The frame looks familiar but like all of the new quads I don't like the plastics... Banshee and 88-89250R are still the best plastics to date in my opinion. (I'll put one of those next to my 700CC atk with the paddle when I'm rich!!!)

Thanks.

i dunno but im not that impressed....
None of the big companies are gonna throw out a race quality quad. Do you expect them too? Cannondale is the only one that offered one and it was in the $12K range. I'll take that motor and frame platform to start off with and build on over the Yamaha anyday!!! The plastics must go though!!!
What do you mean no race quality factory quad? THe YFZ 450 is just that, a Racer out of the box! The same for the TRX 450.
What I'm saying is from the factory it still would greatly benefit from a host of bolt ones like wider arms, wider axle, tuned shocks, maybe a longer swingarm depending on race conditions, etc...
That's like saying my '03CRF450 is a race bike outta the box. Sure it's the best bike I've ever owned but there's a host of changes I would make to set it up if I used it for more then just a casual play bike.
In my opinion this is the closest production quad for racing but the price tag reflects it... (closed coarse)

I think this is an example of a full race quad, Sundahl's Banshees... (desert)

I see what you are saying. What has taken a rise in the ATV racing though is the stock class, where these bike will be able to race in. Most of the big names run in the stock class now.
Does anybody race the Connondale out in the desert? I didn't even know they made a quad...
