The revolutionary YZ450F: So forward thinking everything else seems backwards.
Races are won and lost in the corners, so we designed our 2011 Yamaha YZ450F to corner better than ever, letting you turn in sooner, get on the throttle quicker and stay on it for longer.
In 2010, we rocked the MX world with the release of our revolutionary YZ450F.
The first ever production bike built around fuel injection. We moved the intake system up front, and slanted the cylinder rearward, which resulted in the most compact centre of mass ever found in a four-stroke. Instant throttle response, unprecedented balance and superior handling were by-products. The Bilateral Beam frame introduced revised geometry moving the fuel tank lower and back, while transferring more impacts to an all-new suspension and gave more feedback to the rider. And its back for 2011 in all its awesome glory.
