2013 Yamaha YZ450F Motocrosser
The 2013 Yamaha YZ450F was evolutionary when it was first released in 2010, and it continues to turn heads with a host of cool features that have yet to be copied by the other manufacturers. As one of the first OEMs to bring 4-stroke technology to the track, Yamaha has proven that they are not afraid to innovate.
- Backwards leaning cylinder
- Intake tract located on the front of the cylinder
- Exhaust located at the rear of the cylinder
- A host of other features designed to improve power and handling
The YZ450 is also one of the only motocross motorcycles to come with a limited 30 day factory warranty. Here is a great review of the YZ450F by Cycle News.
