There is way more maps out there for the Yamaha. Pro lem is i tried to take this on some tech single track it beat the Hell out of me. The Sherco is straight up WAAAAY easier to trail ride and lugs super low.
How does the cockpit feel? I’m hearing the seat to foot peg ratio is tight. I’m considering this bike but I’m 6’2 and worried it’ll feel small. Coming off a 450xcf
I am 5'11" so for me it feels pretty neutral. I have been on Yamahas for years ,so they all feel the same to me. I have a Sherco as well that taller folks say they feel cramped, however I feel good on that as well.
Hey, how would you compare your YZ450FX to your sherco 250 2stroke? In terms or rideability and enjoyment? Been riding about a year and half. Started on YZ250 riding mostly trails and dunes in. Fairly versed and capable of riding fairly hard and rough trails. Now looking to dabble into track riding. I'm torn between the YZ450FX and CRF450RX. Question is with the tuner app how much adjustability do actually feel? Is it night or day?
Let me say first and foremost, the 4 stroke 450's are a handful. 100% different than my Sherco. I used to race YZ250's for years. Went to 450's. I had not raced, or ridden for a.numbers of year, and decided to get a YZ250X, rode tha, but missed the gut punch of the450ss. This is an OUTSTANDING cross country or open area bike. She is a big handful on the track. I did race a GP race that was half trail like and half moto track. It was awesome. I tried this on some singletrack enduro stuff, and it beat me to death. The map switch is very cool. You can feel the difference, lots of maps you can copy from the web. I will honestly say, I enjoy my Husqvarna 250FC 4 stroke on the track, than the 450FX. I decided that during this video.
@@badkarma8706 Thanks for the feedback. I love 2 strokes and glad I started on one. I think I just gotta find out for myself. My buddy said I would be fine on it as of now with my experience but we shall see
@eazyduzit1042 so, just FYI I am 59. Been riding since 74. Bikes have come along way. If you know anyone with a 450 and a 250 four strokes, ya, check em out the same day. I really didn't know, u ril a few.months with out riding it, how freaking powerful it is. It was causing me hand cramps and more arm pump that the Husky, just because I had to hold on so much more and really had to concentrate on squeezing with my knees and relaxing my hands, alot more often. I am Fortunate, that I have the 3 bikes. Enduro, moto and definitely the 450FX will be for more open stuff.
@@badkarma8706Yeah I’ll probably keep the yz around just in case. I’m 26 and know some older guys your age that ride 450s with us. They can hang and make it up and down some gnarly stuff. They swear by them but they have been riding their whole lives. Only reason I want one is for dunes and electric start/no carb.
@eazyduzit1042 e start is a savior. On some of the tight singletrack I may kill the 450 10 times in a 100 ft. Estart is a life saver. I live in Colorado, and at elevation a tip over, pick up and kicking can wear. You out in a matter of 20 minutes into a ride.
