I rode both 450's today. Finally got to ride the new R. A friend of mine brought his Yamaha and I rode the Honda on a 4 mile loop, then we switched. I liked both quads. They both had good power, the Honda had better low end power and a smoother delivery, where the Yami's power didn't smooth out until you was in it. We didn't drag them. I did like the honda suspension over the Yami. The Yamaha does sit lower and is a couple of inches longer. It was easier to lug the honda around in lower gears. After riding both I think that these two quads are very close to each other in the woods. The Honda started on the first kick, but I saw that the electric start would be nice.
Can't wait to see both in a cross country race. The Florida GNCC should be a good one.
