We've touched down in Maryland for the First Ride (review to come) of the new-for-2010 Yamaha YZ450F. There's a number of things to touch on with this new model, which we'll get to soon. We can tell you that the bike is impressive, and radically different — but that's all we'll give you for now. First we thought we'd give you a glimpse at what this track looks like from behind the Pro Tapers.

Take a lap with our new test rider Joel Nelson around this world famous race facility and tell us what YOU want to know about this new model.

A key part to this whole new bike intro is applying your own set of numbers. Shown here, fellow journos and test riders apply their favorite digits.

Our new test rider Joel rips, plain and simple. Look for more pictures of his mug in the near future.
