If Im riding trails and roads I use my 83 XR500R that I got plated.

If I wanna burn up the trails only its an 88 CR 500R 2 stroke.

Do you wanna go fast or just putt around? If you wanna really go fast the 450 is your bike. With your weight and style of riding you should get the springs and valving changed in the shocks.

Your 260 pounds is no match for any 450. It can easily hurt and scare you!
