The fun way into racing.
Addicted to the pulse-quickening thrills of high-speed riding? Then it's only a short step into the world of circuit racing. With the YFZ450, you can start your race career as you mean to go on: fast, and fun.
A 449cc liquid-cooled engine gives the kind of muscular torque and fast pick-up needed to pull you away from the grid first. And because it's been tuned for quick and responsive operation in the low- to mid-range, your focus stays where it belongs - on the race.
And, thanks to redistributed weighting and a hybrid chassis, the YFZ450 is light enough to weave through your fellow racers - but absorbs the bumps, for a smooth ride all the way to the finish line.
