The only time i hear that dirtwheels is biased and gets paid to say stuff is when they say something good about the 450R. You shouldnt say anything until you ride both and dont own either one.

Who the heck cares if it has more horsepower. Torque is what gets you to that top speed. I mean coem on, you guys allways disagree with dirtwheels about the 450r test and you say they lie, but when one good thing comes out about yfz, you say they are the best mag.

Horsepower is what you talk, torque is what you feel!

everyone has a better bike out there, it just depends who has the bigger wallet. And mine is no where near big [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img][/quote]

On a scale of 1-10 I rate my Raptor at a 4.5. That's why I never glot about what I got because there will always be someone out there to show you up.

If torque gets you to top speed better than horsepower how come all quads aren't diesel powered? Horsepower will always reign supreme in drag racing providing that there is good traction available.

dont no, ask the company. I was just saying most of the yamaha guys say that dirtwheels review of the 450r is crap and stuff adn they say the mag sucks and then on good thing about the yfz and wow. Besides on a track torque is more important most of the time.

YFZ may have a 470cc kit but the Honda can be bored to a full 500cc

roostthrower- You should have payed attention in science class. Torque is what gets the mass moving.

All you yami people (i own both honda and yami so im not being bias) said that dirt wheels SUCKED right up untill it siad the YFZ was a little bit better for pure racing out of the box, and that sport mag was the best and now its worse because it said honda was little beter.. Thats kinda f-ed up.

These new 450 models are great for the sport.

I personally like both of these quads.

My favorite by a slight margin is the Yamaha..........Electric start and a lower seat height being the splitter.

I can't wait for the new Suzuki that Gust has been talking about everywhere. And then you have the Dinli450......AND Kawasaki is working on it's own 450 MX dirtbike seperate from Suzuki......wonder what they will do???

Great times indeed!!
