CRF 250R, CRF 450R, XR 400, XR250 Help plzz!?

Question

ok me and my brother go riding @ gordons well sand dunes 8-9 times a year. ive noticed tht my bike (2003 Honda XR 250) is heavy and underpowered. and my borthers bike (2001 Honda XR 400) is very heavy and hard to manuver quickly. plus my brother isnt the smallest of people (6'4, 190 lbs.) ive been doing some research and it seems tht the honda CRF 250R would be a good bike for me since im smaller(5'11, 155 lbs.) i was also thinking tht the Honda CRF 450R would be a good bike for my brother. On tto the piont, am i making a good choice??? r there other bikes we should look at??? suggestions???

Answer 1

RMZ450 is the way to go light nimble

Answer 2

Yes, you are making a very good choice. It really doesn't matter whether it is Honda, Yamaha, etc. Definitely a 250F for you. Your brother is right on the fence. I am about his same weight and race a 250F but in the sand he may need that extra power. I also ride a YZ250 2 stroke and a CRF450R pretty often. The 450 does have a lot of power but it is easily managed, the big benefit of a 4 stroke. I don't care for 2 strokes in the sand.

Answer 3

i think u will be cool on a 250f ure brother probebly would be as well but as he is a big lad what about a 250 two stroke more power than the 250f but less weight than the 450f. as far as other bikes any of the following brands are worth having

yamaha,honda,kawasaki,suzuki,ktm,husqu...

Answer 4

yea they are good choices but you should try the yamaha's out.

try they yz250f and the yz450f. I think you will like them a lot more

i know i did

Answer 5

I'm 6'3' and 180lbs.  I planning on getting a YZ250F.  Or in other words a Yamaha 250 four stroke.  I've done the utility yamaha atvs and they are just awesome but now I want some air and tighter turns. So a 250 for you two would be awesome enough Four strokes have more power but are easier to manuever so enjoy and ride hard!

Answer 6

dude get urself a YZ-250 2-stroke

and get ur brother a YZ-450 4-stroke

Answer 7

for yours weith the CRF 450 is to big & to hard, this motorcicle is a beast, "warning" it bite...i think, that for you & your brother the CRF 250 is really enough...

Answer 8

XR's are not good bikes for riding in sand dunes lmfao. These bikes are sick. Great choice. You'll be able to handle the power.
