I think im going to go me a cr500.I been wanting a 2 stroke I really wanted a smaller play bike,the crf450 just dont have that pep to it.its a heavy bike and the power just dont feel like its there to me. unfortunately ill be stuck with the 450 but I mite eventually make it a moto.im not caring about the top speed of a bike I want that snap n the crf just dont have it,,what do u think

GuitarShreds

I think you're not opening the throttle fast enough.

Buy that cr500 an let it rip. I must say tho, ur the first person I ever heard say 450 didn't have enough power.

sean

It don't,I ride I open it,up every chance I get

sean

I want a little play bike,and top of the chain bike

sean

I ride next to a cr 250 all the time.there the same

sean

I dont care what nobady says,a 250 2stroke leave a 450 off jump the 450 has faster top speed,theg say 450 has more torque but its bull.theres 50 of us that ride and there's 450,s of most kind,the 250s leave us,on jump.

markyrocks

There getting u at the gate BC there ripping off in the power immediately, but its all they got. Trust me if 250s 2s had an advantage over the 450s there would be way more pros riding them.

That 500 is rediculous, all I can say is make sure ur health insurance paid up.

GuitarShreds

If a 250 is beating a 450 off the line the 450 rider's probably not very good.

sean

I had a 500 years ago,,the pros stopped useing them because Honda n Yamaha was killing the game and the other companies put a lot of pressure on them

GuitarShreds

The 500 class was dumped because suzuki and yamaha didn't have competitive bikes and weren't making money off of it.

sean

Right,,,,,,,, it's just a matter of out with the old in with the new in my opinion.I like 2 strokes.i will be getting one by in the summer,

Maple Leaf MX

Sup sean where u been at dawgg

sean

Rate here n all is well,where u been,where cr been.you all ain't been around much

GuitarShreds

Well I like 4 strokes. Like seriously, low end torque + decent/good top end. I could ride this bike all day if I didn't feel guilty that it wasn't mine + I don't have a job.

if you want a 450 with snap and heaps of power go for a pre 2006 model. they were snappy horrible over powered things when they first got developed. manufacturers have spent the last few years trying to make the power delivery more controllable. snappy bikes arent easy to ride.

sean

Good stuff nz, guitar if you don't have a job then you should be able to ride all day..i dont think the,2012 crf 450 has good torque,,the top is good ....nz my brother bought a honda 450 4 wheeler its bored and all I think he said its a 490,we got a $100 bet, tomorrow..think I can get him??

GuitarShreds

Well first it's not my bike, 2nd I can't pay for gas since i don't have a job, 3rd riding all day by yourself is no fun, mostly though its not my bike. If I can sell some of my stuff hopefully it will be my bike then, cuz I really like it.

Terrain plays a part to a good degree concerning a 250 2t and a 450 4t off the line. Hard pack v. soft v. mid will make a difference in take off. Not to mention tire tread and wear. many things have an effect and must e taken into account.
