I keep reading that Yamaha is going to make the 05 YFZ a true 450 since the racing limits got bumped.
I really dont think they are going to do this ... they spent a lot of time and $$$ R&D'ing the YFZ's 439cc motor and it wouldnt make sense not to recoup some of that money. Look at their past history ... the YZ400F was around for 2 years and the YZ426F was around for 3 years before they were upgraded.
Also the replacement parts will cost them less if they have more years built with the 439. Im thinkin the YFZ will be a true 450 in the 2006 model year ... when the Suzuki 450 will be coming out.
10cc's isnt huge .... but its something. What do y'all think???
