Will there be a 2023 YFZ450R?

2023 Yamaha YFZ450R SE

TRACK-TAMING BEAUTY

This Special Edition features GYTR performance parts and unique color and graphic scheme that looks fast just standing still.

Features may include:

TOP FEATURES

  • Race-Ready Engine

The YFZ450R SE is the most technologically advanced Sport ATV on the market today. It combines a high-tech, quick-revving, titanium-valved, 449cc fuel-injected engine with a lightweight, professional-caliber cast aluminum/steel chassis. The power and chassis combination makes for a championship-winning machine time and time again.

  • Advanced Frame

The YFZ450R SE is motocross-ready. The weldless frame is designed from lightweight aluminum with a tension-steel bottom frame that lets the engine sit lower for excellent mass centralization. Suspension components and settings reduce weight while providing light, sharp handling and rider comfort.

ENGINE

  • Powerful Engine

The fuel-injected 449cc engine has superb power characteristics. Power delivery is smooth and strong off the line with lots of mid-range and top-end power.

  • Advanced Cylinder Head

The 449cc engine uses a five-valve cylinder head and titanium valve technology to deliver abundant power in the mid-range to top-end with more “hit” feeling right off idle. The high compression ratio further improves overall engine performance.

CHASSIS/SUSPENSION

  • Race-Ready Ergonomics

The body configuration allows more room for the racer to move around during the moto. To reduce fatigue, the seat is narrow in the front yet wide and padded in the rear.

  • Durable, Rigid Wheels

The wheels have been designed with the inner lip rolled in to increase rigidity, allowing for a reduction in weight while maintaining strength.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

  • Aggressive SE Style

Aggressive styling gives the YFZ450R SE a racy customized look with extras like the GYTR® front grab bar to match its unique graphics package.

  • Light Throttle Action

The throttle lever requires low effort for less fatigue during long motos.

Is Yamaha discontinuing the YFZ?

The YFZ450R is the only current-year, 450-class, high-performance sport ATV you can buy in 2021. Unfortunately, due to the emissions standards set forth by the California Air Resources Board (CARB), Yamaha is no longer offering the YFZ450R for sale in California.

Is Yamaha done making the YFZ450R?

Big Blue continues pure sport ATV domination. Yamaha's YFZ450R and Raptor 700R are back, and while nothing much has changed from last year, other than a $500 higher price tag across the board, we're stoked.

Is Yamaha still making yfz450?

The 2022 Yamaha YFZ450R remains as the only new 450cc pure sport ATV available. It's Yamaha's current second bestselling ATV, only bested by the top-selling sport ATV of all time, the Yamaha Raptor 700R. The YFZ450R is bred for the motocross track, but it has also racked up numerous cross-country racing championships.

When did they stop making yfz450?

As of 2022 the YFZ450R remains in production.
