Yamaha released (or rather IMO RE-Released) the YFZ 450 carb model. They still offer the EFI'd YFZ450R/X but they brought back the Carbureted model that most of us have.
So get this.... its cheaper (yea right $6,799) and has a couple different components... biggest is they took off the FCR carb and put on a Mikuni. Then they took off the reservoir shocks and replaced them with KYB "High Quality" fronts and rear, basically back to where they were when the YFZ was first released. Also threw in a different Cam for more low end vs top end. They are marketing this as the "new" recreational rider machine and not for racers. But ooh...they added a free graphics kit and new tires for it!

I wonder how big of a cock the Mikuni carb will suck.  Probably a big one.

You'd be a Libertarian too if you knew what one was.
