Yamaha Monster Motocross Team for the 2008 season,
Yamaha will be releasing a very limited number of
2009 specification YZ450F Yamaha Motocross Team Replica

During 2008, the Yamaha Monster Motocross Team has
proved to be the most competitive outfit, and on Sunday
14th September, David Philippaerts won the MX1 world
championship in his first season on the factory YZ450FM.
Despite an early season injury, Josh Coppins secured
a strong 5th place overall in the MX1 series, making
it a memorable season for the team.
As well as being the leading force in MX1, the Yamaha
