Yamaha YZ450F reviews

I own a YZ 450 and this things got power. If you like wheelies and you want power this bike is for you. If you want something slow and it stays on 2 wheels this bike is NOT for you. This is a powerful bike that can catch any bike out there. This bike is great racebike and it is good off road too. The only thing is it is hard to start in the winter but is fine in the summer. Thanks for reading and I hope you like your new bike. Show less

I am 20 years old and I have raced half my life. I quit racing about a year ago because of reasons of growing up so I sold my bikes. After I started getting settled I saw a YZ450 in a dealership, ever since then I had my eye on it. Then I just decide to buy one so I did. Well first rideing it I took it really easy trying to break in the engine and even while taking it easy this bike had so much power the throttle response was instant and in any of the surprisingly few gears it has but for as powerfull as that bike was while breaking it in thats all that bike needs. It would stand up with me (about 200 lbs.) and my 170 lb friend on the back on command and it wasn't noticable if anyone was on the back or not it had so much torque and power. I can't wait till I get to take it out and ride again Show less

Just picked up my 2004 YZ-450 on Saturday so I just got it broken in. First impression is that it just plain moves, runs stong and clean right from idle all the way to up without hesitation. Ergos seem suprisingly roomy and comfortable for taller people. Suspension works really very well considering it isn't broken in yet. The engine pulls very strong, auto-decompression is great, and the lack of 5th gear isn't noticable on the track. It is by far the best bike I've owned so far and can't wait to get more time on it. Definatly worth the wait. Show less

A very awsome bike, One of the best produced by Yamaha yet. Show less

This bike kicks! It keeps up with any bike in the desert. If I had to make the decision again, I would buy another one in a heartbeat. Show less

This bike makes my yz400f bored to a 444 look like a 125. The power range and throttle response is great. The power over the crf is great too. The crf is sluggish compared to the yzf. Can't wait to buy my own this year. Overall the yz450f is the best motocrosser out there. Show less

The '03 YZ450F has great power! Once you get used to it it is the best! Tremendous power..... Show less

I could sum this whole review into one sentence. This bike is amazing. I have had the YZ450F for two months and i can't get enough of it. When i go riding with my friends and their bikes they are in aw when i pass them in 3rd geer and flip rocks all over them. It is amazing how much torque this bike can give you. Show less
