Anyone know? You would think they would be the leader due to size and resources? But all i see is backward facing motors with pushrods, air cooled 400 ex's and a unicorn crf 450 that revs like a disel tractor.

the crf 450 (the bike) does not rev like a tractor. its motor is just as strong as the yams but smoother.

14mins- Well Ive been gone for a while and when I come back what do I still see, U bashing honda again. What do have against honda, got friends w/ them that perform better than ur quad. Why dont u try helping someone instead of trying to sit high on your horse.

I like both yammi and honda, can't beat em. But since when does a crf rev like a tractor, considering it beat the yammis every race last season. It doesnt hit as hard but it is much smoother, what good is power if u can't use it.

I think Honda puts too much of their attention on their cars and motorcycles and kind of put quads on the back burner.
