I need to know which four stroke bike you guy's think would fit me in woods riding and racing. I'm a big guy and I have only had two strokers. I have a kx 250 now. I want to know what bike has plenty of comfort and power. I'm looking at the drz 400, wr450 and the xr 650. any info please. thanks!!! :flame:

I feel the xr 650 is too big and bulky for anything tight. The drz isnt really the king of power my '85 kdx 200 keeps up with it no prob. I race my friend all the time I actually kill him in the woods the kdx is way more agile. Were pretty equal in straight line drags he usually gets me though. I dont know much about the wr 450. If it was my $$$$ i'd buy the KTM 525 exc!! That bike would win any race easily against all the others listed. Another option is the crf 450 and set it up for woods riding.

Get the wr450, my hubby just replaced his drz400 w/ the wr450 and is THRILLED with the difference. It's so much lighter! His experience with the drz was that it wouldn't stop on a dime because of the weight. Goodluck!

Are you looking for a 4-stroke only? the hot ticket right now is the 04 ktm 300exc. It beat every other 2-stroke and 4-stroke in the shootouts, including the wr450 with ease. It even might be a little cheaper. only 227lbs ready to ride :aj:
