this , the dominance continues with this inferior, less powerful Honda TRX450R quad!! Pretty sad when a quad with less power kicks the crap out of everything else!!!

14mins,
Why is Farr's bike running 3 seconds faster than even Sparks prepped YFZ's? To top it all off, they race on glorified TT tracks where HP is king. Lucy, you got some splainin' to do!
Who cares what is faster stock. We may find the YFZ to be a better racer out of the box. Wouldn't suprise me. It also wouldn't suprise me if the R becomes the platform of choice even though it is the slowest of the choices stock. Same exact thing happened with the 250R. Those who forget the mistakes of the past are doomed to repeat them.
Plus Honda has earned their perceived quality. Take a trip to Glamis and for every Tecate, Tri-Z and QuadRacer there are 1000 ATC/TRX 250R's. Hell there are as many 250R's as there are Banshees. They are just better products. You can also see it in the resale of recent year mx bikes. Honda's always bring more used than the other brands do regardless of who won that years shootout. Check your local Cycle Trader for verification.
