Not all honda guys do it...but most of the guys that are honda and post in the yamaha forum do...hondaracer305 doesn't...but he is cool and I respect his opinions because he doesn't bash everything else like most honda riders do to Yamaha.

Everyone knows, by now, that Yamaha has the better 450. I'd be pissed if I had the Honda, but hey, some guys just keep buying Honda's, no matter whether they are good, or not. At least they have an excuse when they get waxed by the tuning fork guys. There are also guys who will only buy Yamaha's.......it's just good for themm right now, they seem to be on top.

Sorry if I hit a nerve, that wasn't the intention. Glad you like your quad, have a little cheese.

"does ne one else look up more then 1 stat"

Dude, your the one with the one stat. where are the other Honda wins? the YFZ is dominating GNC and the GNCC as well as local MX tracks across the US. What the hell are you talking about?

Yes, the Yamaha has been out longer. but if the Honda was the better racer. the pros would have dropped there YFZ's in a second and switched to the Honda. you see that happening though. infact, i know of a few guys who have done the opposite already. dropped a full race ready TRX for a YFZ. and i'm talking fully tricked machines (gibson a-arms, steering stems, Elka suspension...the works).

all i have to say is...go to a GNCC. see how many honda's are sitting on the line...kicking. don't give me..."it's the rider". thats horse S. these are pro's...and it would'nt be a problem if they were'nt trying to cut the weight to be competitive with the YFZ. What other reason would you put a kick on a stock quad. because people like it? stop it.

By the way...Honda engineers backed the Baja TRX. making one of a kind a skids and who knows what else. The Yamaha did not get Factory support.

It's pretty obvious the Yamaha is the quad to buy, unless you only have a Honda dealer nearby. If I were buying a sport quad it would be the YFZ, no brainer.
