I know you Yamaha guys will turn up your noses without a second thought, but you have to admit, they've made some worthwhile adjustments, especially powerwise.

The 450r got a lot of improvements but it still looks stupid. Im sure it wont effect yfz sales.

Honda finally made the machine they were too chicken $hit to release back in 04. Maybe if they weren't so concerned with making the bike engine and carb setup "safe" for atv use they wouldn't be the #2 race bike.

Different engines can handle different compressions on the same gasoline. The yfz is 11.9:1 and runs 91 octane premium while a 12:1 raptor needs 96-100 octane.
