The YFZ450R quad has won a lot of racing titles along the years, and has also received multiple awards, while winning many shootouts... and the 2013 version is slightly better.
Since ATV motocross deals with powerful machines with superior handling, it'd the latter attribute where changes have been made for the 2013 Yamaha YFZ450R. A lightweight weldless aluminium upper frame is complemented by a high-tensile steel lower one for engine mounting, providing a better mass centralization and increased stability.
Revised seat padding offers enhanced comfort in any position while the 4-way adjustable handlebars make sure pretty much any rider would find the 2013 Yamaha YFZ450R to his or her linking in this aspect.
As for the tech side, the 2013 Yamaha YFZ450R boasts the same nervous 449cc, tamed by the counter-balancer axle. Handling in turns is enhanced by racing-spec dual disc brakes for the front end and wave-type rotor for the rear. A top-drawer instrument panel offers critical data on low fuel, coolant temperature, check engine, and neutral gear. The 2013 Yamaha YFZ450R is available for $8,599 (€6.610).
