i guess most guys know that the new honda is released. ( last january ) in U.S
they compare it with the new yfz450.. they said that the new honda more torque than the yamaha ( thanks for the big carb 42.0mm ) but the yamaha revvv's quicker than the honda ( thanks to the double over-head cam and the 5 titanium-valves).
Tim farr the offical rider for the honda Corp said " the new honda is very impressive and its have more power from low-end to midrange than the yamaha. and teh yamaha have more power from mid to top end. "
as i see from both from red team riders and blue team riders in U.S ..both quads r great and fast .. some yfz's beat and trx's and some trx's beat yfz's... IT DEPENDS ON RIDER SKILLS ACTUELLY!!
