Honda's won Baja for like 14 years in a row now in the moto class

Also Joel Hetrick was winning ATV nationals on a Honda 450R (that's been our of production for 8 years) now before Phoenix switched to Yamaha due to parts availability.

It was a (mostly) good year for Yamaha in motorsports. Not only Gagne in MA, but Bradley Ray in British superbike making it 2 in a row for Yamaha. And the R1 in general seems like the all-around bike in superbike racing.
Ducati got the WSBK title away from Toprak on the Yamaha...but Bautista is, as someone put it, a "midget on a rocket" with the Ducati (not to mention being an incredibly talented rider), and Toprak was really the only guy who could run with him. None of the other Ducati riders were all that close.

Outside of that, I can't really comment, but Yamaha makes a damn good product.

I’ve had plenty of both as well. If you take care of them they are all good but I’ve never noticed one is better than the other. Just depends on your wants at the time

I'd agree both honda and Yamaha are good machines. Imo there the only options. Yamaha has always been technologically ahead of honda but when my better riding more powerful Yamaha machine began to show there age and abuse I had to fall back on good old trusty honda. I will say the late model hondas are not what my old air cooler equipment is but I have yet in 6k miles to have to walk away from my pioneer.

There is a world of quality difference between Japan Honda products and American Honda products.

The Japanese have leaned that Americans are willing to sacrifice quality for price.

They stopped selling Honda lawn tractors in the U.S. in the mid 90's because sears was out selling them 100 to 1.
