Hi. I have just joined TRF as I want to get into green laning (I have done it in the past locally a few times) on a CRF450r at first I thought this was too fast but soon I got used to the power and didn't have to use it. anyway after doing my research I have wittled it down to WR250f 2015 as this seems the year they made the big changes to it and reading the reviews loved the sound of it. or a KTM 450 exc 2014 or a WR450f 2014. I have had heart set on the WR250f until I read a few forums and KTMs seem popular. let me say I am a big guy, 18.5st in weight fairly fit, play rugby every couple weeks. would the 250cc still be powerful enough, I wont be doing massive amounts of road riding. I keep changing my mind. ive got a budget of 4500 and have a couple of each bike in my watch list on ebay, I'm keen to buy asap but want to buy to keep the bike a good few years, if any of you experienced guys think I would get a 250cc and soon want to get a 450cc then id rather go for 450cc now, but then I read 250cc is better for laning.
so many different views any advice will be appreciated. thanks matt
