What kind of performance can be expected from this machine? What else is comparable to it?

 

Know one knows for sure but based on the weight and engine combo it should not be a dog by any means. Hopefully someone will test it and do an article real soon.

 

My best uneducated guess is that it will most closely compare to the Polaris Predator, stock for stock. I'd guess the Predator will have better steering, but I'm thinking the 450 will edge it out in most other categories. Of the two, I'd still lean towards the Predator, but only because I don't race and can use regular unleaded in it (the Honda, with it's high compression, will want premium gas).

 

Pechmial,

#1 its a Yamaha not a Honda
#2 MY best educated guess is its going to eat the Predators in all categories!!!
