decisions, decisions, which 450?
I'm planing on getting a new quad sometime around spring, I do all kinds of riding, recreation, jumping, some tricks, hill climbing, mudding, some light racing, but mostly trail riding though.
Here's my options, the honda or yamaha 450, brand doesn't mean to much to me even though I have owned mostly honda since I was 5 yrs old (20 now). I was also thinking of waiting for the honda 650 to come out because that probably will be more dedicated to the trails.
Tell me what you guys think, that might help me lean to one side or the other!

I think those are both good choices, but I would wait a while to see what kind of problems arise as these are both new machines. If you do a lot of trail riding, I would suggest looking at the Raptor, or waiting for Honda's new 650(?) due to lots of torque and REVERSE[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img].
You'll find a lot of guys who will tell you that these quads are so light to lift and turn around, but from my experience, I'd rather have reverse.
Just my .02.

I have put in a few hours on the YFZ, and frankly I can't decide what all the fuss is about. The bike is nice in some ways, but it ain't no magic carpet! It is worth waiting to see what the Honda 450 is all about. Is it worth waiting for the 650??? That is a decision I will have to make too. I ride desert, and the 650 would be a better engine for me than the 450's.
