OTHER BIKES, PLEASE MOVE TO THE REAR The revolutionary YZ450F will have many gazing far into the future. By slanting the cylinder rearward and reversing the intake and exhaust ports, the YZ450F's mass is more centralized for amazing balance, unprecedented handling and cornering. The Bilateral Beam frame and suspension offer fantastic feedback to the rider. Add fuel injection to the mix of these innovations and you'll agree: backward is the right way forward.
Introducing the all-new, all-powerful, all-light YZ450F. Just how revolutionary is it? We've forged a totally new machine from the Dunlops up. With features like an all-new, liquid-cooled, 5-titanium valved 449cc single, with a completely redesigned automatic decompression system for easy-starting. An all-new 4-speed transmission and a beefed up clutch with larger, stronger plates. Lighter weight frame and swingarm. Completely revised suspension, stronger brakes and more aggressive ergos and styling. And its incredible weight loss makes it harder-hitting and sharper handling than ever.
Featuring a new EFI engine, an entirely new frame, minimized body work and new suspension components providing for excellent mass centralization and class leading 450 power with 250-style handling.
