[QUOTE="DougTx, post: 1321931, member: 98131"] I currently have a 2002 XR400R. It is a solid and really great bike. You guys gave me the advice here to get it this summer and I am in love with riding again. I rode a CRF450R and was shocked at how much lighter and how much more power and feel the CRF450R had, I man I know it is a lot more and newer bike with technology but it was very noticeable to me. I liked it so much that I thought about getting a CRF450X for the following reasons: Against an R, the X would have better trail gearing, a headlight and tail light, bigger fuel tank, hopefully smoother delivery of power and the all important magic red button (Starter). I love my XR but when I do some jumping and play around on the MX track at trophy club my XR feels heavy and does not handle the jumps like a CRF450.. I am hoping the feel of the 450X will give me a little more of the frame size and behavior of a MX bike but still the tractability of a lower speed, trail riding/farting around. I do not intend to race but I would like to play around on the track just for fun and jump a little... I am 6'1" and about 255 lbs and the XR has been good to me.. but I have an opportunity to buy a new CRF450X (07 or 08) for a really great price new and am giving it hard consideration. Any thoughts on differences between them and thoughts on the CRF450X would be greatly appreciated... Thanks [/QUOTE]
