i will ride which ever one is the best. If its the zuki, honda, yamaha.....I dont care. Whatever costs the least to get it up to a certain state of tune. Right now, to me the yamaha is. Maybe the zuki will change that though. IMO the honda comes up short in many ways! And that also the opinion of every shootout too!

Shootout: YFZ450 TRX450R
I started this thread, and lost track because I got busy with work and the winter rebuild of my quad. So I revisited it today to see what was so interesting that it is still going a week later.
And now I see that it has simply become a shouting match for some people with too much time on their hands. The thread was intended to discuss the journalistic values of a Dirtwheels article. And that was lost by the second page of posts.
I should have known better that this thread would invite the old "my quad is better than your quad" posts.

Dude, what are you talking about? How does that statement show that I dont know what I am talking about. Perhaps you should read it more closely, you would realize the joke is on your a$$. And as far as how many posts it takes, well, as many as I feel to get my point across to different folks. Who made you "god of the forum".
I am going to agree with dsnut, as preference does not drive "best", as performance does. Your totally going to dismiss that every shootout up to today as said that the yfz outperforms the trx on the track? DUDE, open your eyes and stop denying it! That many different pro riders riding the damn things, and they all must be wrong! And You are right? ....ok?
My only point was that it will take more money to get the trx to perform equally or better to the yfz if you start modding them equally. Your starting at a disadvantage. It may be close, but the yfz clearly has it!
Now if you personally can ride a trx better the the yfz, then obviously YOU should go with the trx. As for me, and every other pro test rider that has done the shootouts, were going to go with the yfz......see ya out on the track!
I am not into spending more money than I have to, to get to a certain place in performance, which I feel I would have to do if I got a trx!

This statement right there lets everyone know that you don't know what your talking about. If you have to ask what that means, then you prove my point.
And how many posts do you need to try and validate a point?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]
Originally posted by: 135boom I guess in your book, its totally a waste of time to shootout machines against eachother, to find out which one is "best"????

Can we ignore the toddlers that want to argue and just move on? The moderators will 86 them soon enough...
Something I'd like to throw into the discussion is the lower otd cost of the TRX. I can get it for $6500 and the YFZ is about $7200 - here in AZ at least. Hmmm, that's $700 to throw at the TRX before even starting. I could add the HRC kit and already have 50hp before spending the same total $ on the YFZ. With the YFZ, it needs a slip-on and cam mod (freebie) just to keep up in a straight line. If you put shoxs on both, it still means the Honda is a bit less $ to get to a serious machine. Without shocks, the YFZ will handle rough stuff better. Hmmm. Then you throw in the Suzuki - which will cost more, but you're farther down the mod path.
And I thought I had my mind made up...

When you step up to race level both the trx and the yfz will need arms and shocks Also the motors will need the same parts to fast on both But the honda will have smoother power and will easier to ride So just wait untill this season is over and add up overall wins And then we can say who's the best Also last year honda has more wins than yamaha look up GNCC,TT.MX,and desert And start counting wins
