For anyone that may care, I wanted to give a review of the '26 YZ450F as I recently picked one up. Avg Vet rider, occasionally race but just no time to take it too serious these days. Current other bikes are '21 YZ250F (modded, 2nd injector etc,) YZ125, 98 YZ250. Haven't had a 450 for many years. Ride the 23-25 a few times, and that set me on the path to wanting one. Anyways, very quiet. Sounds kind of odd actually but I kind of like it. Ergos most people know about by now. Overall good rider triangle but it...

Easy guys.... He is absolute gold to them at the moment, plus he has proven loyalty to them.... They are up to something beyond BNG. Besides, even if they decided not to drop an all new scoot in the next season or so, the old 450 still looks great after all these years, and still wins..... Older , proven, and slick beats new and flashy any day of the week. Cuss all you want..... BTW,,,,, It is fucking rad to see him having this much fun! So glad he did not burn out, and fade away. God bless that man...

I grew up close enough to the track that I could sometimes hear the bikes coming off the start gate from my house. When my friend and I started going to the National in the mid 80’s I always thought Skyhook was the coolest part of the track. The first MX races in Southwick were in 1972, but not in the current location. The original track was closer to the center of town.

If you ever owned a cr 03 - 07, then you would have come across, where the shrouds have rubbed a grove in the frame, not worn out, but hell of a groove, unless some sort of DIY application applied

“Babe, frames are like a helmet…”

Once a bike gets a couple years old the frames are genuinely dangerous and should be replaced with a new bike. At least that is what wives across the nation are told.

Fair shout out. Compromise
