[QUOTE="Coop37, post: 681465, member: 20069"] The aluminum frame that Yamaha makes we be far more advanced than Honda will ever be able to make because Yamaha has a patent on a new form of aluminum casting which removes almost all the air bubbles is the casting process, there for the casting can be made much thinner and stronger. We have already seen this cast process on the swingarms of the new yz's. The frame that Honda is building is heavier than the metal frame on the yz450? so Yamaha knows that the only way to make it lighter than metal is to use this new process. so the frame that Yamaha builds will be way different than Honda's, most likely the frame will act much like the metal frames now on the Yamaha's, that are far superior to the Honda aluminum frames.
