@JackoTheMonkey this would not be a good bike to start out on at all. it is very tall, and pushing out almost 60 hp. thats way too much power for the shy or un experienced. i would recommend something more in the lines of a trail bike for you. crf230 or something.
@JackoTheMonkey I ride a CRF230f and it's a great bike and all but I also have a CRF20x and I like the 250 wayy better. The 230 is fun for a little but it eventually gets a but underpowered. And like you I am 15 so it would probably be okay for you. As long as you don't gun it and crack your head open. And eventually you can move up to this bike like me.
@JackoTheMonkey 15 years old and you haven't ridden in 10 years? Haha... sorry man, that's just funny. For your own safety, you should consider yourself on the same riding skill level as someone who has never ridden a dirtbike before. I'm not sure how tall you are, but if you are over 5-7 or 5-8, you could maybe get a Honda XR250, but they are kinda tall bikes.... or if you're shorter, you could get a Yamaha TTR125 or a Honda CRF230F, or try to find an old used 125cc 2-stroke.
@defjourney1 oh yeah, change the oil every 4 hours of riding kinda thing. exact same motor as the 450, besides the bore and the structure of the crank. you hop on a steel frame yz450 then hop on a yz426f, you wont feel much difference if any. ive passed 450`s on this.
@Tiddler19 hey is there any racin bike that dosnt need rebuilding god damn man that shit gets old spent 2k this year on a crf250r, how about those ktm 525s they any good
@defjourney1 any bike out there requires work at some point, the ktm's are great, they dont exactly last longer. but the two stroke ktm's noticeably last longer. the 525 is in my opinion the toughest motor built by ktm. im planning on getting the ktm 525xc quad.
@redhondaluv ..... its just a stock exhaust pipe with a stock tip. i know on the 400's they have the tube style bend tip. but both pipes are the same, you can either find the tip or just switch pipes.
its a 2009 FLU (face lift unlimited) TS1 full graphics kit. i knew i would kick myself in the ass for selling it. i had almost 8k into that bike. now im selling my 03 RX-1 just so i can go buy another motocross bike.
3500 for a rebuild. 2000 for a new one from yamaha.

@Tiddler19 how would a yz426f get 10 more horsepower than a 450??? 450's have around 49-50
fistpumpguido 1 year ago
@fistpumpguido this one is not stock, but stock they pull anywhere from 50-55hp stock. a stock 450 has around 55.

@JackoTheMonkey no this bike would be terrible to learn on. at the most you would want a 250f
