Hey Guys-

I'm going back and forth on a new 08 TRX450 purchase. How does this machine compare to say a 09/10 yfz450? I know everyone will have their preferences but I'm wondering since the 08 TRX is already 3 years old how well it comes to the newer models? Does the lack of FI hurt the machine compare to others?

Also, I have a chance to pick one up about a 2 1/2 drive from my house for $500 cheaper than a dealer 2 secs from my house who is already "blowing them" out. My local dealer is selling them for 4199 plus 300 set-up, misc +tax. Comes out to be around $5050 OTD. Same out of the crate 08 elec start 2+ hours away is $4545 OTD. The one farther away has all 3 colors and my local one just the red one. You guys think it is worth it for the drive to save the extra money?

Anyone have the black/blue flames model? Never seen it in person but it looks pretty cool on line

Any comments and opinions are appreciated!
THANKS

Thanks for the welcomes!!

As far as the decision goes, does anyone know if an 09 YFZ450R is worth $800 more than an 08 TRX450R? That's basically what my decision consists of now. The same dealership has them and they are $800 apart on price and one model year apart. The only thing that puts me off about the Hondas is that they are already 3 years old before they even leave the store compared to the YfZ who remained unchanged from the 09 model in 10.

Any thoughts?
