Ride Review: TPR project Yamaha YFZ450R
The second of three stories on the Tarantula Performance Racing project Yamaha YFZ450R is up at ATV.com. This story reviews the quad's performance and handling with input from an Ohio-based amateur racer and NEATV-MX pro Aaron Meyer. Click here to see what the test riders thought of the quad's performance.
This build started in April 2009, and the quad spent the bulk of the year bouncing around performance shops on the east coast. For a few of the sponsors, including TPR, this was only the first or second YFZ450R to come into their shop. And it's one of the first pro-level builds of the new Yamaha to be completely documented. Including purchase price, the tally for this build tops $18,000.
The first story at ATV.com shows how the project came together. You can watch the YFZR evolve from stock into a pro-am level race quad by clicking through the archives of this blog at the right of the page.
The video review with Aaron and ATVonDemand.com should be up next week. We'll post the video here when it's done.
