looking for a new bike

[07wr250f]

I am looking to get a new 450. Yes i tried the search but it wasn't much help for my situation.
I am 17, 6'1" 275
I am pretty strong and a little aggresive in my riding style
I will be doing almost all trail riding
I have been riding 8 months on a wr250f
I will not race
I will do most of the BASIC maintanence
I prefer 4 stroke
I have several dealers close
I plan on spending around 7,500
not in california
Ok I am looking at the crf450x, klx450r, and wr450f. the bike would be shared by my father and me, he is similar size and riding style. As of now I can the best deal on the klx. I just want to hear some other opinions as to which bike is best or if they are all pretty equal. Thanks.

I have a couple of friends I ride with that own a KLX450R and a CRF450X respectively. From what I have seen the bikes are pretty darn close as far as ability goes. I will have to give the nod to the CRF450X. More often than not the Kawasaki will overheat and he has had problems with the battery going dead. I have yet to see the Honda come close to overheating and that thing will start no matter what.
