Honest Thoughts On The ALL NEW 2023 Yamaha YZ450F...
Спорт
The Yamaha YZ450F is without question the most highly anticipated bike of 2023. All-new from the ground up, the bike is six pounds lighter, noticeably thinner between your legs, more powerful than before, and better looking, to boot! There is no denying the fact that the Yamaha engine has been a beast ever since the brand reversed the cylinder head. Something about the design - we suspect the super-straight, downward air intake - and the rearward-slanted cylinder head; produces massive horsepower and enjoys better forward traction than any other powerplant in the class. The new YZ450F engine is even more wicked, with a big hit down low that transforms into a massive mid-range and top-end that doesn't quit. The power is so abrupt, though, that most of our testers rode with the optional second map which is smoother and more tractable.

Cool video. Thanks for the feedback. Still not a fan but thanks for the input.
It's a drinking game at this point. Down the beer everytime you hear narrower. A shot from nimble. Go
One of the best things about the '23 model is less....A LOT less airbox noise.
Can you adjust the front end? Yup to 2 mil you did it as I asked the question.
I just bought one and I hope it's as good as my old 2009 cause that was the last time Yamaha made a 4 stroke bike I really liked despite owning a 2010, 2011, 2017, 2018.

@Duke Bonde Dirt Bike magazine rates Yamaha # 1 , Swap Moto has Kawi # 1 . The YZ450F is thousands cheaper than the KXSR, has better suspension , more power and has a superior engine mapping system .

It's funny when people make comments like well Tomac likes it. Yeah Tomac has 80k in his bike and is not even significantly close to what you'll be riding.

@@Runk3lsmcdougal BS, it IS significantly close since it's the same platform which means it has all the same frame geometry as stock. Tomac has very expensive suspension but most people would not like it more than stock since most people aren't fast. Same goes for the motor. Stock already offers more than most can use effectively. Don't be blinded by the money spent on him because it doesn't mean what you think it does.
I hate the stock tires. Once I got some better rubber on mine, it was way faster everywhere.

@@grecoconduris6716 I ride primarily hard enduro with occasional desert runs. I'm on a '21 and won't be buying the new bike. I'm after stability at speed and need a much firmer tire for hard braking on rocky terrain. When I tried using lower than 15psi on the mx33's it was almost unridable. Up front I'm still running the factory tire at 20psi for now, but have switched the back out for a Tusk T-45 to get by. For desert I bought an IRC VE35 front and Maxxis Maxxcross Desert IT rear.

Your comment : "The bike enjoys better forward traction than any other powerplant in the class" is very very interesting , Tomac was asked about his starts and he said the bike is a rocketship and gets great traction at the starts . I just don't understand why this bike gets better traction .

The starts are grated so all the bikes get traction off the start they mean the bike feels like it puts more pressure on the front wheel kind of like a honda.

WHOA IN ORDER TO GET BETTER CORNERING YOU HAVE TO GIVE UP STABILITY??? Yeah no shit. You can't have turn on a dime handling AND stability in fast rough sections.
