My buddy bought one a few months ago. He was really impressed with my yfz450 so he thought he would go with the honda to be different. Once he jumped on his 450r he was really not that satisfied. My yfz would walk all over it. The he dropped a bunch of money in his 450r, had it ported, cam, pipe. And he still has a hard time keeping up with my stock yfz 450. Oh and when i say my 450 is stock, i pulled the spark arrestor and took off the air box lid. I still consider it stock, theres no engine work done, but some people on here seem to disagree with me and they tell me its modified.
