Stinco Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 so i took my bike out today for the first time this year, went out to the local sand pit, and there was a ton of people there. So anyways, one of them was on he new yamy 450, and let me try it out, my oppinion.. very nice bike. It rides a million times better then a stock banshee, (obviously gas shox are the way to go) and pulls in sand like my bike on pavement.. first few gears, i couldnt believe how hard it pulled, but it falls on its face in fth gear, it definately could use some more top end.. definately not faster than a stock banshee top end, cant wait to see the aftermarket goodies for it.. the only downfall, the seat is crazy hard.. which is understandable since it is a race ready bike, but should come with the option of a softer seat.. you know to keep the gf happy!!!

frocashmoney24 Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 sweet, i went to the track yesterday, and i saw 3 of the yammy's and my first honda 450, they were just dominating the practice, my friends got over 8000 in his 400 and couldent clear a 100 footer, in 4th pinned, the 450's were all doing it in ease and just pulling away, there a great machine(not as good as the shee of coarse) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinco Posted April 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 good stuff to hear, anyone else have any input on the yzf450??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcmoose Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 i ride with a buck of spoiled bitches, and they all got the new honda and yamaha...they are both sick bikes, but i really perfer the honda. like Stinco said the yamaha lacked fifth gear pull, the honda did to but not as noticeable as the f. But dam they do pull hard. I couldn't believe it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
