Oh great. Why dont you do a search. I have a very unbiased review of the quads in the honda forum. My riding buddy bought one when it first came out. You can check my album for proof. I dont feel like typing it all over again so i will just summarize.

1. The honda is more comfortable and reminds me of sitting on my step moms z400.
2. The yfz feels way more torquey.
3. Both are extremely close in speed with the yfz just a little ahead on a 300' drag.
4. hill climbing i found the yfz easier because the front end of the trx wanted to come up. (may be just because of my riding style)
5. Both quads are awesome. Both should be enjoyed and not fought over. Who really cares which one is faster in the trails and which one is faster on the track.


Oh yeah the honda is one of the easiest quads EVER to kick over. I think a grasshopper could probably start it if it jumped high enough.

I got to ride both this weekend and I say it all depends on the rider. There both awesome (riding) bikes, fast, handle well, I guess it depends on weather you like blue or red. If it were me, I say the Honda anyday. Yamaha's customer servise stinks. and if any part of the YZF is like the Raptor's starter clutch get out ur wallet cause Yamaha will tell u to pound sand.

I finally raced a TRX today and OBLITERATED it. It ran about as good as that 400EX with a pipe and a K&N.
