I don’t know which 2009 dirt bike to get 450 or 250, Honda
Kawasaki, Yamaha

I am not advance rider
I am 5’6 190lbs. I rode a Yamaha 4 stroke; it was 80’s model. It was fun but it felt really slow for me, not enough power.

Now I am interested only 2009 models,I herd wonderful improvements on them

But I just don’t know which one

Now I herd Honda 2009 Crf 450r has fuel injection and has a lot of torque and power but not the kind of power that will pull your arms off that's a bad thing is it gets a little to powerful where front wheel looses control over bumps you have to fight it a lot. Is there a way I can adjust that?


Now Kawasaki 450f had great improvements has all so fuel injection lots of power best things it stat up easy like a one kick start compare to the Honda. I herd Kawasaki big Bike and I am only 5’6, I am worried but the 250f herd great reviews


Now Yamaha
herd many good things someone said it was a lazy bike other said not enough power, engine over heats. Other people said 450 is the best bike other said the the perfect bike very smooth/
is customize for a short or tall rider

Now I am looking for a very reliable bike very comfortable, very smooth suspension starts easy to shift. Very fast and powerful but able to control it and dosn't pull you arms off.

Now from your experice 08 09 models which one is more powerful and comfortable for a short rider but has some weight.
5'6 I90lbs
 
If you are not an advance rider you won't even be able to tell the difference between the different brands. I've owned both Hondas and Yamahas and both are great. 250 vs 450. A 250f takes more skill to ride quickly, you have to know how to work the bike (clutch, throttle, weight distribution) to ride the bike fast on a track. A 450 will power you out of most mistakes, be easier to clear those jumps with short runways, not require as much finesse as the 250.
 
If you are only 5ft 6 and not an advanced rider you would be crazy to get a crf450r. A crf250r would have as much power as someone your size could possibly use and again unless you are an advanced rider either brand of bike would be fine for you as you will not go anywhere near to using all the power that they offer.
