superbanshee03 Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 I am thinking about getting a dirt bike and dont know what kind to get, either a yz450f or a crf450r? Which one is faster and handles better or the best overall bike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheeryder_69 Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 the CRF kicks the crap outta the yzf. i have two friends that each have one and the yfz has a paddle and the crf has a knobby and the crf still will outpull the yfz.

Banshee17Racing Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 I know locally, the hondas always seem to be finishing in front of most of the yamahas. But I don't know a whole lot about bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1800bigk Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 the crf450 is the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYCBanshee7 Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 GO 2-STROKE!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SICK BOY Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 (edited) I rode my buddies 05 CRF450 and that thing rips. The power with the 450's and the 250 2-strokes are so close it's not like the 250 4-strokes that are killing the 125 2-strokes.I just got a 01 CR 250 last week and the power/speed is crazy.

Brian060 Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 I had a 2004 CRF250r. I would say that speed is comprable to my banshee, maybe a lil faster (stock banshee.) It was kinda heavy compared to a 125, but the suspension and ergos were great. I was very suprised at how it compared to my neighbors kx125. Absolutely blows it away. I was very happy with the way the honda was designed. Very easy to work on and shit like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheeryder_69 Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 Those 450's are expensive as hell to work on and you always have to check the valves and every year your suppose to rebuild them and all that, I dunno a CR250 is just as fast but cheaper to work on and replace parts if you screw something up.Just my.02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis's Banshee Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 I had a yz400f and a yz426f. Both were awesome rides, but after riding my buddies cr450f honda, thats probably the way I'd go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 CRF no doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John19 Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Agreed with everyone else get the CRF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handyman Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 I have to agree with everyone else....the CRF450 is the better of the 2. I own a CR250 and have ridden the CRF450 and the power is awesome. If it was me spending the money....I'd go for the CRF450 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 I would say the new kx450f! those things are supposed to kick ass. Id say the crf between those two though. actually Id get a 250. but thats me. I like to have fun when I ride . and I hate valve clearance shit. if theyre a billionth of a millimeter off they wont run. four stroke engines scare me. plus I could never afford a 4 stroke.

superbanshee03 Posted June 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 Ok guys I found a yz250 and it clean. The guy wants 2500 for it. I has every thing new chaine, sprokets, hand guards, graphic kit new tires, very clean, aluminum subframe extra subframe, cylinder, head, has about all the guards you can get. shock socks, olins shocks, looks great. he said he raced mx with it alittle. Took very good care of. Its a 97 model, do you think its worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
