Yamaha YZ450F 2021

Yamaha YZ450F 2021

A visually very appealing and cool Mx bike which is technically delivered at the latest state! Not for nothing Yamaha uses the slogan "Welcome to the VictorYZone"! The engines are very powerful and can be individually adjusted to each rider via the Yamaha app via WLAN interface. The app is even available for download free of charge. With the KYB suspensions, you are ready to float on cloud nine from the hallowed halls of the Yamaha dealers. We had a lot of fun on the 2020 Yamaha models and recommend a test ride to all Mx riders!
