Have you seen the new '04 YZ450F? this baby looks sweet and they say it smokes the Raptor. For an up-close look, see me in Glamis over Halloween. Peace

I saw the Yamaha at the local dealer and it looks sweet. I have my eyes on the new Honda CRF450. If I have it by then, we'll see which one is a better machine for your bucks!!

Although I am not a Yamaha fan, I have to admit it though, the new YZF is awesome!!

I love Hondas and even better my life connection with parts.

See ya at Glamis.

anyone got any specs on the new yamaha? i hear its pretty trick. also that there isnt much to do cuz how trick it already somes. i talked to a sales manager and he said he sat on it and it feels like a track bike. let me know if anyone has specs or drop a link to check out the specs online.

Click or copy this link:
http://www.yamaha-motor.com/products/uniti...v&cid=1&mid=323

Once in that page, click on the Performance and Innovation section on the left hand side of the page. All specs are there.

Did I miss something here? I didn't see the new hondas? How much are they going for? Seems like the honda crowd has been waiting forever, so its here, this isn't some "pipe" dream, like the ones they have every year?

Whoa!! What dealer has them in stock already? :shock:

i know a dealer that is suppose to be gettin 6 in by the end of the month. something like 4 blue and 2 red and white. looks like honda is gettin their red and white colors stolen from them since they arent using them very much these days. :wink: i still think honda needs to wake up and smell the exhaust fumes.

Hondas won't be out until September or October. But they are releasing their quad version of the CRF450.

They have been behind, but they are making a come back.

Specs? I don't know yet.

Not that I don't beleive you, but can you confirm this info, they have pulled this stuff more times than I can count. And if its the real deal I now more than one person who WILL hold off on buying the new Yami, and I'm one of those folks, I'll go get my deposit back today!

Not only is it a CRF 450 Honda will have an aluminum frame!

Dude, Believe me! I almost bought a cannondale because Honda nor Yamaha were showing any signs of life.

I spoke to my budd at Honda and asked me not to buy either for they are coming up with this quad.

Hondas have been good to me, and I love them. Most important, my budd works in the parts deparment so I save a lot on part too.

I trust that person, and I will take a chance and wait.
Besides, if worst comes to worst and Honda does not have a quad by then, the chances of getting a Yamaha for a better price around that time are much better.

Ride Honda!! Most reliable and EFFICIENT bikes.

man :!: this might be the one i need look's awsom :shock:

if your talkin about the new yamaha i think its gonna retail at about the same as the raptor if not a few bucks more. i havent heard anything about a new honda and im happy with my toy im just impressed with what yamaha came out with. its the first affordable semi-trick quad that i know of. and i say "AFFORDABLE".

Same stuff, wait for something that might never happen? Well it might snow in hell. Honda has let its quad sport folks down time and time again. Any real news about a Honda? Like a picture or secret squirrel story? Maybe a inside scoop? Last year was a joke all this hype and BAM another 4x4, what a joke. And speaking of jokes, are they still producing that air cooled barely 400 girls quad and calling it a sport? What sport is that?

I was at C.T. racing yesterday talking with allen and next week he's going to be riding the new Yami. He plans on retiring off it he says.

I ask him about the new honda and he is going to be riding one of them soon as well.

Looks like he has an in with the manufacturers for aftermarket stuff. :wink:

Seems all it's gonna need is some re-tuning. Swap for YZ cams, and open that baby up! :burn:

Thats kinda the info I was hoping for, but when is this magical Honda coming out 2009?

Whenever they get more of these 400EX's sold. :bandit:

Honda 450F???? Can't be true. Haven't heard a word of it. But the YFZ450, one awesome rig. Get to demo one at a race track Aug. 9th. Looking forward to posting the update. Peace

Take a look at Wyo's site for some YZF450 v. Raptor video action!

No bog in the 450. It looks like it wanted more hill to play on. Wow. Fast looking machine. Peace

DAMN YAMI LOVERS!!!!!!!!

If you are out of state 6900 out the door no sales tax. Found two places for that price. Sat on one last night felt good looks like a good quad.

Doc

I just found out about the YFZ450. I was looking on traderonline for a friend of mine and saw a pic. I was like "what the h*ll is that?" So I went to yamaha.com and WOW :shock: Momma likes!!!! Too bad no $$$ :.(.

A YZF450?

Just wondering how many will be in the dunes this season.

I've already seen a couple up here in Oregon.
