Title: YZ450F
Post by: Saner on February 06, 2006, 05:16:15 AM

Rode a YZ450F for the 1st time yesterday.. That thing is a rocket! I only weigh 130lbs, so needless to say the front end was off the ground in every gear.

An 06-07 YZ450F is going to be in my garge here in the near future. I love 2 smokes but that yz450f is one bad dude. My bud just got an 06 with the alumn. frame. after he gets it broken in good I'll ask if I can roll on the throttle.

I hate to say it but the only Kawasaki I love and have a passion for is the KX500. I will soon buy another 500 this year. Please don't throw rocks at me :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:. I like bikes and riding. Green,Blue,Red,Yellow,Orange it doesn't matter.

I sat on one of the new KX450F's at my dealer's place the other day and it sure felt good!

Very rigid and 1 purpose machine. Great torque tho.

Never tried a KX450F, but I sure have ridden quite a few YZ450F's and CRF450s. And I have to say hughes, the YZF is old and slow compared to the CRF. Sorry. ;-)

Too bad the KXF comes with that 4 speed. Kills it for me. I once owned a CR480 with a 4 speed. Wonderful for the MX track but next to useless for anything else. Cam.

My bro-in-law has a KTM MXC450 with a six speed that's kind of nice!

YZF is also a 4 speed. Those are my complaints. If I were to get a 4 banger, I'd be on the CRF though. Even if it does throw a crank every 50 hours. ;-)

The wider flatter torque band is probably why they only went to a 4 speed tranny!

I thought I read that the 06' YZF450 was back to a 5 speed???

The 06 is a 5 speed.

Alan, The 2006 Yamaha is a 5 speed. I don't know what kawasaki has plans for on theirs but right now it is a 4 speed box.
