DILEMMA 250 or 450

**cheese** · 28th February 2008, 13:59

Na I'd say it will be better. Its not their first EFI offroader, they have been using the EFi in the quads for a while (I'm pretty sure on that) and I'd say that they have been probably used by all the race teams for the past couple of years. Think of it more as the first general public version EFI 450. I'd be more worried that its a suzuki!! LOL!!!!!!

The EFI should make the bikes alot better. Going to make it a bit different for jetting and so on, you'd probably want to get a proper Dyno jet set up done cause EFI is going to have great ability for tuning.

Wonder how long till Honda bring out Vtech CRF's....... LOL!!!!People flipping bikes everywhere cause Vtech just kicked in OMG!!!

Oh and as for your road bike with a 450 engine that would be nuts! Some guy did that with a 250 frame in the battle of the streets? anyway he was giving a 600 a good run for its money. You'd have to fit a big ass mag to get the lights to work properly. I'd say a kit should be available. Will teh engine sit in the right place and keep teh balance ok?

haha!! - v-tec just kicked in yo,! hold on for your life!!!

Whats up with people getting bored with 250's? Sure they aint got the power of a 450 but when they can lap a track with the same time or even quicker I don't see how they are boring?? They do jumps the same size as 450's and are easier to handle.

I can see that for quite a big person the 450 would have its advantages.....

Not quite Vtech but close.

He's the guy on the left, the one moving five times as much dune.

The NOS kicks in when the throttle it twisted to the stop.

LOL at the NOS!!!

How come he's still loosing then? :P

Thats crazy! my bike would flip at full throttle without the nos!!! Somoene had too much time on their hands... hahaha.

i had a ride on "worms" 07 450 and it was nuts, sooooo much power, get back on my 250 and the smile goes away.
But i couldn't handle a 450 in the type of riding i do. rather be nimble and quick then have streched arms and no knobs left on the tyres.

Haha the NOS CR would be scary, wonder if it's a 500 or 250???

I've recently upgraded to a 250 2 smoke for the reason that honda don't make them anymore. I was way quicker on my CRF250 but didn't quite get the same buzz (in saying that nor did I break bones haha). I've riden 450's and they're fun with endless power but also a handful with the extra weight/power to hang on to. For riding MX as I do i'd have to ride 250f or two stroke.

Once I get a bit older and the body slows up I will most likely change to 450 and also steer clear of the MX track a bit more and spend more time on trails.

i would say the rear wheel is most likely going twice as fast as the front look at that pic must be complete madness on the hard stuff
