Im looking to buy a used 450 and was wondering if a honda or yamaha would be best im looking to spend 3500 and no more if i could get one for 3000 that would be great. Let me know what you guys think i should consider buying and the pros of cons of each one. Thanks

 

That may be hard finding one for that that hasnt been rode very hard or doesnt need anything. And i would say YFZ. Plus since you posted it in the yamaha section thats probably what you will get.

 

I have owned them both and the YFZ is much faster than the honda, but I would go with the honda because they will be a little cheaper, and I am telling you the truth when i say the honda will outlast the YFZ by a longshot, i deal with these bikes every day, and I know you cant beat a honda as far as reliabilty.

 

yfz

but they say you have more maintaince on the 450R. and the yfz is faster

 

someone actually told me the other way around that YFZ needs more maint.

 

make me wonder which one is actually true

 

if your looking for the fastest the yfz is thr right choice. I have had mine for 3 years and needed nothing but oil changes.
