The 2012 Yamaha YFZ450R SE is an ATV motocross racing machine. Since handling is one of the key ingredients of winning a race, the 2012 YFZ450R SE comes with a weldless aluminium frame with a tensile steel bottom part for a lowered center of gravity and more stability. Even more, thanks to the ProTaper 4-way adjustable handlebars, riders can choose the best stance to suit their riding style and thus max out the performance.
The racing-spec titanium valve 449cc engine has been tuned to deliver low-to-midrange grunt for powerful acceleration during slow corners and plenty of torque to tackle obstacles. With Yamaha's proprietary injection system, this ATV not only offers precise throttle but also delivers a predictable amount of power to allow the rider to make the best decisions.
With a wide wheel spacing and generous wheel travel, this ATV also comes with good ground clearance, making fun for trail riding as well. And in case you crash, the bodywork parts can be easily swapped without tools, and without too much hassle. With piggyback reservoir adjustable suspensions, the 2012 YFZ450R SE can be rapidly set up for various riders and a multitude of terrain types, delivering great grip and excellent balance.
