um...ok...read the conclusion on page 80 and 81. qoute " it's fast in the desert, rips on the trails, soaks up the sand,smokes the competition. that is why the 2004 yamaha yfz450 wins our high performance shootout" did you miss that part or maybe you have a different magazine.........whatever

Agreed
I would take the Honda over the YFZ for trail riding and vica versa for Motocross. TRX for Harescrambles and Desert (Hey...it won the Baja 1000 before it was even available to the public)

Yamaha had their ass handed to them by Honda and Kawasaki in 3 wheeled MX. It is about time that they come out with something good to race MX with in an ATV. Personally the Tri-Z not even close to Kawi or Honda then and it sounds as though the 450 shootouts will prove that average rider will win on YFZ in MX and the honda will be better in XC and desert. Hey I think the 450R is cool due to kickstart and lighter front end, but I am no MX rider. I still think my 85 ATC will smoke the average 450R or YFZ on drags and hillclimbs. Can't wait to try it!

That race is all the rider and their endurance and how few problems the teams happen to run into. Honda won last year with that pile 3 speed automatic 650 thing they call their top utility ATV. A race is most cases is all in the driver/rider.
