People can talk all they want about the yfz450, but noone can say nothing about the 450r because all people are is hearing stuff the 450r might be better then the yfz we'll never know until there is more then one 450r on the track!

This sounds right to me..also its preference all you read on here is the yfz is better for this and that. Well nobody has the R yet. I dont believe that some of you rode it. Go back to the yamaha forum if your gonna continue to come here and bash the new R. This is a honda forum. Honda forever!
I don't know this guy, but I tend to beleive what he is saying if he has ridden the real CRF and not one of the CRF's stuffed into a 400ex frame or Lonestar frame. My bro owns a YFZ since July 2nd and I just don't see the Honda beating it in ANY category.. The YFZ is an impressive machine.. On paper the Honda comes up short compared to the YFZ on everything and it has to mean something.:rolleyes: taller seat height, shorter legs, less compression, lack of titanium inside, FCR carb. Just my unbiased opinion since I own neither..Quote:

Give me the YFZ on the holeshot ANYDAY, on ANY TRACK. The only thing close is my 250R, but actually the YFZ is easier to ride. It has nothng to do with brand loyalty, Cains skills, (he's a very good rider) or anything other than the fact that Yamaha built an excellent quad. BTW, Doug Gust has an excellent chance to repeat his title. I would almost bet on it. He can ride a stock setup like nobody I've ever seen.
Talk to you later!
Read through the posts more carefully. I have put a lot of laps on both of these quads in stock and modified form. If you don't believe me, look on the inside cover of Dirt Wheels. My name has been there since the early 90's, which is when I started doing articles and photos for them, and this has nothing to do with a person liking YFZs, LTZs, or TRXs. I've owned Suzukis, Yamahas, and I have 3 Hondas right now, but none of that changes the facts about this new Honda, which is really what this column is about. Facts and information
Cool, just wanted to make sure if it was a Hybrid or the real CRF quad.. Sounds like the Honda fans are gonna being seeing the rear of the Yamaha.. Doesn't matter to me either way, cause I don't ride red, white, or blue. I ride all three.....USA
JA,
Have you ridden a trx with aftermarket suspension and aftermarket aarms, axle, etc.
In stock form the trx may not equal the yfz but with full race prepped trx, is a whole different bike.
This case holds water until we can get opinions from individuals with full tricked out race trx's.
agreed.......
to me..... I dont really care about how it compares to the yfz in stock form because my trx will be in no way close to a stock bike.
Damn...how many times does he need to re-explain his view on this,Norrisboat..whats the first couple things he says in his last post...again:rolleyes: ,we're all Honda fans,If it was Tim Farr himself giving you his opinion on he matter...would you still doubt him too?:confused: its his views and opinions between both bikes..remember ;) I dont think he comes here for a pissin' match or to be haggled,hes a well qualified person who's honest opinion I value:D
It would take more than a marical for that to happen:DQuote:
