2026 Yamaha YFZ450R SE 70th Anniversary

In commemoration of seven decades of motorsports excellence, Yamaha is proud to introduce the new 2026 YFZ450R SE 70th Anniversary Edition model. This model will come adorned in a modern take on Yamaha’s iconic white and red speed block livery popular in the late 1990’s –to- early 2000’s used on the YZ 4-stroke motocross bikes and R-Series superbikes. The graphics combined with the sleek, aggressive YFZ bodywork for a standout look sure to draw attention from those that admire Yamaha’s legacy in motorsports.

The YFZ450R is the most technologically advanced Sport ATV on the market today. It combines a high-tech, quick-revving, titanium-valved, 449cc fuel-injected engine with a lightweight, professional-caliber cast aluminum/steel chassis. The power and chassis combination makes for a championship-winning machine time and time again.

An assist-and-slipper clutch reduces clutch lever effort for less fatigue while at the same time increasing clutch plate pressure for positive engagement. This clutch system also reduces engine braking effect for faster cornering, particularly when downshifting.

The YFZ450R is motocross-ready. The weldless frame is designed from lightweight aluminum with a tension-steel bottom frame that lets the engine sit lower for excellent mass centralization. Suspension components and settings reduce weight while providing light, sharp handling and rider comfort.

Features may include:

• Race ready 449cc fuel-injected engine

• Lightweight frame made from aluminum and steel

• Long A-arm front suspension / Swingarm rear suspension

• KYB® High-Performance piggyback shocks

• Race inspired bodywork

• Inner lip rolled aluminum wheels wrapped in Maxxis® tires

• Iconic white and red speed block livery graphics
