They have the best valve adjustment interval(and engineering) of the bunch. It's rock solid.

Re: 05' YZ450F any good?

7 out of my last 8 bikes have been current yamaha's(5 where yz, plus r6,r1) as long the oil changes where done and air filter done proberly ya carnt beat the yam's

keep clear of the handa's the carnt handle giving then a hard time, there fast and handle well, but there valves dont last. all the dudes i raced with loved the cr's but said there not worth the problems
