I would hope others would ride the bike before commenting.
You'll see for yourself soon enough. The new 450 Yamaha will be in your dealerships with in the next couple of weeks. Hope your able to get your hands on one and spin a few laps on it, so you'll be able to post your true feelings when you take your helmet off and get back to your computer.
The question is, "Why don't you believe what people that have ridden the new Yamaha 450 have said about the bike"?..................................I just wrote that last sentence and realized some of you guys don't believe the truth.
Of course, there are always going to be die hard two stroke fans(and 4t) that stand up for what they believe is the better of the two choices. Personally, I just love mx and as long I'm on TWO wheels and an engine, I'm happy, but I do race a YZ 450.
Marketing can not override physics now matter how much people are paid to say so. The buzz terms would have never been concocted if they assumed people would think it was light on their own. Why state the obvious, right? Unless it was not really true…
Newmann had me laughing so hard I cried. It would not be so funny, if it was not true and there weren’t so many folks upset about the truth! The Harley stand was so perfect. LOL
BRAAAP!
"2 strokes... Because 1/8th of a ton is just too fat to ride!"
“More than 3 strokes is playing with it”
“4 strokes… because everyone has the right to MX, not just those with riding skills.”
“What do mopeds, fat chicks and 4 strokes have in common…”
“4 strokes… look cool in the back of your truck.”
“Nothing says, “I have more money than skill” like an $8k bike!”
“Pay more, get more” – The all new 2010 YZ450F. More money and more tonnage than ever before.
I am crackin myself up now! LOL
Maybe Newmann could start a witty signature contest thread to parallel this one!?

I understand what Looped is saying that you can't feel the extra weight because of it's "mass centralization". Sometimes you go faster/quicker in drag racing by adding weight. Hopefully though, you don't hit anything because that extra weight is never good in a crash.
I'd love to have an 2010 YZ but I don't see myself spending that kind of knot on a dirt bike.
The 2010 is an exciting bike, lots to look forward to there. I'm sure it will even be a good improvement over the '09. But they really dropped the ball here with the weight. Going to an all-new, whiz-bang chassis and not only failing to lose weight, but gaining a significant amount? That's going backwards, and I don't see how you could argue otherwise. Its not like the '09 was the lightest one out there either.
Its not a knock just on Yamaha either, the Kawi is the heaviest pig of them all and the RMZ is close. Honda did a great job with the weight but missed the mark in some other areas. Sometimes you have to call a spade a spade, newer doesn't make it automatically better.
And... whenever they said that about the 125 Yamaha must have been a long time ago or they are retarded, cause everyone has said the YZ125 was one of the quickest engines in the class since about 96....
They changed the displacement to make the 4 stroke competitive, maybe they should do the same for the 2 stroke... a 300cc perhaps or maybe the 450 4 stroke will make it more even?!?!?!
Crush..... MXA has rated the YZ125 at the top of the heap since 96 cept 04 where the KTM got the nod.
