Have your even rode a new YZ450? I guarantee you that bike would be just the same to you as everyother bike out there. The hate on this bike in this message board is retarded. The power handling and weight of the bike is fine.burn1986 wrote: IMO - Why can't Yamaha just make a regular bike? I realize Yamaha has to be Yamaha, meaning that they are always trying something crazy. But why reinvent the wheel? Was the 09 YZ that bad? So the front end pushed a little, but at least it was a viable weapon with a little tweaking. The present YZ could possibly be made into one, but cut the BS and improve the power, handling, and weight instead of touting miracle groundbreaking power, handling, and whatever.
They will probably come out with just BNG.

I had a 10 yz and it had excellent build quality, decent power, good suspension and felt much lighter then it is, but the front end is not good on the entry into corners or flat corners. the lack of bite out of the front wheel was very evident once you ride another bike on the same track. Is it competitive at the local level....for me yes, would I rather ride another bike....also yesburn1986 wrote: IMO - Why can't Yamaha just make a regular bike?

I understand what you are getting at but this is the kind of stuff that progresses our sport. Yamaha should be commended for thinking outside the box. Who didn't go a little crazy when those first pics of the backwards engine surfaced in 09? I personally can't wait to see what they did for '13.burn1986 wrote: IMO - Why can't Yamaha just make a regular bike?

Don't think so. The Yamaha team hasnt had factory support for quite a few years now. So no prototype bikes used. Will be using 2013 based bikes.mx1234 wrote: We will see in the japan motocross 2013

Specifically, in 2008, the Jubileo Racing closed its doors. In 2009 YSP Racing with NRT (Akira Narita) and Yamaha Japan, wanted to introduce the new 2010 model, Yamaha USA, but refused because he wanted to sell the 2009 models in stock.
