Experts. Usually the guys with No Talent talking shit on the ones that do.

Anybody wanna tell me that Connection isn't one of Sammy's best? Well, then I'll know that they're an "Expert".

If the guitarist's name is "Montrose"? I'll be listening to it.

Who else played guitar with Hagar during that period? Surius plays their stuff all the time and it's still better than anything put out in the last 25 years. Funny that growing up they never got a lick of air play, but I now hear them more than in the 70's/80's.

Its the middle of May 2015 and you have to order a 2015 YZ450 ? Things must be rough in your part of the world. I can drive 5 miles and buy any brand of 2015 MX bike. If you have to order I would just wait a few months and order a 2016 because it sounds like you wont get it until 2017
I have to wait for my yamaha just for 5-7 days. It's a problem, becuase there are just few left.

If they have any sense they would, THE best feature on that bike is the front suspension

They are far from expensive. The engines are bulletproof. I rode one my last minibike year 2008 and it was an awesome little bike! It's kind of boring that they are still pretty much the same as the first one 2007, but a great bike. My 85ccs were more expensive than the Honda 150.

4 stroke horsepower baby... Chase Sexton & Austin Forkner were no match against the 150 honda in the super mini class.

those 112's couldn't hang...
Yea, those super-minis just don't seem to be competitive...

So you guys says, buy that 15, and let her rip?

Any user had some problems with the yz450f. I heard some blown engines, but only one or two.

I have a 14 and love it. No idea what they complain about with the chassis. Turns fine for me. Power is massive and the suspension is by far the best. I am also tall 6'4" and the Yamaha fits me perfect with Kevin Windham bars on it. One bad thing is the front brake sucks way to soft. Other than that it's a great bike

Spoke with my wallet a few weeks ago on a 15 450... Iv rode Hondas my whole life until now. I will say that I rode it once and sent the suspension to FC cause it definitely needed to be set up for my weight. Other than that this bike is amazing.
