so because there red they started right up? or maybe its the fact they were store outside of the weather? hmm....

i agree with the originator here.

i started out on yamaha 80 & champ 100, then moved to honda 250X....i loved that thing. then moved to the warrior. and now to the raptor.

my love will forever be a bright blue yamaha, but definately the mistress will have to go to honda.

congrats, if you want something that does something after it starts, buy a yamaha [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img].

but overall i havent been impressed with hondas performance. when i had my kodiak 400, my friends foreman450es couldnt keep up with me. the only reliability issues it had were the ES screwin up, found it to be a loose wire, no big deal.

Man come on. Who in the he!! is going to be going 170 +? I don't care what the top speed is. Go to the drag strip and see what the stock bikes are running, then go ride a few of em and see how they feel, and then you can come bash one or the other.

i got 2 banshee's, so i tend to favor yamaha, but i'd take the 450R over the yfz.

almost 20 years later, honda's 250R is still the measuring stick for all sport quads

Moto GP Results
Last I looked Yamaha won the championship this year. All the GP results show is that they had a very good rider and couldn't even keep him, it is not the bike but the rider. Honda dosen't dominate as much as they used to and they are allways playing catch-up to everyone. Their bikes are not anymore reliable as any of the other manufacturers, they are not on the top of technology as they used to be.
