Motorcycle specifications Yamaha YZ 450 F 2012 Sport en plus
presentation of the YZ 450 F 2012
the YZ 450 F has long been a favorite among professional and amateur riders alike. The 2012 version is more competition-oriented. Thanks to new injection settings, riders immediately feel a more responsive engine character. Newly designed front and rear suspensions provide better damping and greater comfort for both racing and leisure riding.
the 450 cm³, four-stroke, four-valve, liquid-cooled, rear-biased engine provides incredibly efficient intake and better mass centring thanks to the reversed fuel intake and exhaust. The result: a direct intake that fills the cylinder more efficiently and contributes to mass centering, ensuring prodigious performance in corners.
different types of aluminum are used to precisely fabricate frame parts to ensure the best balance between strength and excellent rigidity. Side shocks are converted into longitudinal shocks, which are absorbed by the suspension. The result is a sturdy yet lightweight chassis that's breathtaking in the corners and impressive in its handling.
