2014 Yamaha YZ450F Pics/Photos/Images/WallpaperFor the first time since 2010, Yamaha has updated its top motocross machine, the YZ450F.
For 2014, Yamaha has upgraded its YZ450F by increasing horsepower and optimizing the dirt bike’s chassis.Starting without the 449.7cc engine, Yamaha completely revised the top end (piston, intake and exhaust valves, and ports, valve mechanism, ignition timing, and fuel injection mapping) for better performance throughout the powerband. Yamaha also revamped the bike’s ECU.As for the chassis, Yamaha added a newly-designed, aluminum Bilateral Beam frame. The head pipe on the new frame is moved 10mm closer to the rider, though the overall dimensions are about the same as the 2013 YZ450F.This gives the YZ450F a new compact chassis that provides the most instinctive handling in the 450 motocross class, Yamaha says.Attached above is a photo gallery of the 2014 Yamaha YZ450F, which features 20 images that also make for great wallpaper.

Hello everyone and welcome once again to Motos and Friends, the weekly podcast brought to you by Ultimate Motorcycling. My name is Arthur Coldwells.
Motos and Friends is brought to you by Yamaha. You can check out the amazing YZF-R7 at your local Yamaha dealer, or of course at YamahaMotorsports.com. The YZF-R7 is an amazing supersport machine that is comfortable too!
In this week’s first segment, Editor Don Williams takes the smallest BMW ADV bike on an urban adventure in Los Angeles. The BMW G 310 GS is a full size motorcycle with a modest engine, so of course we wonder if it is a little too underpowered and might struggle. Don put it through its paces and gives us his take.
In the second segment, Neale Bayly and Kiran Ridley have returned from the Ukraine to Paris where Kiran is based.
Kiran is an award winning photojournalist, and as an accomplished documentarian, he has covered stories as diverse as drug smuggling around the Mexican border, to the devastation of the Australian Bush Fires, to the tragedy of the Mediterranean migration crisis. Neale and Kiran reminisce about their motorcycle adventure in the Ukraine, and their observations and experiences with the incredibly resilient people of Ukraine, who have been put through such brutal hardship.
