450R vs YFZ450
I was wondering if anyone could give me a comparison base on the first hand experience. Good or bad.

Re: 450R vs YFZ450
Maybe little bro will poke his head in here...he had a worked '89 Honda 250R with a 350cc powervalve engine...so he walked all the 450s. He raced against them all, so he should have an idea of which was more competitive...

Dad rode had a Quadzilla for a while...he & a buddy here in town [buddy had a worked Banshee] used to battle all the time...think I had an '88 250R at the time, one of the best quads EVER. I went to mx bikes for a while, then eventually ended up with a 400ex with a 440 kit...was a GREAT woods quad, but it sat quite a bit so I sold it...only quad we have now is an ancient 220 Bayou!  Joe: what's your plan with the 450...cc, mx, rodeo, or just play time?

Re: 450R vs YFZ450
Just looking for something new. I've had a banshee for 10years and been through the normal blow it up and sink more money in it. A couple of my buddies have 450R's and seen a yfz for sale and wuz wondering how they match up. I like the honda its quick out of the hole and has great handling. I have also ridden the 660 raptor, not real excited about it. It seems way to top heavy and not quick enough response.
Al why did he put a big bore kit in? Alot of the ones I see for sale either have rebuilt motors or new ones. Just curious if these are known to have issues with motors.  Still on the fence. Joe

Re: 450R vs YFZ450
I'm a idiot rider and bought the Hona450 when they first came out..Too fast for me. Bought the electric start Honda 250 and it was a great bike but I seldom rode so the battery would be dead...Now all I have is Mini Trails or junk.....
