UH-OH!!!!!!!!! My blue glasses showed me that he thought the SEAT was more UNCOMFORTABLE than the HONDA!! Well, I think I'm gonna sell ALL My bikes, MY grizz, and my YFZ and buy the TRX since the SEAT is more comfortable! My "UNCOMFORTABLE SEAT" never caused me to lose any races on my MX bikes!!! If the seat is all you have to complain about then definately find something better for me to acknowledge anything!! Speaking of that, what you need to do is ACKNOWLEDGE the fact that in stock form the YAMAHA is faster and better suited for MX racing than ist he TRX!!

 

Why?

Because you have 5 Yamahas in your sig and they're the best?

or by making comments like the one below to show how objective you are?

Tell me exactly why *you* believe the YFZ is better suited to MX (since I assume you've ridden both extensively & can provide a better explanation than just because you say it's so or because you read about it in a magazine) - and even if so, what that matters to me since that's practically the only form of racing I do not participate in (although I do use MX as a practice tool at times) & was not even remotely part of the subject matter being discussed here?

 

It will be a never ending argument!! The way I see it Honda has always been the best at handling and have won ALOT of races in its career!! Now that another company steps up and builds something better its hard to deal with!! Yamaha owners have always sat back while Honda bathed in its glorified race machines! I think its wonderful that Yamaha now has the chance to be happy about their new machine!! Its been a long time coming!! Honda will surely build even better products in the future!! At least now Yamaha see's the benefits of actually putting some R&D into a better machine!! Yamaha has always had awesome dirtbikes! Maybe they arent focusing so much ONLY on that area alone! Honda owners are so used to having the best! Share the glory boys!!! I think Yamaha deserves it!

Can I add a !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

 

May I please ask why that gets your panties in a wad????

 

I agree that it may be hard for some Honda guys to face it if Yamaha is better, but you need to keep in mind that us Honda guys haven't really had anything to look forward to in the quad market for a long long while. The 250r's are anything but stock now-a-days. The fact that Yamaha fans presume that Honda fans are on some sort of a high horse is what gets irritating. Yamaha fans for the most part seem to be ready to jump all over the trx at the slightest little thing, and forget the negatives the Yamaha's have. I give Yamaha credit that they never backed down from building atv's, but I don't see the point in constantly bashing other manufactures because of a misdirected jealousy.

 

OK, how about this, no offense, but I am FINALLY glad that the ALL-MIGHTY "LEGENDARY"(well that is a good statement, cuz its no longer the best at MX)250r is finally dethroned by BOTH the 450R YFZ! How's that something we can agree on?

 

A stock 250r on an mx track is in fact dethroned in my opinion, not that there have been many around anyways. I can't speak for the TRX450R, but I can for the yfz. I have a 87 Honda 250r, CT racing motor with 89 cuts and ported polished, all that jaz, to a 265. I have plus 2" all around on holeshot beadlocks all around, stock gussetted frame, works triple rate shocks around, and paul turner pipe, and the usual racing requirements. (it's a nice bike). A bud of mine has a yfz with a FMF pipe, we are even in skill and neither can pull away from the other on the track. If I'm on his bike and he's on mine, I kill him. Not that the YFZ and the Honda 450r are better,but it's clear that the hay day for the 250r on a motocross track is over (largely in part of the ATVA, Don't forget Jeremia Jones was king on an LRD 250r last year). It's time to move on, I love my 250r, but lets move forward.

I was just giving you crap, sorry, I was just trying to be funny, its hard to convey that sometines on the internet.

 

I just read the race reports at atv scene about the first GNC race. "Farr triggered first, but at the uphill straight, it was kory on the Yamaha." all I could say is that i am proud to be a YFZ owner and it was worth buying the YFZ. it was intended for strict competition on the mx track, and it prooved it. read for your selves. oh, by the way, did I mentioned its reliable too.
