[QUOTE="Rich Rohrich, post: 1434079, member: 16241"] If all you want is a basic random opinion, here goes. I've owned a CRF450 since 2002, and have owned a few YZF4xx as well. I've built a bunch of CRF450 engines, as well lots of Yamahas and worked on the cylinder heads of the other Japanese 250s and 450s. For my purposes my likes and dislikes as a rider the Honda 450 IN MY OPINION (and I can't stress that enough) is best all around engine, best chassis, very reliable, and has the best brakes. The Yamahas have proven to be the best in terms of reliability over the years and just really solid bikes overall but with handling characteristics that some just don't care for, the Kawasaki has gotten a LOT better in the last few years but as an engine builder I wouldn't spend my own money on one, and the Suzuki is just a yellow turd unless you are RC or someone of that ilk. Again this is just MY OPINION so no one should get their panties all in a bunch if they love their green bike, or worship at the altar of the rising sun on a yellow background. ;) Take that for what it's worth (which isn't much really) , because if you are buying used then the quality of the care the bike received prior to you will have far more relevance than some random rider opinions on the internet. All of the current crop of racing four-strokes (250 & 450) are high rpm, highly stressed RACE ENGINES and need appropriate care and maintenance. Treating them like an XR75, or a 1990's era two-stroke just won't cut it. Unless you know a lot about the past history of a used modern four-stroke you are buying a potential time bomb, regardless of the color of the tank. [/QUOTE]
