Wow the 450R wins the Baja1000 and suddenly all the 450R bashing stops? anyone else surprized yammi owners arent talking smack anymore? Not trying to start a flame war or nothing but yamaha owners were the group bashing the most along with Suzuki, Bomb and Polaris didnt really say anything.

 

Yeah, for the people out there that said the TRX wasn't gonna be very good stock, read it and weep. I believe there were only light modifications on the TRX, right? I also heard from a few Yamahammers that the suspension on the red machine was bad...........weren't they using stock suspension too?

 

yup only mods im aware of were bigger tank and bigger seat, wereas the yfz's most likely had the gyt-r kit or something along those lines...

 

You guys are right, except I noticed that the 450r also had a performance exhaust. I still consider that a light mod. I also heard it had gearing change, but this is expected for any of the atvs racing. I don't blame the Yami guys for bragging about the YFZ, it is a sweet machine. But most of them saying that the 450R was no good, well they're just stupid. Only reason they said such harsh things about the trx450r was because they were afraid thery would be getting smoked by them.

 

Hmmmm....this kind of sounds like bashing to me....not that I care.

The reason you heard more from the Yamaha guys was because they have the closest competitor...you know...the YFZ.

As for me, I would love to own either machine. How can anyone bash on either of those machines? They are both amazing!
