Unless you want the YZ just to have a vintage Yamaha (or you are a masocist), I'd chose something - just about anything else.

Does that last bit include Hondas first generation of CR490s or whatever they were? They were apparently... Very interesting to ride.

Maybe the ancient four stroke can ams would be a good alternative

The Honda CR 450s were crude, the 480s a definite improvement.

I've heard that parts for the YZ 490 are drying up while, even now, you can buy new Maico based evolution class race bikes from companies like Maico Only and Wulfsport.
