I recently went riding with my son and my buddy at Carnegie Cycle Park. What I was afraid of happened, I rode my buddies 2017 CRF 450 and my son's 2009 Crf 250, and within 2 laps on the mx track I was in love with the sport again. So my question is as much as Id love to buy a 2018 crf 450 I'm not quite ready to spend that bread, as this could just be an urge. But I found a 2013 Rmz450 with only 54 hours on it for $3100, I was just wondering if anyone had experience with those bikes and what they thought. Also on the price. But I actually enjoyed my sons bike more, as it wasnt as scary powerwise and reminded me of my old cr250 2smoke. I used to ride at an intermediate to pro level and think I might regret getting the 250 after I get comfortable on it. What do you guys think?
I can't speak on the 13' and above , but I did spend some time on a 2012. When it comes to 4 strokes , I kinda bleed green , but dang it.....I really, really dug that 2012! The motor seemed pretty mellow for a 450 , but easy to ride with great bottom end. And the way that thing cornered ( I know it's a cliche' about Suzuki's and cornering ).....but holy heck that thing could corner. I can't give any advice on weather you should buy that exact bike , but I will say I was pretty happy riding the one i got on. Ain't nothing wrong with those bikes at all , and if you get it set up for you.....I see no reason why you wouldn't dig it.
Btw.....welcome back. have fun and stay safe!
And there goes Jeffro. One of God's own prototypes. A super high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.
