Great engine but from a brakes and suspension perspective there are better bikes out there. Have you looked at the new KTM 250EXCF (Twin Cam) or even the new CRF 450?

My loyalty remains with Yamaha.I know they have been behind in the ergo department but they are finally on equal footing with other manufacturers and have the best engine out of the lot.I have had a few WR 250F and 450F yamys and they are inderstructable if serviced properly.I would not consider the CRF 450 as I know a couple of mates that have had head and valve issues from new.Engine realiability is key here and the honda dont have a good record yet.The KTM is a nice bike but just cause its got brembos standard doesnt mean its better.You end up paying for it anyway.There motors are prone to alot of engine vibration and the KTM 250F just doesnt have the balls im used too.All great bikes but I love my yamys.Im thinking of going the YZ 450F as my toy cause I will be doing alot of moto x on it so it would be the better pick Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/30105-new-yz-450f/#findComment-462104 Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmac450 Member 1,650 Member For: 18y 8m 18d Gender: Male Location: NSW Posted 09/11/06 10:05 AM Share Posted 09/11/06 10:05 AM The Yammys are good and the Hondas do have reliability issues.I made the switch from Honda to KTM a few years ago and just can't go back. Despite being dearer to buy, they don't need as many upgrades as the Jap bikes, and their resale is much higher. Another big advantage is how quick and easy it is to convert the EXCs (enduro) to SX spec. This way you get the best of both worlds for legal bush riding and MX racing.That said, the Yammys are great bikes and if that's what you preffer then go for it. In my opinion, MX only bikes are too restrictive in today's environment of closed trails etc. An MXer is restricted to private property and race tracks, whereas a registered WR can go almost anywhere. Also, the new WRs are much closer to YZs than they used to be, plus a registerable bike retains much more resale value due to the above reasons.

I was a yamaha rider before I tested all the new euros and I have had to concede I was much faster and more comfordable on the euros Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/30105-new-yz-450f/#findComment-462251 Share on other sites More sharing options...
