Then I ride to 9k

Comparing every 4-stroke to a 250r would create quiet a post. But the main difference ive felt just in rider position is that on a 4-stroke you sit "on" the bike, but on a 250r you actually feel like your "inside" the bike which makes the rider feel more stable and secure.

450r's kick easy, dont worry about it.

If it's tall and narrow it will seem faster. But you have to line em up to find out.

Cant agree wit da beech man enough on that!!!!! My 86 feels like you are a part of the machine. the feel of the 88
is more like you are on top of the bike. I never liked the feel of an EX, or a raptor, felt like riding a horse.

One of my buddies braggs up his rappy then we get into some twisties and he cant keep up.

I could build 2- 250R's for the price of 1 new 450R.

That is a very nice R there 2strokerfreak. Nice and clean with alot of the original stuff on it. Hell it even still has the tool tube on the back. I would really like to come across an R that clean. Very nice!!

I am the proud owner of a new black 450r this morning, and Im still getting used to kicking it, its a little different than kicking my 250R. Once you get used to it, its not bad at all. First or second kick nearly every time.

Spoken by some one who doesn't have a 450R and has probably never ridden a 450R. An electric start IS NOT needed.
Go buy a Craptor, and you'll be kicking yourself!
