Dirt Bike Help ? ? ?

Question

i was looking at buying a new dirt bike. either a crf250r or a crf450. brand new. i have a ktm 125sx and can ride it rly good. i have road a 250f before and wanted more. i was wondering how much more power a 450 has over a 250. aswell as speed too. also i have been riding fer 2 years. wat would be a better bike for me to get. im 5'11 and weight 120 pounds.

Answer 1

thats 2 totally diff class bikes. Once you go to the big boy you wont go back. The smaller one is more fun, the larger more serious. Your at a point that you could go either way. Ask the dealer to let you test ride the bike in the lot, if he wont, he might not be the right dealer.

Answer 2

well a crf450 isnt a bike to mess around with, especially at 120 pounds. Dont get a bike because you "think" you can handle it.

Answer 3

the 450 has more power then the 250 by a lot but it depends on who you are if one of you friends has a 250 then ride that a little and test drive the 450 see witch one you like more personally i would go with the 250  

Answer 4

I grew up on 2 strokes from a 125 all the way to my KX500 ( I still ride it) but after riding a couple of my friends 450's I was sold. Yeah I don;t like adjusting the valves but once I got the knack down it's pretty simple now days if I compare it to a piston and ring job on my KX. I mean maintenance is maintenance, you either do it and your bike lasts and performs the way it's supposed to or you just ride it and well,  all know what happens when you go that route ;)

In my book you'll love the fours over the 2's.
