Why is it so hard to believe a 450r beat a YFZ? I've raced a few and we almost always trade wins. When I've ridden the YFZ I thought it was alot faster but it's the quickness I think that fools alot of people into thinking it's faster then what it is. Don't get me wrong, the YFZ is fast but the TRX ain't no slouch either.
I never said that the honda wasnt faster, I just dont see it beating out by 6 lengths in that length run... the top speed would have gained maybe a half to one length tops in that short of a run... Still, I think the guy on the YFZ wasnt pushing it hard, I never saw his front end lift up at all and I cant keep the front end down on mine when on the street, even with a rolling start...

I agree, at that distance I would think they would probably tie. It usually takes me till about late 2nd early 3rd to catch up and then it's anybodys race from there. The YFZ didn't look like it was being pushed too hard from the looks of it like you said.

Two questions.....

Why do a rolling start?

Why not try doing it in flat ground instead of downhill to get a fair comparison?


Great vids though!
