2009 Yamaha Wolverine 450
The Wolverine 450 is by far the sportiest 4×4 we’ve ever produced. With the bulletproof liquid cooled 450cc engine right out of the Kodiak, on command 4 wheel drive, sport radial tires and agressive looks, this Wolverine is designed for the true sport exploring enthusiast.
Looking for a little more sport in your mid-size 4×4 ATV, without sacrificing terrain-ability?
One that has on-command 4wd for those moments when you need serious traction, but handles more like a sport bike in 2wd. Well look no further. The Wolverine 450 sets the standard for sport exploring.
