OK GUYS.. first of all the technowledgy these days are so ledgit that all these bikes are like the same thing now... 20 years ago yes they were totally different from each other.. i ride a yamaha wr250f 09... and that thing rides really great.. honda feels like the same thing... they have like the same torque palis... and they go about the same speeds...they both have style and the looks... the onely thing i noticed about yamaha is that there technowledy is up to date for instence: the tripmeter
i agree, i think the only difference maybe the gearing ratios. like on the honda 3rd gear might be a little taller than on the yamaha, but i dont know, its just the matter of personal prefrance. but hondas better : )
It all depends on your riding experience, where you ride, and your riding style. If you're a conservative rider in wide open areas, you can probably handle it. If you're one that likes to push the limits or if this is your first dirt bike experience all together, definitely not.. I switched to the Honda 450 after owning a Z400 for several years and never had any problems.
If you're more of a general beginner, DEFINITELY choose a 250F, then work your way up.
You won't be disappointed with a Honda. They aren't the highest quality bike out there, but they are affordable, drop dead reliable and durable, and there is a good lineup of models for most any rider. At your height and weight, I would recommend an XR 650, but if you want to ride tight technical stuff, the 450 would suit you better with some suspension mods.
Yeh i have the 06 450x with megabomb header and fmf carbon fiber muffler, airbox mods, i also put an r cam in it and ported it out, board it out to a 525 and now it rips. im only 15 and weigh 145 so its crazy with me on it!!!
yo i dont get about this hole nnot doing well at slow speeds i got mine dialed in perfect it wus just a bit stiff at first before i turned the compresion down
yeah i have a 06 aswell and i havnt found anyone on any vehicle that can beat me off the lights. your arms get a little fucked after riding it tho because its always pulling u to the back of the seat. a very fun bike to show off on :P
It's not built foe street, but I did get a dual sport kit for my '06,and it does just fine. If you go that route try lowering the gears a bit so you can cruise without winding it up too much. It is fun to blow away everyone at a green light too...
Why u say I stupid bitch, cuz I white and like to be racist caveman bigot like u r and am really hardcore and ride my yzf450r cuz they r the best like u said, and one day I wish i culd be as stupid and racist as u r and ride hardcore dirtbike off 50 foot jump and doing backflip u probably do cuz ur really hardcore n shit especially with a name like Whitepridefighter666.
Bitch u probably wuld cuz ur so badass n shit with a nam elike Whitepridefighter666, one day im gunna be as hardcore as u and call thingz bitch all the tyme and race dirtbike hardcore and shoot at people who arnt white cuz were hardcore like that XXxxxXXxxxXXtreme.
whoop my ass on your quad? haha um, last time i checked, the crf450 was like 200 lbs lighter than any 450 quad, so shut the fuck up. i have an xr250 and it keeps right up with my buddies trx450, if i had a crf450 id be smoking him.
What a huge idiot. WPfighter probably only "fights" in the local paintball kkklub, and doesn't even know what a CRF 450x is. Do you know that the AK/AKM's you TOOLS are holding aren't made in America? Your camo is probably made in China too. schnuper450- kudos to you for treating this chcahi like the ridiculus ahole inbred fascist he/she is. Ride in peace everyone.
This person is really entertaining! They can't spell or use punctuation, and don't really seem to have a sense of anything beyond insulting everyone. I'll bet that in real life he/she isn't so tough unless he/she has their paintball possee in tow. What a loser. What a chump. What a waste of space. I love that I can get a rise out of a triple k mo-fo so easily. Have a nice day a-hole!
i agree with that 100% honda made such a terrible 2-stroke these past few years and even down to the late 80's, yamaha has the best name for two strokes out there but still havent really fine tuned their 4 strokes to perfection, bots extremely good brands but they still cant be all perfect
every bike has its good points and its bad.. so all you people who are diehard brand bitches.. STFU.. im tired of reading it every time i watch a video.. just enjoy what you have! If everyone drove the same dirtbike.. it would be so boring the sport would die out. I drive a 250 2-stroke and wouldnt trade it for anything! :) So no matter what you drive, as long as you have something just ride it!
Yeah, the CRF is way too fast! It is way too much bike! It was made for power junkies........like me! I wouldn't own any other japanese motocross bike. I'll always Ride Red!
I have one of these things an i swear down its for sale. its power delivery is just too much in the first three gears, 4th is just min 50mph an you just cant use that anywhere in england off road. crf450 = not useable power = posers toy only. soz
Can anyone tell me why the new CRF450X's face plate is smaller and does not cover the tripmeter?. . . . . . Is it because it has the new steering damper mechanism?
Weight is the only problem with electric start. 30# on the 250. I love the X models because when you crash you're not kicking the piss out of it. I like the handling and the skinny feeling of the R model though.
