Yamaha’s YZ250 has been a champion motocross bike for decades, showcasing Yamaha’s abilities to make an excellent dirt bike available to the masses. Yamaha wasn’t going to be left out of the four-stroke engine craze, despite continuing two-stroke manufacturing. One of its best entries into the four-stroke field is its YZ450F, a large displacement dirt bike that delivers a ton of torque and quiet reliability.
Continuing its tradition of bringing innovation to the track, Yamaha came out with its YZ400F dirt bike as the first major manufacturer to introduce a four-stroke variant, according to Pulp MX. The AMA had recently made rule changes to allow for four-stroke machines, and Yamaha made waves when it showed up — competitors took up to five years to respond with a similar model. Nearly 25 years later, Yamaha’s big bore dirt bike has grown to the 450cc YZ450F, and it remains one of the toughest bikes to beat on the dirt.
The newest model YZ450F has been updated heavily since 1998 and its riding experience has greatly improved. According to Cycle News, it now has fuel injection and Yamaha has also integrated launch control and a rev-limiter with capabilities of tweaking turning through an app. However, while this bike can easily get you flying through the air or sailing over multiple whoops, the price hits just shy of $9,000 or $10,000 for the Monster Energy Yamaha Racing Edition, which makes it a machine for serious riders.
