"We havent weighed it yet but Im going to make a completely false statement and assume that its heavier and put that out into the world when in reality its lighter than last year."
yes its like their trying to milk ktm and huskie i would still be riding hondas if they made 2 strokes but i was raised on yamahas plus they still makie 2 strokes
What is the big thing about e start for track bikes I’ve never had a e start bike ever I’m not a track star by any stretch but is kick starting a bike really that hard........ especially the new 4 strokes it’s not like your trying to start an old 426 lol all the new riders will have twigs for right legs lol
Pat Shore dude when you’re exhausted and the bike is hot as hell, the e-start is a godsend if you kill it on a corner or something like laying it over. Get up and bam! Off you go. I’ve kicked many bikes to the moon exhausted from a moto and been so pissed cuz it won’t start
ZmannR2 I’ve only ridden 2 strokes for most of my life i know they start a lot easier especially hot and I get what your saying I personally don’t like relying on a battery
I've been reading a lot of problems in the electric start. Apparently it doesn't want to start sometimes especially when stalling the bike? Have you had this problem MXA?
So the first guy states "bike is very wide and can be felt putting foot down in corners" which makes no sense, second rider states, "bike feels very thin" 😆
Since it's the 20th anniversary of Yamaha's 4 stroke motocross bike, why not have a shootout? Put a 1998 yz400f budget build against the 2018 yz450f. You might think that's stupid, but what does 20 years of r&d get you? I've ridden the first generation yzf and I didn't like the frame geometry, but I have never ridden a fuel injected motocross bike. I'm baffled that Yamaha hasn't found the bread and butter for the 450, like they have with the 250f.
I’m 5’9 about 165lbs, I’m new to the dirt bike game I grew up on wheelers and sleds I love speed, is this bike too much? Literally the only bikes I can find second hand are 450’s
I LOVE the plastics, I think it looks way better than before. I hatted the previous front fenders. 2018 looks AWESOME. Like they say, "beauty is in the eyes of beholder".
Could you please NOT mention the name of CrApple's "iJUNK" phn in your test or future articles. Just say "Smart Phns"(Of course, iJUNK is anything but Smart, LOL). The 1st thing this test rider said about Yamaha's tuning app was iJUNK phn, Assuming every person on earth has iJUNK garbage toy crap phns. Unless you're an iSHEEP and have been brainwashed by CrApple to think wasting $1000+ on a phn that only cost $80 or less for China to manufacture for CrApple, makes you cool and special, most higher IQ people go with devices that cost LESS and does WAY MORE, and get devices that are at least 4+ yrs "ahead" of iJUNK phns. CrApple= We Copy EVERYTHING and then pretend it was all our idea and then we stick it to you $$$$$$$$ so you think you're cool, with our Devilish Logo.

KTM, Husky, Suzuki, Honda watch your back cause Yamaha is back on top!
We are into 2020 and I still love my 2018.. great bike.
Awesome video guys!!!
When u try to be negative but u can't because the bike is so great lol.....i will never watch another video again from this page
That awkward walk jump scrub at 3:00 😂
K. J. C. Yeah for sure but it's always awkward to scrub when the face is vertical like that and you have to slow down as well 😜
I think the bike looks fantastic. This review was rather negative so I guess we'll see how it stacks up in the shootouts.
yes its like their trying to milk ktm and huskie i would still be riding hondas if they made 2 strokes but i was raised on yamahas plus they still makie 2 strokes
Does it come built
"It definitely feels like a Yamaha" "The bike is super narrow, it definitely not have that Yamaha feeling", wait what?
One guy says it feels wide, next guy says feels narrow lol.
We need Yamaha to win us a championship!

Pat Shore well I meant 4-strokes. 2-strokes it was never needed
E start is good if are running for the championship.
Otherwise kickstart is better for me because you dont have to worry about the battery
Will Dungey still win if he rode this bike?
Are the 2018 Yz450fx gonna be like this? Mappable from the app?
King Matthews yes
I've been reading a lot of problems in the electric start. Apparently it doesn't want to start sometimes especially when stalling the bike? Have you had this problem MXA?
It can be a little bit of a pain if you stall it and try to get it going in gear.

