We didn’t get any copy from the builder, but you can tell by the photos of the craftsmanship put into this Honda CR500AF is awesome.

EDITORS NOTE: Please keep those submissions coming. If you would like your bike to be featured in the “Two-Stroke or Four-Stroke Spotlight,” please email me at [email protected]. All I ask is that you give a breakdown of your bike and a detailed description of the build. Please also send a few photos of your steed. By submitting your bike, you agree to release all ownership rights to the images and copy to MXA. Please don’t email me spam or try selling me Taylor Swift concert tickets or email me spam. I already celebrate T-Swizzle’s entire collective, and there will be “bad blood” if you send me junk mail. See what I did there? Happy submitting your smoker.

2020 YAMAHA YZ450 INTRO

We got our hands on the 2020 Yamaha YZ450F at Milestone Raceway. We have to keep tight-lipped about the other details about the bike that we didn’t know before hand until next Friday the 23rd as we have an embargo to abide by. But that doesn’t mean we can’t show you a little bit of what went on. Here is what we are allowed to tell you about the 2020 Yamaha YZ450F.

Travis Preston was a big part of the R&D of this bike. He filled us in on the ins and out in a technical video that we are releasing next Friday as well.

Josh getting comfortable on the updated YZ450F.

Getting the rear end to come around.

And lastly Josh bottomed out from a jump that wasn’t really supposed to be a jump
