hi! So here's the situation....
Tried out my dad's CRF450X and his 450 KTM over the weekend for the first time, coming from a KDX200.
We are deciding if we should keep the CRF or not (he replaced it with the KTM)... it is more bike than I need, that's for sure. But what a ride, thing tugs hard! Would take some getting used to and yeah the feel of a 4 stroke is way diff than 2 stroke.
I am almost 5'5", about 125 pounds, yes I am a girl haha so that's why those figures are like that.
Been on a bike all my life, national champion for biketrials for a few years, stuff like that, and I did enjoy it....BUT... how much trouble am I getting into with this bike?

got to agree with xr100 on this one. try to trade it for a 250f or sell it to buy a 250f/x/wr
unless your skills are very advanced your size would be better on a smaller bike.

hmmmm yeah I dunno. We are definitely keeping the KDX just cuz it's been a good bike, so it'll stay in the family. But I don't know if I could go back to it now after the 450.
I've never been on a 250f so I guess I wouldn't know the differences.

Yea, When I was younger and about your size I rode a CR 500 and was hooked by the power, but soon realized I would get smoked on the trails because the thing was so damn heavy I couldn't throw it around. Those CRF 450's are a little heavy.
