Yamaha YZ450F reviews

I bought this bike 2 months ago. When I first got on this bike, I started it up and it had a very powerful sound. Then I was ready to top it out but when I got in second gear I was ready to slow down. One twitch of the throttle, and I almost flipped off. On the track you feel like you own it. On the trails you still feel like you own it. I think this bike is not for beginners, but for experienced riders only. Show less

This bike is a beast, shift 4 gears and hold on the bike takes off quick and only gets faster when the powerband kicks in! I was amazed at the speed it has with stock. I can't wait for the exhaust and extras! Show less

I just love the way I feel on the 450f it is so powerful, yet I feel very comfortable on it. I would have to say that this is the best bike I have ever owned or ridden. Show less

I race flattrack and this bike is the fastest one out there. The bike is capable of doing 145mph on a mile track. Show less

I just bought this bike yesterday. This bike feels so light, I felt like I was riding a 125 again, but with all of the power imaginable! The throttle response is instant from idle. This bike is not for a beginner!!!!!! The suspension is smooth out of the crate. Yamaha knows how to build a bike. All of my friends are drooling over it. One ride, and they were hooked! Show less

I had a 01 YZ426 and sold it and got a new YZ450, man what a diffrence. The 450 has a ton more power and is a lot lighter than my 426 was. My 450 just flat out rips, it might be the best bike I have ever had. Show less

This bike is the fastest stock motocross bike I have ever owned. This is the first four stroke I have owned it starts good and was simple to make the adjustment from my previous bike. Just put gas in this thing and head to the front of the pack. Show less

This bike has a ton of power! It rides great but the power band is very narrow. It either is on or it is off. It is rather difficult to ride unless you are going full speed and have a ton of experience. I have riden and raced MX for 25 years and this is the only bike Ive ever been scared on. Show less

This bike has a motor that can't be beat. Rev to the moon or ride a gear high and just cruise. You'll be going faster then anyone else. But as they say the throttle works both ways. It has monster power but its smooth as silk. The suspension is a little rough in stock trim. Fine for motocross but rough for trails or woods rides. The four-speed transmission is more then enough for most rides the only time fifth gear is missed is in flat-out top speed straights. The only things I can fault with it are the seat for being hard and thin and the plastic for looking old fast. But I would not trade this bike for any other current production model. Show less

The 2004 450F is the best bike I have owned. The power is unstoppable. I just got back from Glamis and I was drag racing guys on 500's and 650's and beating them by at least five bike lengths. This is a very good bike if you're looking to ride in the sand I would also get a track bike, it's a little fast for trails (recommend 250f) Show less
