The Yamaha Kodiak 450 received a face lift for 2008, but it retains all the nifty features so many riders loved: the Ultramatic transmission making operation easy and simple, the on-command 4WD with front differential blocking, independent rear suspensions and the versatile character. Ready for work and fun a any time of the day, the 2008 Yamaha Kodiak 450 can also be used at night thanks to the powerful dual headlights.

Hauling gear around is easy thanks to the Kodiak's dual racks; and with a generous towing capacity, the scenarios where this machine is the perfect presence multiply tenfold. Despite its mid-sized build, the 2008 Yamaha Kodiak 450 retains exceptional ground clearance and high-traction Maxxis tires, obviously not up to making any compromise: it's just a smaller beast, but with a strong heart.
