Just as we were going to press with this issue of Dirt Toys, Yamaha Motor Corp. announced its 2011 YFZ450R and YFZ450X sport ATVs, completing the industry's strongest sport ATV line-up for the coming year.
With superior power, comfort and handling, Yamaha's high-revving YFZ450R and 450X are specifically designed for pure performance and get new color and graphics in 2011.
Both the YFZ450R and X have proven Yamaha performance and durability with long-travel adjustable suspension, a no-weld aluminum with steel hybrid frame and a powerful fuel injected engine. These two ATVs have a lot in common, but their subtle differences have a major impact on their performance in different riding situations.
The YFZ450R is a motocross-ready ATV at 48.8 inches wide. It is also set up perfect for wide-open trails, desert terrain and sand dunes. The YFZ450X is tweaked to be a tight-trail machine at 46.1 inches wide and optimized suspension settings.
We'll have a complete rundown on these two models in the next issue.
