I'm deciding whether to get a 2009 Kawasaki KX 250F, or a 2009 Kawasaki KX 450F...

The price difference is not of any concern to me - all I care about is the performance and ride quality...

I am 6"1 and 200 lbs - so I'm a pretty big guy - which is why I'm worried about getting the 250...

I am not sure which one to get because both have their pros and cons:

The 250 is more maneuverable and easier to handle (as far as i know), but I'm not sure how well it will perform with an above average size guy (me) riding it...

The 450 has all the power I could want, but would I be sacrificing maneuverability and handling by getting the 450?


Any advice would be greatly appreciated...

Oh, and I'll be doing a lot of different styles of riding - super cross, trail, a bit of enduro, etc... So I do require a certain amount of versatility...

And I'd just like to say now that I'm not really interested in getting a 250 2 stroke - I used to love 2 strokes, but i'm just a bit tired of the sound and having to ring the neck of the bike to keep it from bogging out...

Thanks...
