the yfz is a nice machine my freind has a yfz450 with a hot rodz crank,479 athena big bore,stage 2 cam,with a ported head when i mean its fast it moves out,but the handling on the older yfz's isnt even close to my can am 450. The ltr I chose because It comes nice and wide stock and is really low seat high is really nice,i have a freind with 2 ltrs and they rider better and handle better then the yfz's not sure about the yfz450r yet havent rode one. The honda is a nice quad but old school with a carb, the shocks arnt the best stock, and its really uncofterable to ride. my can am 450 comes with great shocks,nerfs,+1 sterring stem all little things that make it feel alot better when you ride it and the power is really nice, but if I where to get another 450 it would be a ltr or ktm
