2009 Yamaha YFZ450R First Ride

With a 48.5" stance, the 450R is near the limit for most trail widths, but fiddling with the suspension can still make this quad fun off the track.
Fuel injection allows for the rider to modulate acceleration with precision, and the bottom-end bog is eliminated.
This is what the YFZ-R was designed for. Motocross tracks will see plenty of abuse from these machines.
