Default Kory Ellis test ride of YFZ450!!!

Check it out over at a t v S c e n e. It was a cool write up!


"How was the transmission?
Great. It was really smooth and the gear ratios were perfect in my opinion.


What did you think of the suspension and handling?
The stock suspension worked excellent! It soaked up bumps that I thought would hurt when I landed like true race suspension should. It handled perfectly.

How does it compare to the Suzuki Z400 you've been racing?
We have a lot of modification on my Suzuki. It's got the full Alba 440 kit on it and then some. After we put the pipe on the Yamaha, the motors were really close in comparison. As far as the handling characteristics go, the Yamaha's rear shock and linkage works far better. The Yamaha has better shocks and a lower center of gravity so it turns and handles much better as well. Put a pipe on the stock Suzuki and one on the stock Yamaha and there is no comparison, the Yamaha pulls way harder and is definitely faster."
