Is it a waste to buy a 450 (4-stroke) if you know you are not going to use all its potential?

Question

If you don't race motocross / super cross, should you get 450, or are you better off getting something smaller like a 250 (4-stroke)?

Answer 1

No, as long as you use it a lot and have a lot of fun with it it's not a waste at all. You don't have to race to own a nice bike

Answer 2

i have a yz250f and it has enough power for me but you would be better off with a 250 it has good power lighter than a 450 and will probably be cheaper, but you should get a 450 to have some power on reserve

Answer 3

with out a question its a waste

the 450 is 1k more than the 250, and the 250 has plenty of power as it is. so unless your getting the 450 just to say u have one dont do it.

Answer 4

If you are a trail rider the 250 will be way easy to throw around...The 450 will be heavy...I would go for the 250 100%

If you grab a handfull of throttle on that 450 you will know it...Lots and lots of power..
