When people say which one is faster looking at a stragiht away drag is not the way to do it. I have raced many quads on my 250r against people who had overall faster quads but on the track is a completley different race(usually we were all about the same experince). So i will wait and see on the track which one is faster, but if i had to bet i would say the 250r. The new 450, as much R & D honda puts in there are always kinks the first year of the production of a quad. Give it a few years then the 450 and honda will be back on top.

I just bought a 450r and was out at the desert (glamis) and raced a lot of the yfzs and everyone is saying that the yfzs aare faster, but not when i was racing them. I beat everyone everytime. Not by much. WHo ever got the best start kept the lead the whole time and neither one gained or lost anything. Where is everyone reading that the yfz is faster???

I never bealive what they have to say they have their minds set on who is the winner before they even test them. They said that the looks on the 450R were horabile(just like my spelling) and that is one of the things that made it a not so great machine, i mean come on looks are a little but aint going to srit me away from buying one.

Considering how long the two bikes have been out, how can one say what a properly built 450 is/will be? I mean taking a 250 to a 310 didn't happen over night. Take a 450 to a 500 then see how it does, that all I'm trying to say.
