This guy is a highly skilled rider and can make the most of the 450's strong engine. I am a competent novice, and did this same experiment and had opposite results, I was a little bit faster on the 250f. If you are just riding for fun, get the 250f.

I agree and I have less fatigue when riding a 250f. To me the only advantages to the 450f are being able to pull past your friends on a long straight away or in a drag race and doing kick a$$ power wheelies (on a long straight away) 🏁

I agree with this 100%. Easier to play around with different cornering methods and be consistent on the lower power bikes. However I am pretty interested in a 450 just because I won’t be as hard on the bike and hopefully get more longevity out of it.

Not surprised a top rider can go slightly faster on the 450. But I think most mortals will have a better and safer time ringing the neck of the 250. Also I think this video makes a good point as to why 350's are so popular now.

I know a 250 is faster in my type of tight bush riding. BUT I love the tractor of a 450 and you dont need to rev it to go places. A 450 you can still be low rpm and smash out a corner. A 250 needs a clutch blip or a downshift. My next ride will be a 350.

You are right about the 450 if the rider is up to it . I have raced both classes in the past and now retired from racing enjoy my 2021 WR250F because it’s light and doesn’t wear me out like a 450 will do . But pushing a 450 hard with a skilled rider will give you wins ! Most blokes can’t ride the 450 to it’s full potential and will get hosed by a WR250F.

You looked faster and more importantly comfortable on the 450 in my opinion mate the 250 seemed to struggle off the bottom a fair bit and unless you're a pro level rider it's harder to keep it in the power. I have a my19 WR450F it has the GYTR exhaust FMF muffler etc I actually went back to the OEM muffler and left the GYTR header pipe great combination it slightly detuned the bike even changed the intake sound probably due to more back pressure. not making it bark straight off the bottom made it heaps more fun to ride I found map 2 slightly detuned it a bit more and use it for extremely snotty hills I took the insert out of the muffler and now find it hard to falt. I was comparing the 2 myself and thought about downsizing to the 250 for deep bush riding or with the 250 and 450 being so similar maybe re sleeving it to a 350 now I'm waffling on 😅 great video thanks for sharing mate cheers Happy Trails oh I really like your riding style wish I could rail berms like you do 👌💣

I have two KTMs, identical year and chassis. 250 2 stroke and 450 4 stroke. Riding conditions like this on the 450 I feel like I'm riding sloppy, making mistakes, riding slow - and then the stop watch surprises me every time. I'm slower on the 450 but not by much at all. I think the 450 just makes up time out of every corner even if you feel like you're riding like crap. I find myself sitting a lot more on the 450 even if I try to avoid it - I noticed you did this too (rock garden). I stand 99% of the time on the 250. Ok, so the bikes feel different but have similar lap times. BUT the 450 is a work out to ride. My knees get chaffed from holding on which doesn't happen on the 250. It would be interesting for you to do a 2 hour harescramble on that loop on each bike and see which you find more enjoyable after doing that (a week or so apart of course!) I also think that the newer the rider, the tougher time they will have with a big bore. A new rider will learn better on a smaller bike and that will bring more speed for them.

I know where the stopwatch came out, but you looked so much more comfortable on the 250. Maybe you were tired when you got to the 450, but there is a big difference in your riding behavior on when approaching obstacles between the two bikes. On the 250, you were riding it, and one many occasions on the 450, it was leading you. Maybe your answer is that Yami needs to build a 350. :)

In addition, I also rode a WR250F, back-to-back. The 250 felt like it could the same things and more than the 450, although albeit with much less power, but still very fun also. I'm torn between the 2 as they're both the same price. Hilarious, hooliganish fun at the expense of fine control in the tight, stuff? Or sure-fire all-around weapon, at the expense of high-speeds on the road (and fast trails)?

Owned both and the 450's are way faster but when on a track or trail it's a bit different because the 450 throws you around more and the 250 well is just easier to ride on tracks and trail's which could result in a faster track or trail time with the 250. In saying that I've also owned the YZ 125 two stroke and can honestly say it's lighter and faster on tracks and about the same on trails and I'm nearly 40yrs old and ridden my whole life and owned just about every dirt bike amaginable and honestly had more fun on the 250 four stroke and 125 two stroke. It's really all in how you ride.

Do any of you folks know if the Aussie WR's are the same WR's that we get in the US? What we get in the US are fairly choked-up, i.e... throttle stop, filter snorkel, milder ECU settings, etc.. I realize all this can be addressed with GYTR or other aftermarket companies, i'm just curious. @ARieman1, awesome dirt/terrain on your property mate. What a killer place to ride!

Our WR's also come heavily restricted and have indicators, mirrors horn etc but all that can easily be removed for off-road use

I noticed the boot ruts as well, awesome flog session for the boys in blue. Great real world comparo/ content. Setting the testing standard for dirt bikes on this clip, stop watch does not lie. Did miss ye old CR, probably would of put a dent in that 450 shine.

I cut that loop in with the CR and the first time I did with it was a 7-minute flat. Not sure I'd be quicker on the two-stroke but it could be worth a try ...

One criticism is you did the laps on the 250 first. If you got dialled in on the 450 first then you might have been quicker on the 250 than you were. Not faster than the 450 but quicker than you did on the 250. Also, the worn in track, ruts, small berms etc favour the big motor. It's on rails. A new track that's not well worn, that you don't know, especially if it's technical, will favour the 250 more

I have the 450 and I’ve ridden a 250 in similar terrain and I felt faster on the 250. I love the down low grunt of the 450 too much to change though. I wish there was a WR350!

Excellent it’s a question if been wondering about like many others I am sure, I had an older 250 RM 2 strokes then I bought a CRF 450 which was really torquey but seemed heavy compared to the old 250 so I sold the 450 and bought a CRF250 and it was not much lighter but just didn’t feel as good as the torquer 450 so I sold the CRF250. Now I have a project ATK406 and I would like a 450 again.

You might wanna go research the weight difference, there isnt one, you`re saying so cause idiots have said so, so you believe it. A few kilos is no difference. The old bikes have a big weight difference & by old i mean bikes built in the 70`s.

For trail riding, I think is no difference, but on steep and longer hillclimb the 250 may be too weak? I have a 300 2 stroke and pulls like tractor, when my fiend with exc-f 250 struggle to climb with downshifting to first gear I can gain speed with 3rd. For the higher torque at lower rpm, I would love to buy some day this wr450 model.

the 450 makes more sense. lots of benefit compared to the 250 . the little initial cost difference pays for its self right out the box, and is enough to keep you from wanting to go to a bigger power bike like you would over long term with the 250 . you get 2x the HP and torque from the 450 , and that will also carry to aftermarket where you'll pay the same, but get half the gain with the 250 compared to the 450 gains . 5 seconds per lap on a tight course like that is pretty substantial . im older also and looking into my first new bike in years , and think ill end up with a new 2023 WR450F .

That's true. the big difference is the tq between the two and how much earlier it makes that tq than the 250. Both are great machines tho. Most still believe they're both better Enduro bikes than the Austrian variants.

I went to a beta demo day at the beginning of April and the 350rr race edition was my favorite bike they had there so I can definitely believe that. Idk if it's worth the premium over a 250fx tho.

My buddy had the wr250 and it's real slow when compared to my crf250r but they are meant for different types of riding. However his bike handles soooooo well that I'm actually able to ride his faster than I can mine because on the wr I feel way more confident.
