Which 250F/450F is best?

[justin_yfz450]

Hey! I was wanting your guys opinions. Which 2004-2006 Manufacterer has the best 250F and 450F dirbikes?

[Nick110]

250f= 2006 Honda

450f= 2006 Kawi

[zeppelin]

250f= kx250f/yz250f
450f=yz450f/cr450f

kawys bikes just started to get acceptable again this year, but the def do not have the BEST bikes

[trx400exxracer]

kawasaki

[nowukno]

Kawasaki IMO. :)

[rmz250]

Kawasaki has the best 250f/450f...the '06 yz450f is nice though.

[Tommy 17]

Def CRFs... u don't see almost everyone whos a non factory rider on them for no reason;)

like aniheim... the 1st heat was like 7:1 ratio of honda to the others...

[TRX400EX02]

From what I've heard........Yamaha YZ250F and Kawasaki KX450F

Kawasaki owns both classes this year. The KX450F is amazing! The 06 250F owns the 125 class too. The dual exhaust on the hondas was a bad idea, they run like ****. Everyone is turning them back to single systems.

and it cost about $1400 to buy an aftermarket system for the cr250f

kawi owns this year. the 450 and 250f are the best out this year. thats why i just went out and bought the 06 kawi 250f

All the D17 Guys run suzukis. There supposivly the best handlers out there. I heard the KTM 250f is really fast to. i dnt know never rode a bike.

yep the KTM 250f is supposed to own

I will get a chance to ride one soon after my friend gets a 2006 250f

only mod he is probably going to make is

auto clutch, Bark Busters, and tires

he is racing 4-stroke A in GNCC and Se&tra

[Thump_It]

Dirt Rider and Dirt Bike magazines both say the Honda CRF450 is the best bike once again. They say the Honda motor is the strongest, and that the bike handles exceptionaly. I don't know much about the 250F's.

they got the fastest motors out there... but their no link rear ends suck horribly bad... thats why noone rides them... plus replacement parts are OUTRAGEOUS!


its simple... go to an amateur race and look what the fastest guys out there are on that don't have factory rides... they will either be on a honda because they are the fastest best bikes... or they will be on the rms for contengency... thats it very few are on the kawis or yamahas...

[redrider05]

yea tell me about it at my school were are endorsed by ktm and ive seen the parts list and the prices on them...crazy..the stock suspension deff need to be done by a tuner to get it decent..but its nice and simple to work on
