At your size, I would imagine the weight would be a big factor in the handling of the bike. I would warn to be careful buying a CRF of those years. They tend to have weak valve trains that require even more maintenance than the competition. The 125 will be much cheaper and easier to rebuild. For a 4 stroke of that age, you had best know what to look for or take someone who does. Keep in mind that people are not always honest when selling a bike.
wake_rider said:Is there a particular reason you want a 450f over a 250 smoker? If weight is a big issue to you, a smoker will physically be lighter, and they 'feel' much lighter while riding. So if weight is your issue, maybe open your field of search a little. If you're particularly looking for a thumper for a reason, then don't look at weight as much of a deciding factor. Just as responses above have stated, looking mostly at the overall condition of the bike as well as doing your research on that specific bike will be the best case.

The '06 CR250 was what 215 pounds (depending on who's sacale was used) the CRF450R goes at maybe 5 pounds more? (depending on whos scale of course).
