what should i get?

Whats goin on? I'm trying to decide what size bike to get? I'm a novice to dirt bike not riding. Been riding street for a number of years. But I know dirt can be different. I'm 6'4" 250lbs. I plan to ride both track and trail. been leaning toward the yz450f or crf 450r side but didn't want to get in over my head. any suggestions?

Considering you ride street, and have a similar build as myself...
I think a 450 4 stroke would suit you well. You should also consider a 250 2 stroke if you want something very light and flickable.
Both have advantages.
2 Strokes are lighter, but require some finesse in gear selection and power delivery.
4 Strokes are easier to ride, but typically a little heavier.
I do not have a preference...

Yep, 7 years, 1 in the 1st year, then went with Kibblewhatever, and then every other year, also did one when he lost his rod bearing. I did my 1st valve job last Summer, and the lower end tolerances were good. Yamaha, FTW!
