Click here for an CycleVIN Motorcycle History Report on this 2007 Yamaha YZ450F. Additional photos are available here for your perusal.
In 1998, Yamaha changed the moto world forever with the introduction of the YZ400 4 stroke motocross bike – it delivered performance equal to or better than the two strokes that dominated the off-road racing market at the time. Leaning on their vast experience gained from road racing, Yamaha engineers created a single cylinder 4 stroke engine that made incredible power in a very lightweight package. The bike was heavier than a YZ250 by nearly 30 lbs, but its fast revving 4 stroke engine had a much broader power range and was excellent at putting that power down in slippery conditions.
Over the years, the size of the engine increased as well as refinement of the entire package. The 400 became the 426 and later the 450, and in 2006 the YZ450F got a complete refresh centered around an all-new aluminum frame, new five-speed transmission, and new 449cc engine (which retained the titanium valves and five-valve head design).
Yamaha did not rest on their laurels for 2007 – that year they gave it a new clutch, new exhaust, wave rotors, new forged triple clamps, longer shock, new seat, and revised camshaft timing. Dirt Rider was a huge fan, saying that “the ’07 YZ450F has regained a nimble feel close to that of a 250cc-based bike with chassis updates and changes to the power character.”
