Just wondering if anyone is seeing many YFZ's at their local MX tracks and if so how are they doing compared to the other 400's and the R's?

 

I seen a few out at the last Southwick Ma race, they seem to hold there own........
My buddy has one (see it in my gallery)and he just ran a hare scramble up in Maine last week and did good there....took home 3rd in 4stroke C

 

Ya it all most seems like more show up each race. As for doing better or worse it depends on rider skill. I have seen the 450 stomp over every thing, and I have seen it come in dead last.

 

Haven't raced one on the MX track yet but I was amazed at how well they did at the 500' grass drags last weekend. With a less torquey motor I thought they would be hard to get a good jump out of the hole with, but those things get up and GO. 350lbs probably helps too, plus they had brand new stock tires. Normally my 400EX can get a good jump on 250Rs or Banshees off the line (they pass me within 200-400 feet though depending on their starts) and I was expecting the 450s to have traction issues as well, but they really jump off the line and the banshees / Rs needed a very good start to beat them in 500', where the 450s (there were 4 of them racing) all seemed to get very consistant fast runs. And these were stock! Very impressive.

I have some video stills I will put up on my site this week from the races, and probably a video later.

I race my dads at jolly rogers sunday and took first place in the first moto! had a bad start 2nd moto and took 6th. but they rip! and handle great.

 

I have been racing my yfz since july and have realy liked it so far. Pulled lots of holeshots and won some overalls and some moto's. I have beadlocks, renthal bars, kill switch, ac nerfs,bafflr gone and sir box lid removed and thats all i i realy like it.

 

There's a pic of one on My Page racing MX at a local arena cross. It is behind me only because the rider wasn't quite as good, the quad is fast as hell.
