It’s here, it’s here!!!

The all-new 2010 YZ450F.

The baddest new motocross machine is finally here: the 2010 Yamaha YZ450F. What’s new? Way too much to list here, but here are the biggest headliners:

- All-new “reversed,” rearward slanted, 450cc, four-stroke engine
- Engine is now fuel-injected and airbox is located where fuel tank used to be
- All-new “Tornado” exhaust system. Features resonator on header pipe to lower sound
- All-new swingarm
- All-new bilateral beam frame
- All-new plastics and styling

Be sure to check out yamaha-motor.ca for complete details on the 450F and all of our new 2010 models.

The Doctor is in! For 2010, Moto GP fans can have the same – looking – YZF-R1 as Valentino Rossi.

 
But if you’re looking for something a little more comfortable, a little more suited to leisurely road trips, then you may want to check out the all-new Stratoliner Deluxe. It’s luxury on wheels! (And it comes “Cowbell” approved!)

   Well I must say it is kind of funny to see Yamaha Canada and Yamaha USA put the pictures of the 2010 Venture S and Venture with the CB attenae on the wrong side again this year. Does Yamaha not know which side the attenaes are supposed to be on?

   Thanks for the comment Rod. You are absolutely correct that the Ventures in the photos (shot by our friends in the south) have the Antennae switched. I cannot tell you why they may have done that. Maybe we have to give them “artistic licence?” I will pass the (good natured) ribbing along and we’ll try to get it right for 2011.
   Cheers,

   Last year(2008) I went shopping for a new bike. My first choices were a FJ1300, not in the store and could not try it so pass. Second choice, 660 Tenere, not sold in Canada, third choice WR 450, no, you cannot have that.
   I ended up buying a BMW R1200RT for the same price as the FJ after a full demo. Lots more equipment,more room and comfort no heat issues and better warranty.
   It is really tough being a yamaha fan in Canada.
   cheers

   That’s unfortunate, Simon. Yamaha dealers are typically very generous in offering demo rides and chances to try out our motorcycles. We even have our Power Tour that travels all over Canada with a truckload of various models for enthusiasts to experience our latest and greatest. Anyhoo, while we’d love to see you on the team, we’re still happy to hear another person is enjoying their two wheel passion. That’s what it’s all about, riding!
