find one bad thing they said.... They did not metion the YZF450 alot , but when they did it was just things that the YZF didn't have and the 450R did. They will probally really analize it when the 450R Vs. YZF450 issue comes out.... GOing to be a good match.. But from the sounds of it Dirtwheels is in-love with this quad.

It would be if the magazines could tell the truth

I know the review in ATVSport is from Lake Whitney from like November is Dirt Wheels review also from Lake Whitney. There is nothing new in these reviews that we haven't seen on here before. Magazines don't even have any info on Baja 1000 yet.

Finally got to read the Dirt Wheels Review of the 450R. Great read and had nothing but good to say about the Honda. They stopped just short of saying that the YFZ was Second to the 450R.

"The 450R stops on a dime and gives 9 cents change back."

"The new TRX450R has probably the best brakes we have ever found on a production ATV."

"The TRX is easier to ride than the YFZ."

"The new TRX handles more like the old 250R than a 400EX."

"We could not bottom the suspension no matter what we threw at it."

The good comments go on and on! Reading the article really got me pumped.

The only negative thing they said was that they felt first gear was a little tall for woods riding.
