@@robby8972 I'm not saying nobody needs a 450. Some people are just naturally good on a bike. But I think the average guy that goes out and rides trails and a track once in a while will be just fine on a 250. I own a crf250r and a kx450f and I'm around 230lbs. I ride the 250 most of the time because it has plenty of power for the riding I do but not so much that I'm just trying to keep the bike under control and forgetting all about proper technique. I take the 450 out when I'm in the dunes or if I just feel like riding around on a monster that day. But I really think that most average people can't even ride a 250 to it's potential even if they are larger. The bikes are the same size. The only difference is a little bit of weight between the 2 and one has way more power. Some people do need a 450 I suppose.

@@viperracing2889 imma be real for our weight go with the 450! For my trail bike I had to buy the EXCF500 because the 350 just wasn’t enough power on some of the technical trails out here. Although I’m big, I do ride real aggressive (wheelies out of turns, jumping whoop sections, blowing up burms) so I definitely use all of my power I even use map 2 a lot for that extra initial pull to get my weight moving. But if you are more of a casual rider then the 250 with exhaust maybe different sprocket ration and you’ll be money with a nice top end snap but half way through that gear you’ll definitely feel how a 450 pulls way longer then a 250. Either way great bikes and for our weight to get a great suspension set up be ready to spend a couple thousand. I will be spending $2300 on my suspension next month(I could go cheaper but I don’t do cheap on a bike that has to support 270 pounds landing hard)
