i think you could find a honda crf450r for around $4,000. that would be the bike for you.

I think a KTM 200EXC or 300EXC would be good if you want a 2 stroke. The 200 and 300 along with the 250 are great for woods riding and light MX duty.

good luck finding a 450 for 4000

they are almost 7000 new

i would say a 250 of some sort

a Honda dealer near me has a 2003 CRF450R forsale...$3500 and a 2005 for $3800

fairrind, i say spend the $500 difference and buy the 2005.
