Transmoto was recently given the opportunity to ride Yamaha’s new 2016 YZ450F at the Aussie launch, staged at Cessnock Motorcycle track in New South Wales. Check out some of our favourite images from the event.

^ Transmoto wanted feedback from guys who actually buy Yamaha bikes. We asked Darren Lamb, AKA Lamby, to give us his feedback. He said the 2016 YZ450F powerful and great for pulling long wheelies. Photo: Phil Osborn
^ Lamby also said he loved how the YZ450F turned. He created a special map to smooth out the power and make it easier for him to ride. Photo: Jeff Crow
^ Lamby’s partner is a big Yamaha fan as well. Photo: Phil Osborn
^Lamby felt confident riding the YZ450F. “Loads of power, so you have to respect it, but it’s a fun bike to ride,” he said. Photo: Jeff Crow
^ Lamby has a YZ450F tattoo. We reckon he’s a good judge of the new YZ450F as he has owned loads of them. Photo: Phil Osborn
