Mostly dunes and trails. Everyone keeps saying get the 450r for trails but why? I like to go fast and have power. I really do not care about comfort. It never comes to mind when i ride. What are your thoughts on why the 450r is good for trails?

 

bump

 

Also I am not a tall person. I have sat on both so I don't need to worry about being cramped on a yfz. Will that accommodate me more? Also why do people think the shocks are to stiff? Can't you adjust them?

 

If a YFZ is what you want then thats what I would get if I was you.

When it comes to quads there is way to much personal preference to get excited about what someone else thinks.

90% of the time I ride is with a guy with a 06 YFZ 450 and we ride the same areas. He prefers his and I prefer mine. So who is right at which is better for our riding? We both are because we have the quads we want.

On paper the 450r probally is a better trail quad but not by enough that if you want a YFZ you shouldnt buy one.

Buy what you want just make a informed decision and look at everything.

Oh and we ride 90% trails. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

I have been looking at everything. This is such a hard decision. Plus I hear the 08 models might have digital fuel injection. If so i will wait for that. Anybody here of it yet?

 

Talked to my dealer about it and Yamaha has not told him that fuel injection is comming for the YFZ . I was reading Quad magazine and they had an article about it but the mag said that its just rummors. I really like my new YFZ picked it up yesterday and got to go for a nice long ride..[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

yfz are pretty good quads but just to give u another option have u looked into the 700 raptor they are good quads to there about equal with the yfz and they have fuel injection but thats just another option u could look into

 

If trailriding is what you do, why wouldn't you rather get a kfx450 with reverse, fuel injection, and electric start? Unless for some reason you will only ride a yamaha because you're a loyal yamaha enthusiast.

 

kas dont want to get enything started but the 700 has all that and at silver lake i was at the parts store across the street and the guy we were parked next to have a 450 and he said he couldnt get out of 3 gear with out it bogging but who nos maybe he just bought it and its not broke it idk.......just throwing that out there

 

not starting anything, just wondering why you would choose that over a kfx 450, not the 700. The yfz450 is setup more for only MX without having electric start, fuel injection and reverse, that's a big thing if you're going to be using it for fun.
