Yamaha Race Quads

Like KTM, Yamaha realized that their YFZ450 could be made, with a few tweaks and mods, into a worthy track weapon but didn’t stop there. Rather than simply perform a few tricks and upgrades to their existing platform, Yamaha literally started with a blank slate and whipped up a whole new 450cc entry in the YFZ450R. Fuel injection, Kashima coated suspension parts, revised geometry, and a hybrid aluminum/ steel frame design highlights the goodies of this new model.
