Default YFZ450 and 450R Regrets....

My 250R is about to go in the paper. I read alot of good things about the 450's, does anyone have anything bad to say? Anyone regret getting one?

Thanks in advance.

the bad things on the YFZ are the stock shocks are too stiff for dune riding and the swingarm is TOO short if you put 21's on the back, the front end just wont stay down after doing the typical mods. Other than that you cant beat it for an out of the box really fast thumpo. The 450r suffers from a wimpy carb, a really low rev limit and not enough port work in the head. Other than that it is a great dune bike and it rides like a cadillac. If you trail ride I have no experience riding either in the trails [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
