2006 YZF450 vs TRX450r....
With both having upgrades for 2006, which one will be the best in your opinion? Who do you have your money on????????? Myself, I think it's going to be closer this year than before........ A tie is what I predict. Thought about getting one of them, but an 05 R1 is coming home for Christmas.....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

2006 YZF450 vs TRX450r....
You dog, I would love to have an R1. Almost bought one this summer, but decided it wasn't worth my marriage [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img].
I would say the YFZ will still be a tad faster, even with the upgrades being more substantial on the 450R. I sure haven't been too impressed with the 450R so far. Just last saturday I got to whoop a few of them hillshooting at the dunes. I gave a 450R with the HRC cam, airbox, and exhaust mods a 200 foot head start, and still caught and passed him like he was sitting still 3/4 of the way up Sand Mountain. Of course I was on my KTM, so that was like cheating, LOL.

desertviper; I was holding out for the 2006 models & I wasn't impressed, so when I go home in Dec. I should find an 05 for a good deal. If not, then either the Honda CBR1000r or the ZX-10. Yeah, that was unfair with that KTM. In my area, alot of people haven't heard of KTM. My experience comparing my raptor to a TRX450r with Curtis Sparks full system & HRC kit was I got my a** handed to me. That 450r rocked!!!! No sh**. If I was on the KTM, well you know better than I do. I guess that's why my Raptor is for cruising & not racing.

the yfz 450 is still way better then the trx450, the only thing that the trx wins on is the price

I have owned both a yfz and a 450r and stock to stock they are back and forth as far as speed. If you want an all out MX quad get the yfz if you want a trail, XC quad get the 450r.

I agree barry1me read DesertVipers post wrong and is shouting over nothing. But your comment "You honda lovers kill me" makes me laugh. I could say the same thing about "you Honda haters". I believe that is a bit hypocritical.
Not to long ago you were over in another thread bashing on Honda MX bikes when they are some of the best bikes.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] I don't believe you ever responded to me over there, I wrote out a long post in response to your bashing. Check that out before you start a rant on dirtbikes over here.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

As far as me being a honda Lover....read my signature I have 04 yz450f, and I previously had a 04 yfz450. I dont have that much bias, but I do feel that my 450r is a much more quality machine then my yfz was.
