fastrthnu Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 like it says anybody got 1... if so post some pics of it... and let me know your thoughts on it.. I want to get one, but Im a little tall so I might go with an lt450 or trx450 once I get the money even though Id like to keep em yamaha. Being smaller it may be easier for me to throw around though.

peterlocal22 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 they look pretty sweet although im still confused on why the weight of the 450 went up from past years? Quote

278 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 Yeah it did because of the EFI system and a few other goodies. The EFI system actually weighs a good amount for its size, but as far as the bike goes its pretty nice Ive heard some good things. If you get one you should check out Sonic Off-road the built an independent rear suspension for almost every 450 and the raptor 700 that adds more ground clearance and barely any weight its pretty nice.
