i looked at them on the yamaha site and i have to admnit they look slick! i like the way the new plastics wrap around the headlights. it seems like they didn't really update the engine much, they only updated plastics a lil bit,the frame, and the width of it. just wanted to know what you guys think of them i'm a die hard yamaha guy.

heres the link for the site of the 450R yfz
2009 Yamaha YFZ450R Home, information, info
 
they use a bomb as camera for pictures lol.

but seriously it looks sick. but since its wider, those new 09 shocks probably wont work with a blaster conversion.
 
shocks should work still, looks like they did away with the long travel style a-arms and went with regular straight style
 
i have fallen in love!!! THATS THE MSOT AWESOME QUAD IVE EVeR SEEN IN MY F'kin LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IF ONLY I WAS RICH!! LOL
 
did anybody notice the seat almost looks like the one on the ltr 450 quadracer? i bet if Pat Brown gets this quad for his race career hes gonna pwn other racers maybe
 
it looks amazing and it looks even better in the flesh, it feels so good just sitting on one lol. i like the new plastics and stuff and well its a yamaha so i love it. But hears my problems with it this is a full out race quad right? then i just don't get why yamaha haven't made it fully race ready like the ktm 450. apparently its going to compete with the new ltr and can am 450 but the people in the know still think ktm is still the best full out racer out there, but i guess we will have to see.
