Get a new Yamaha while you can bro! I got a 21 Raptor 700R-SE this yr. Hope to get a '22 YFZ450R next summer! Forever machines ..never sell! #Maxima #Fox #Fordtrucks
I own a Yfz450r fuel injected and its mean as hell! Went from ridn Yz250 2 Strokes and am very happy to make the switch. Both Yamaha and Honda are badass though! Top 2 for sure
Absolutely love Hondas and I think both of these bikes are equivalent for everyday riding but on the track all you need is a chip and exhaust for the yfz to be track ready on race day where as the TRX you need a cam job to be power equivalent for race day and the suspension adjustment capabilities on the YFZ is all there but for the most part stock-for-stock those bikes are pretty equal for riders that don't know any better jumping from one to the other
i’ve owned both yfz 450 special edition it was yellow and a black honda trx 450, both had little work done on them and the yfz would keep up with with my trx 450 for 20 30 yards after that trx would pull away. my honda trx 450 was a mean machine
We all know Yamaha is faster, but the Honda is more reliable. I've one both, and 2 YFZ 450's. Current YFZ is Modded. Its a beast, but my Honda never needed as many repairs :D
I've owned both a 04 YFZ GNCC set up and currently own a 14 450ER GNCC set up. The YFZ is hands down a lil faster. Especially the carb models. The TRX is a beast once you cam and port it. Plus it simply last longer. Both great bikes either way you look at it. I would own both if I could afford it. 😎😎
I think it all depends on where you ride. Where I ride. TRX models are king due to the WOT desert racing. The Ezra length of the TRX helps with the tougher terrain. But at the truck the YFXs have the advantage
@@prestonbailey4450 I don't know about the king but I'm sure they're pretty good I'm sure the Yamaha would smoke it anywhere though I drove a Yamaha 450 in the desert and it was comparable to my 700 Raptor so don't count them out of the desert
From factory the TRX450R is held back by the restrictive exhaust and intake, hell the exhaust is so stopped up it's literally less than 1 inch in diameter and under the air filter is 10 layers of very fine mesh screen. After uncorking the exhaust, intake, and proper jetting it becomes a completely different quad when done right.
Id buy YAMAHA. They try alot harder to be the best with the yfz450. Nice they make a mx model. A gncc model. N a job blow budget model. Thats just unheard of.
Depends on these factors: 1. Rider ability 2. Modifications/aftermarket Stock for stock...Yamaha comes out of the box as the faster machine. (P.S. - I ride a tricked out 04/05 Honda 450R), but the Honda responds to modifications better. With the right mods on both machines...it really is equal though. All quads in the 450 displacement will plateau at a certain level and all be very comparable.
My stock 09 trx keeps up with a bored 15' yfz 450. I like the feel of the trx, the yfz opens up really aggressively. But the trx has a sweet gearing and feel. Suspension is better on the yfz, but balls to the wall hanging on is more doable on the trx.
All the Japanese bikes are basically the same but if you go back 40 years until now...Yamaha IMO has built the best overall bikes. Kawasaki, then Honda, the Suzuki. We are splitting hairs though.
The only way to see is 4 run’s,Do 2 run’s then riders swap quads and do 2 more. A lot of the time the rider isn’t as good as the other. If he isn’t shifting on time or putting his body weight in the rite spot, that will effect on the machine. . Also, you don’t do a circle course, just a straight up drag.
Somene mentioned the Yamis faster. That depends which Trx your going up against. The kick start honda 04-05 is 10.5 :1 compression. 06 on up that chaged with the ER model electric start honda. Its 12:1 Whole nother puppy as they say. I have an 08 big bored to 477cc. Hold the F on. Is all I can say. I like them all still.
I have a stock trx 2014 last summer I have race a 2019 yfz with dasa full exaust and a chip and we are dead even but my trx barely start to pull on him after 3 Gear.
My friend has an 2005 TRX450 and it smokes my 2010 YFZ450, I’m not proud to say it, but the things an absolute monster they don’t make em like they used to👌🏽
The YFZ450 should take the Honda ..not by much tho! Yamaha Is better all around machine ..hence why it's still around today. I do miss new Honda & Kawasaki 450cc quads on showroom floor ! Would buy a new Kawi 450 in a heartbeat. Sport quads for life! I own 2 Yamaha quads YFZ450X & Raptor 700R-SE.
The TRX 450 was discontinued this shows that Yamaha is the only brand that’s left and they’re here to stay. If I were to get a quad it would be a raptor 700
Johnny C 2015 I believe was when they discontinued it might have been 16 they still have the TRX 250 but have not made the 450 because the market shucks this new crop of young guys would rather play video games I guess and the price tag on these beasts don't help either they continue to make the Yamaha cuz Yamaha was leader on the track and now because of lack of competition leader of the pack
No brainer the yfz the 04/05 trx went 70 mph the 06 to 14 models went 72.9. Carb model yfzs go about 73 but get there fast the 09 to 13 efi yfz goes 74. From what I’ve seen the newest yfz is more restrictive and has ais so the riders claim only 72/73 mph.
North Star Machines yes I believe it not unless you got a 04 or 05 straight up they go 70 mph that’s it they have a article on it from back in 03. Plus I got a friend who has a 05 mint trx he weighs only 140 and still can’t achieve no more then 70. I’ve had all the 450s been riding them for 10 years. I’ve had 6 yfzs I had a mint 04 I could achieve on gps 73 that’s when I weighed 150 lol then I did the cam mod cdi box with full exhaust intake and jetting I could achieve 83.1 on gps then with the sprockets changed 15/37 you could get a extra 2.7 mph
@Vintage ATV & CYCLE Someone has clearly never owned a trx. It's no hidden fact they're easier to get power out of, last considerablely longer and are much easier and cheaper to rebuild.
I'm a dirtbike guy but the yfz and trx are some crisp looking quads
I'm a dirt bike guy too
@@Hondadirtbike ain’t that something you cupcake
Try a new Yamaha Raptor 700r ..you will looooove sport quads. The best all around sport quad ever made.
@OPOL 😂😂😂it’s faster for sure
Mean while.. dads in the field working and shaking his head lol
Outdoorsman 88 lol
Right lmao
When the boy's are done tearing up the field dad's going to make the replant everything
And that's why quads are more fun 💪 the ending drifts

