Yamahas suck, don't buy one. Find yourself finishing 10th in 450C on a Yamaha? Thats definitely the bikes fault. Go buy any other bike and you're looking at top 3 finish. Yes cupcake you really are that fast and the Yamaha's been holding you back all along. Need more proof? Just ask MXA. The bikes a roach, it has blue wheels, intake noise, and no hydraulic clutch. How does Yamaha expect us to win the 450C supercross championship on a bike like that? Not to mention it's now been proven Eli and Dylan can't win on it either. Please keep buying KTMs, Hondas, KX's or whatever.
Ride Red, Let the good times roll, and Ready to race = novice class championships, factory contract, and trophy girls. Revs your heart = 15th place and a cold shower.

Yamahas are the worst bike ever since they removed the handholds from the sidepanels

One would think the 450 "C" class supercross championship was a dead giveaway, or the blue rims, or calling them cupcake, or......... 🤦‍♂️

We are going to win that C championship. We can do it. We can work with speed.

The Yamaha is so bad that MXA suggests you drop a tooth in the rear

Honestly.... Tomac doesn't look as good on the yz as he did on a kawi. Not saying they won't figure it out but currently during the RACE he doesn't look good. It's like the balance is off .... I know he won the heat but he isn't riding the bike with the same aggression as he did with the kawi

That high-lift bike rack looks amazing! I need one! (Or two)

What brand is it? Where are they sold?

And how do you get it up there aside from two men lifting?

I have a current model YZ450. At first I didn't like the chassis and didn't like how the rear wouldn't squat on flat corners like a Kawi. Since riding other current model 450s I still have to admit the YZ450 is a great bike. Its predictable, fast, good suspension, and the chassis isn't horrible. Also its been bulletproof... Your argument is definitely 100% invalid. Learn to ride the bike and maybe then you'll get out of C class.

I just designed it myself...its all inside my shipping container house. It consists of a square section pole that goes from floor to ceiling, secured top and bottom with sliding mounting plates that slide over the pole. The bike sits on a sliding plate..just like the top of a bike stand.
I just loop a tiedown through the frame and over the seat. There is an eyebolt above each of these 4
hi lift stands mounted through the roof. Just use a small block and tackle attached to the tiedown and the eye bolt,then hoist it up to the ceiling, then slide the bike stand plate up to where I put pin though the pole beneath the plate, then lower the bike down onto it..pretty easy and simple,one man job

Don't sell a Yamaha (of Any sort) to PJRAUS - he turns them to a life of Pole Dancing!

He's a Bounder and a Cad! Whistling

What sort of atrocity will he do to a Stark Varg when he gets one?

I shudder to think of it.

The YZF450 just won the outdoor title and now because it gets P10 at one SX race with a rider that didn’t grow up on SX and has only been on the SX box once, it sucks?

Why not just buy a YZ250F then? If you don't smoke your class then it's no one's fault but your own.

The Varg will be on the bottom closest to the door...right beside the supermini..the 450 can stay up the top of the far end until I can ride out of sight on a dark night again..
