YFZ450R Special Edition |
The all new 2009 Yamaha YFZ450R was just added
to the sport ATV model lineup this past September
with its all new high performance engine with
EFI, wide arc long travel a-arms, hybrid aluminum
/ steel frame, and many more race inspired features.
Now with the release of the YFZ450R SE, a few
more bells and whistles are released, which
will make removing the fenders quicker and easier
than ever. Yamaha YFZ450R SE fenders are mounted
the with metal, quick releasing, Zeus Clips,
which makes fender removal a breeze, and the
good news is that they will also be available
for purchase for the standard YFZ450R models
for those that might want to make the switch
from bolts.

YFZ450R SE comes with Zues style clips
fasteners for quicker fender removal without
any tools |
The YFZ450R SE
also comes with a Bull Horn style GYTR
aluminum bumper for added protection up
front |
The YFZ450R SE also comes in stealth black
and includes a new black powder coated bullhorn
bumper. Its bold and aggressive look is sure
to turn heads. Although the new YFZ450R SE is
not yet available at local dealerships, Yamaha
promises the wait will not be long.

Yamaha Raptor 700R SE with its Red Marbleized
painted front hood, Red Trans frame paired
with black fenders is a real head turner |
The higher-strung YFZ450R SE may not have hit the
showroom floors as of yet, but its bigger sibling,
the Raptor 700R SE has been spotted at a few local
dealerships already. The 2009 Raptor 700R SE utilizes
the same digital meter that was incorporated into
the new front cowl design of the 2009 Raptor 700R,
which includes a speedometer, dual trip meters,
odometer, a clock, warning indicators, and also
features full diagnostic capabilities. The 700R
SE model also has the same plush suspension and
more comfortable ergonomics that were introduced
in the 700R and the same powerful 686cc motor.
The SE also comes with GYTR heel guards and front
bumper. What’s really noticeable on the
2009 Raptor 700R SE is a daring new color scheme.
A deep red metallic frame is set off with black
plastics and a cool looking dark red, marbled
hood adds a dynamic accent to the front of the
quad.
