Just in case you were wondering...

If you owned that issue of dirtwheels you would know that whole article is B/S... Both of those bike were reworked, they even say it in the article (motor work). Notice how at the bottom it says STOCK YFZ, and STOCK TRX... ;) Is 0.6 MPH really that big of a difference now, come on.
That does it, I'm selling my YFZ and buying a Honda. I didnt know that they were .6 mph faster.

Yeah, but why would you say it's BS?
I mean I think the Yamaha is a great ride too, but I always hear people arguing over which one is faster.
I thought you'd might like to see it in print.
Don't get offended.
im with chillinthemost. byebye yfz. hey rico, im comin to get the 450R tomorrow.
The problem for you Honda guys is that we can accelerate to our slow azz top speed and then stop and take a break for you to catch up while you guys are still waiting to reach you superior top speed. Git it RAG.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
anything in dirtwheels is BS.lol they even told you how to do the cam mod wrong.lol
that sucks. i did it the way they said. ::)
j/k. i bet a few people did though. i would be pissed if i had.
well they didnt mess up that bad. there are three timing marks on the flywheel. 1-1 1 you are supposed to use the last 1 they said to use the 1st one. not that big of a deal just timing will be off a tad.
o. so nothing catastrophic?
not realy...i just dont like dirtwheels.lol but i still get teh mag. i just dont think its as good as atvsport or QUAD
quad is the best ive seen.

LOL! Yeah, no, the Yamaha's are fast bikes, just look at this years points standings. I think they actually give out ribbons for 7th and 9th place. 2 in the top 10, they must really haul!
Pro Class Standings - After Round 14 of 14
1 Joe Byrd - Hon 308
2 Doug J. Gust - Suz 302
3 Keith Little - Hon 226
4 Jeremiah Jones - Suz 222
5 John Natalie - Hon 212
6 Dustin Wimmer - Hon 203
7 Patrick Brown - Yam 153
8 John Haavisto - Hon 150
9 Travis Spader - Yam 140
10 Harold Goodman - Hon138
I don't know, I think Honda occupying 6 of the top 10 spots in the most competitive class in MX is pretty good for a slow low end. Maybe you Yamaha riders shouldn't wait TOO long for us to catch up!
I hope the new Kawi beats them all.
LOL..have you seen the new green yet?
It's got an aluminum frame.
Looks better suited for a trail bike.
I don't think it's suited for your "style of riding" ya crazy bastid.
You'd tweak that frame in a heart beat.
You guys are all slow :P
The real champ is the LT-R! :P

By the way Mr. LT-R.......Um how many recalls does Suzsucki have for it? I no for sure that they have ALOT......Frame,tranny whinning,wont start up if you stall it if ridden hard,etc...the list goes on & on & on & on....

[attachment deleted by admin]
I love the good natured ribbin' on this site.
HONDA, baby, read 'em and weep!
Fox, I'll give YOU a good deal on my 450r, just because I'd like to give you the opprotunity to know what it's like to finish FIRST for once.
what kind of good deal? let me know. please.
I love my Honda ,statistics dont lie but then again riders have something to do with whos in the winner circle.I cant believe everything in dirt wheels ,one artical says yfz the best next says 450r the next says the lt450 .I think its who ever cuts them the biggest check before the next artical comes out !LOL!!
i have a question?
who cares!!!!!!!!!!!!
Assuming you're talking top speed. If you go by the Dirtwheels test at the top of this page, the 450r is .6 mph faster stock, 1.5 mph built. So either stock or built, the 450r is faster. In a race, yea it matters who the rider is. But thats of no concern to find out which bike is faster. :K
Yeah, but which of them breaks down less. Which is a stronger bike?
Oh wait, that's Honda too!
Bad example.
