street rider going dirt. bike advice
I currently own a 2005 Suzuki GSXR 1000. It is a killer bike and im heartbroken having to sell it. But im buying a house so im selling it for extra money and settling with a dirt bike for now hoping it will satisfy my needs haha. I am already firm that I want a mx/race bike. I want to jump it and use it as a trail bike. As for 2 stroke or 4 stroke im stuck. Im leaning more to a 2 stroke as ive heard they have alot more kick to them. Ive been seriously looking at either a honda cr 250r or yz 250. Both are 2003. Im looking for the better overall bike. I like them both and am not brand loyal. I have about $4000 give or take a little to spend.
On a side note ive also heard alot of good things about the honda crf450r. From what i heard the crf450r is in the same class as the 250r 2 stroke. Why is this and besides reliability and smoother power delivery, why are most guys going to the 4 stroke? Would I be smarter to pay a little more and get a 450 4 stroke? Or stick with the yamaha or honda 2 stroke?
Thanks in advance guys :)