Johnathan Yinger that is a cool idea.
So..... how many hours can you run the new four stroke 450s for between top end rebuilds?
Ernie Desjardins Too many variables to give an answer.
What is its price
is it good for a 14 yr ??
Yzf 💙

Ya dont buy a 450 as a starting bike. Huge mistake. Its been a year. what did you buy?
Tell price
Just an opinion. Watching the track part of the video, I think there's to much compression in the front forks. I ride yamaha too.
Download link for the map ?
How much for one of those
yall take the fun away wit the push start😭
Shaquani Bailey ikr
Does anyone know how the select teat riders
You said it was really wide, then said it was narrow? What?
Somebody knows when is new 250F coming out?
its been out, i can go buy one right now.
Operator 187 shit. Totaly missed it. No review videos...
Hey great video as usual! How about a shootout for the quad enthusiasts ?

I like some of the Hi-Techness BUT HATE 4 STROKES! Give me my 2015 12 Year old design YZ 250 2 stroke any day of the week & twice on Sunday!
Yamaha YZ250 Braap!!
18,19,20,21,22 same bike and still a highly rated bike, funny
I am not a fan of the rider triangle on the yami and i am only 5'8 its cramped
good
The honda is the bike to get IMO
crf450honda2018 how much
Is it just me or does the front end look really twitchy ?
Bmw should make a mx bike! The white, blue and red colors would look so good!
They actually did make a dirtbike decades ago. It was a flop lol. Look it up.
basically new from the bottom and up, and ecklund is still not happy at all? I have wonder for ages how much they pay him to make commercials for KTM.
Let me paraphrase this "it's not a ktm therefore we don't like it"
Its still a bike a bike is a bike and deal with it Plus its alot cheeper than a KTM to!
That's why we like it because it's not a ktm
I heard someone saying electric start is lighter than a kick start! lol
U heard wrong
Dude you can see that thing wanting to stand up in the corner..come on Yamaha
go into your video guys computer. and delete all his music. please. just try one video without this horrrible generic noise. i wana hear the bike
DeeBalls 128 Exactly
Please get some better music for the next review.
Where's half a sheep at?
bike is 250 pounds. 4strokes killed motocross
josh wright - because they get paid to... the 4 strokes were forced into the sport... u really think its up to the riders? no... all about that $$$
my xr600 make me happy for the next years at my death
Dirt looked so good
Facts vs assumptions.
No Brasil tá 40 mil
check out my first ride on my 2018 white edition
porotótico!
who did they hire this year to do the plastics? all three # plates look like shit and so does the front fender. wtf Yamaha lol
Kevin Mcdonald a
They honestly look brittle but who knows. I think being able to have pros and whoever upload maps to the app is so sick.
I LOVE the plastics, I think it looks way better than before. I hatted the previous front fenders. 2018 looks AWESOME. Like they say, "beauty is in the eyes of beholder".
Side plastics look like shiiit, 2 small & crooked asf, like its got a bikini on
Guess what it’s a few pounds lighter🖕🏻
Fuck iPhone what about Android can I change the mapping from that
💙😭
most contradicting opinion I've ever heard. Also quit getting c riders to that would hop on a 2004 crf250r and go the same speed
Every video iv seen on this bike, all the riders on the turns are blowing out berms and bouncing all over the place
The first thing I would do to that bike would be to take that pox looking front fender off and put the older look on... Looks like they copied ktm...
-6/10
Here because honda power sucks... no longer a honda boy.
It's fugly.
Gooooo fuck yourself tool.

Poop On-iJUNKs broke pussy
What a terrible review...
the 2009 Yzf450 was a nice looking machine...since then its the ugliest bike made
