2007 Yamaha YFZ450 SE review
2007 yamaha YFZ450 SE
off-roadweb.com made a nice review of the yamaha YFZ450 SE. Here is a part of it:
Press the push-button electric start of the '07 yamaha YFZ450 SE (Special Edition), blip the throttle, and feel the high-revving, single-piston, four-stroke motor spring to life. It's music to our ears. Once on the pipe and into the revs, you experience an endless, linear throttle response. This is something yamaha has developed and perfected with its motocross-dominating YZ dirt bikes. Throw it into a turn or hit a whoop section, and the ergonomics are fluid. A long, low, and narrow YZ-style seat enables optimal rider positioning in any riding situation. There is no tall gas tank to get hung up on - you can move around the cockpit unimpeded. It truly feels like riding its two-wheeled cousin, the YZ450F.
Get your display cases ready. The race-bred YFZ450 should help you gather up First Place trophies at any local track.
There are three models offered in the YFZ line: base, SE, and the Bill Balance model. The base-model YFZ450 is available in signature yamaha Blue. The SE is offered in two colors: black with carbon flames and white with red carbon flames. The limited-edition Bill Balance model, built in honor of the six-time GNCC champion, comes in blue with red number plates on the front beak and rear fenders, a trick grab bar, and nerf bars.

We chose the SE, dressed in white with carbon flames. Beneath the flamed skin are adjustable front and rear piggyback shocks with high- and low- speed compression damping, as well as rebound damping and spring preload. It didn't take us long to dial in the handling to our body weight and riding style. In the dunes, the YFZ is at home with gobs of sand-churning power and the long-travel suspension to soak up the bumps. In the air, the YFZ has very predictable manners, resulting in confidence-inspiring acrobatics.
