Will Yamaha Respond to Pure Sport Competition?

Will Yamaha’s stranglehold on the Pure Sport market be undermined by the arrival of the KFX 450R and the DS 450?

No doubt, Yamaha has been diligent about protecting its enormous share in the Pure Sport biz evidenced by the updating of the original YFZ450 two years ago.

With so much new iron arriving in the Pure Sport segment we look for Yamaha to shore-up its key models in response to the competition – particularly the hugely successful YFZ450.
