well this isn't a very good place to get a nonbiased opinon. Most everyone is going to say 450R as you are on a Honda site. Also the 450R isn't out yet so we have nothing to base it off of other than the mag articles and paper testing. I guess I'll be the first to say....

TRX450R!

How many times do you have to bend the steering stem and Frame mount before you know something is wrong with the design.

Honda All the way Buddy!

The other dumb thread you started in the Open Forum was closed down so I'll take a shot here.

I think one will be better than the other. Now this could change depending on which one does worse than the other. On the other hand one being better does not mean it's worse than the other while one being worse does not mean it's worse to be better than the other. Catch my drift? Good!

See, I see some unseemly things happening for someone or something, in some time. If this happens and the moons align juuuuuuuuuuuuust right we could see a snowfall of epic proportions which, as we all know, is a good thing indeed.

So, please don't forget this is a lame thread and all thats going to happen here is closure of this thread. Other than that I have no further questions!

:blah:

hey i do like the 450r better than any other 4 wheeler if there wasn't a 450r i would go for the Z400. and if the Z400 wasn't out. i would go for the yfz450.

so i ain't counting no 4 wheelers out.

i am just taking a survey for a project. i ust this would be a good place to get some answers. and i am also getting answers from other people not just the out people of here. but thanks for telling what you said.

bye

Im not bashing or anything. I am a honda guy personally. I had a down payment on the honda till i see some specs i was not happy with so i got the YFZ and could not be happier. I know if the YFZ was last in that pic you Honda die harders would be bashing.so i thought id give a laugh.:devil:

What I find funny is that that YFZ in that pic is not that far ahead of the Z and the Honda.

A great rider on a 400EX can beat a good rider on a YFZ.

It's all good people.

Just ride.

Oh yeah, my favorite right this second is the YFZ. The Honda is not out yet. Then it might be a different story because we'll have each. :blah: I'll let ya know 450rboy.

This type of thread is always going to turn into a flame fest.

And anyone saying the TRX450R is a better quad RIGHT NOW, is a biased idiot. Because THEY AREN"T OUT YET. There is not one single person on this forum who has ridden a TRX450R, at least not one person who is not a top level pro rider. Seeing that you ask whick one is better and only one is out, that means the YFZ is the chioce.

Now, if a few weeks , months, years whenever Honda FINALLY releases the 450r, we can all find out for ourselves which one is better. Also, what is better for one person, does not mean it will be better for another.

I think the guy who posted:

Power: YFZ
Comfort: TRX

Has in pretty close. I will go one step further:

Race course: YFZ
Everyday/trail: TRX

BUT, All of this is just opinion.

Make your own mind up and never take someone else's word for anything, unfortunatley, there are way too many brand biased people on these forums.

YFZ ALL THE WAY!!!

You obviously don't know much of what you are talking. It may sit lower. More travel doesn't mean better susupension and it is a VERY small margin of travel between the two. More compression doesn't mean anything either in itself. It take a lot more than compression to make an engine run and the TRX is supposed to have as much or more power with less compression. That means it has more room to make more when modded. DOHC doesn't mean much either. If the valves are opening and closeing at the same time with a DOHC engine as an exact same SOHC engine the SOHC engine will probably rev a bit quicker due to less rotateing mass. This is one of the reasons Honda went with the Unicam design. It isn't inferior by any means to a DOHC engine. I haven't heard on the TRX but I'm about 90% sure the CRF has Titainium intake valves and stainless exhaust valves. This is because Titanium absorbes heat to well and won't let it go. So they don't use them on the exhaust side for reliability reasons. If you are so concerned aobut electric start then you must not really want a race bike. Electric start is for wusses. I get sick of hearing everyone (mostly the YFZ guys) complaining about no electric start. WAAAAA. So I guess when it comes down to it all you got is a lower bike. So I guess just because it is lower it is better? I don't think so. Bottom line until it comes out NOONE will know wich one is better and I bet they are really close. It will probably come down to brand loyalty or color preference. But you don't see Honda makeing a blue one to try to steal sales like Yami makes a red and white one. Anyway I'm off to go ride my 400 until my 450 gets here.

i think the weak spot on the yfz is:: everything ,, now dont that sound cool.... no so guys quit talking about the trx 450r and not one person will say anything about the yfz..cause no one cares its the guys with the yfz who are the ones that start talking abouit the ride and why they chose it and the damn honda isnt even out yet,, ur opinion means nothing cause u alreasy have a yfz,, it dont matter.. go to bluetraxx and talk about ur ride and talk about what ur going to do,, when the big red machine comes out an try to figure out someway to make it competetive..hahhahah:blah:
