2009 Yamaha YZF450R Yamaha, in effort to keep the cutting edge in the competitive 450cc class, decided that rather than simply tweak its championship winning YFZ450; it would simply start with a clean slate. Enter the 2009 YFZ450R, a motocross inspired ATV that features everything from a hard-hitting all-new engine to true long-travel, racer-inspired suspension. Throw in fuel injection, an aluminum hybrid frame and a wide, 50-inch stance and you can consider your reservations atop the podium confirmed. Rather than discontinue the popular standard edition YFZ450, Yamaha will again offer it unchanged for 2009 at a more reasonable price.
