One misaton.
h is is where Ihe YZ experience
begins. And Ihe moment you swing
your leg over a YZBD™, you become
pari of a sloried hislory. Wilh a legacy
lined with viclories much like its legendary
bigger YZ brethren, the YZBD has made a
habit of dominalingprelly much
everything Ihal has anything 10 do wilh
Ihe mini clas s. And, of cours e, experls
have been quick 10 chime in with their own
praise, mosl recently crowning il Ihe 19 9 8
"BD of the Year" and "BDcc Molocross Shooloul"
winner. Can'l really say we 're surprised,
though. Afler all, from i~s lorquey liquid-cooled
B3cc single and smoolh-shifling six-speed
gearbox 10 ils race-bred frame, ultra-slrong
brakes and fully adjuslable suspension, Ihe
YZBD is Ihe mini-racer of choice for Ihose
serious abul winning. And if you're going 10
kick off your career aboar d a YZBD, you
bell er be prepared 10 slarl
doing thai alai.

Doug Henry delivered a
crushing blow 10 Ihe SX world two years ago
by spanking Ihe enlir e field aboard his fa clory YZM4DD
four-slroke al Ihe '97 Supercross finale in Las Vegas. We
couldn ' l have wished for a be ller s howcas e for Ihe
dominating, slale-of-Ihe-art lechnology found on whal's now
our produclion YZ4DDF™-a bike Ihal prell y much swepl
19 9 B Bike of Ihe Year honors. With ils ullra shorl-slroke , 5valve , l or qu e - p a ck e d powerp lanl, "w or k s - s l yl e" KYB
suspension and race-bred YZ chassis, th ere's simply no bike
like il. Cycle News called il "one of Ihe mosl exhilaraling
productio n race bikes on Ihe plane I," while Dirl Bik e
Ma gazine hailed Y
amaha as havin g "r a is ed malocross 10 a

"definilely Ihe Bike of the Year, maybe Ihe decade." Well, Ihal
hard-hilling, all-world package has jusl become even more
polenl, as Ih e ' 9 9 YZ4DDF gels a newly r e d esi gn e d,

lighler, stronger rear hub and Excel rims; new Dunlop 739s,'
and a larger rear brake disc. The good news? Enhanced
handling and finer-Iuned overall performance 10 make Ihe
"world's grealesl four-slroke" Ihal much more unsloppable.
