That's the real question and the only one that counts when discussing which bike is better than the other. I personally don't believe so.

Then you disagree with Rossi. This is getting stupid. In his book Rossi claims the Honda was clearly superior to the Yamaha in every way, going so far as to claim the Honda was "perfect." Anyone claiming the Yamaha was as good as the Honda is showing they care more about proving their argument than about the truth. One of the main reasons he moved to Yamaha was to prove that his success wasn't dependent on the bike i.e., he could win on an inferior bike.
