I think he is correct about getting more solid info before we get too concerned about which is better, I personally dont think they are going to put the 450 in a warrior that would be just too stuipid. If it is taken this long and if it is going to have to compete with the Z and Cannondale it beter be a new quad..

What are you people smoking? did you even read the Dirtweels issue? That Warrior 450 was something that someone made from a regular warrior, they just put alot of junk on it. However, they did mention in atv rider that yamaha was rumored to be putting a wr 450 engine with electric start and reverse!

Yamaha better come up with a full new suspension or they will never compete with the honda.

Im pretty sure they are going to be basing the honda on a 400ex frame. But i have also heard rumors of aluminum frame also. Either way yamaha is notorious for having the crappiest suspension out of all brands right now. I hated my raptor. Compared to the ex its like night and day.
