I have an 07 crf 250r, im 5'11 260lbs (ima fb player but im a lil overweight too) so i was thinking about getting a 450 because i really like to power on them, im 15 in november but ive been riding since i was 6, would this be a viable invesment for me, or do you think it's too much for me?

You need a nice clean Honda CR-500 2- Stroke, plenty of power and low maintenance too.

Do you feel like you are riding the bike or is the bike riding you? If you are riding it to what you believe is its full potential or at least close to its full potential then I say go ahead bump up. However your learning curve will be tremendous, and mistakes will cost a little more. The first thing I did within the first 6 months of buying a 450 was got too comfortable. Following this new perceived confidence I jumped too far on stock suspension without landing on the gas . I then had to .wait 6 months due to a shattered scaphoid. Granted the only reason Im saying consider bumping up is due to your weight factor.
