Who has ridden a piped YFZ? Can you please describe in detail what the power feels like compared to stock? Can you compare it to any other quads you may have expierience on? Does the powerband actually feel "2stroke like"? I have ridden a polaris Predator (my first time on a 4stroke) and was not impressed. It felt like a boat anchor compared to my Banshee..I am completely open minded to liking a 4stroke, but my expierience left me very dissapointed..Is the YZ450F powered YFZ in a class of its own? Thanks,Frank.

 

Take everything you ever knew about 4 strokes and throw it out the window when you ride the YFZ-450.
I have a piped one, and it's a awesome feeling. I don't care if I ever ride a 2 stroke again. And all I have
rode for the last 15 years was 2 strokes. I will miss the sound of a 2 stroke, but that's it. Although the
sound of this 450 is growing on me.....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Ride one before you knock it. That's all I can say.

 

I will agree with 250r4life, the new yfz is totally awesome. Mine is not piped yet but I got an email today and my sparks pipe is being shipped on thursday or friday. My unlce got beat pretty bad in the sand on his banshee by a yfz with the spark arrestor removed. My unlces banshee has had the head milled, toomey t-6 pipes, and aftermarket air filter. He was so impressed he said this is the last year for the banshee. They rev awesome and have much better low end than the 2-strokes.