Jack Wells well na shit!
@@lancekippenbrock5307 🤣
It is the driver but there both pretty good drivers and the yfz won
the dumb squad how are they good drivers? 🤣 literally you can see how bad the guy with the trx was at the start
The Trx will get a yfz in the bottom end but top end the yfz has it still they are both nice fast quads
Really depends on the tires given both quads didn’t have much traction.
Love my efi yfz450r but those carb yfz’s can sure rip even a setup trx as well!
Impressive!
@Mark Freeman #408, Thanks for the comments!! And the view! Love what you do man!!

Id buy YAMAHA. They try alot harder to be the best with the yfz450. Nice they make a mx model. A gncc model. N a job blow budget model. Thats just unheard of.
Honda doesn’t have to try hard its alteady the best thats why they keep on winning championships on baja races
their rippin hard gawd damn 💯💯
Before the donuts he was white clean!
I just bought a 08 Honda trx450r is there anything I should look at motor wise?
Depends on these factors:
1. Rider ability
2. Modifications/aftermarket
Stock for stock...Yamaha comes out of the box as the faster machine. (P.S. - I ride a tricked out 04/05 Honda 450R), but the Honda responds to modifications better. With the right mods on both machines...it really is equal though. All quads in the 450 displacement will plateau at a certain level and all be very comparable.
I would have to agree on Honda responding to modifications better I own a Yamaha myself but in my experience the Honda’s are faster
Fax
Tyler Mcdaniel you gotta agree a Trx comes pretty bottled up from factory for reliability purposes
Yfz!! Lo maximo!!!
Nexxt we need a 2006 TRX450R vs 2006 YFZ450 haha Good video
TRX VLOGGER check out my race ready yfz450 on my channel
My stock 09 trx keeps up with a bored 15' yfz 450. I like the feel of the trx, the yfz opens up really aggressively. But the trx has a sweet gearing and feel. Suspension is better on the yfz, but balls to the wall hanging on is more doable on the trx.
Not to mention the clutchless shifter
You can't beat a 4th gear wheelie on a trx
Laugh
Love
They really know how to drive but I still want to know which one is faster.
Johan Peters it really depends on what type of driving your doing
All out balls to the wall yzf is faster and its not even a debate
@@HenryCountyAuditors compared to the trx, you gotta give it. The yfz definitely isnt A LOT faster. Its barely faster. Trx keeps up.
@@whophead6837 not stock vs stock id leave a trx . Hondas are cheaper to make power but stock vs stock they stand no chance
@@HenryCountyAuditors idk man. My 09 stock trx 450r stayed tight with a 2015 yfz 450r
Both are awesome
All depends on the gear ratio
YFZ Nation baby!
Yfz al day🔥🔥
There was a car outside my window and it sounded like someone was on life support
do you remember this comment?
@@TheInsultInvestor nope:)
Did they even changed the gear?
Love the farm land . Kinda like here in NW Ohio ! Northern riding rocks!
What year are the bikes
Being an owner of both Yamaha is always faster apple to apples.But i prefer the handling of the Honda better.
I got a yfz450 love it
That was pretty badass. To bad i only have a 400 ex
me too, starting to feel like i have a kids starter quad now with everything that is out, lol.
Yep, time to upgrade to the 450R boys! You won’t regret it, they pull hard!
All the Japanese bikes are basically the same but if you go back 40 years until now...Yamaha IMO has built the best overall bikes. Kawasaki, then Honda, the Suzuki. We are splitting hairs though.
I'm a Honda fan but YFZ is definitely faster than the TRX
Brad Arnott Honda all the way
In stock for yes.... I agree100 percent
Trx any day
I beat the Yamahas on my trx all the time
@@jduke916 I'll gladly race your Honda I have a 07 YFZ450 SE I stay in high desert in Cali
This video makes me wanna ride !!!

Y'all seen that spark or sum when they did the first run on the trx
it was the cameraman's hand chopping downward saying 'go'
The circle drifting seems like the video was fast forward. Both nice quad and brand
You guys pick bales by hand?
no, those are big squares use loaders
You should put a TRX 400 EX into the mix especially with a big gun on it
@motorider15 dead ass ive been wanting to know that answer i have a 2004 440ex with a big gun on it and its hella quick so it would be nice to know
Hondas are turds. Maybe I'd own 1 if I were in some foreign country and didn't have access to others.
I’ve got a trx. Amazing
Somene mentioned the Yamis faster. That depends which Trx your going up against. The kick start honda 04-05 is 10.5 :1 compression. 06 on up that chaged with the ER model electric start honda. Its 12:1 Whole nother puppy as they say. I have an 08 big bored to 477cc. Hold the F on. Is all I can say. I like them all still.
Yamaha yfz 450 are the best atv !!
You wish
Do 450R's only have kick start?
I believe just the first few years didn't have electric start.
Mines an 03 trx 400 and it has a electric start
Where’s the R?
I like both
Amazing!
Mark Freeman #408 you should do goon riding again 🔥❤️🙏💯
Who seen the yfz pull off in the beginning
I only saw him pull off the whole race
Yfz 450 ñam the best 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Big rider error. One could be more weight or less. And they also don't have same
Traction
Also who has put more money in aftermarket accessories?
