Even the old 2 stroke CR 250 was a total beast of a bike. I had a '82 CR500 for about a month. Couldn't get rid of it fast enough. WAY too much bike...lol.
Maybe less scary on the 450 4 stroke because of the suspension and other technology, but still scary fucking fast. I’m 160 lbs., so....lolNice motorcycle! I used to have a CR500...it ran like a scalded dog. I’ve never ridden a 4 stroke motocross bike. How does that 450 run? Probably not as scary as the old CR.
Agree! You never know when stuff will go south. Last year I raced in an event called an “Ironman” at the track where I posted the picture in the OP. It’s basically a one hour race, during the day, and they lengthen the track quite a bit....roughly 5 min lap times.FB,
At age 51, enjoy your motorcycle. At age 70, I decided I wanted to ride again after many years of not doing so because I lived in a congested city, but had moved to rural Colorado. But CO required a training course and test to get a license to ride. I discovered that my coordination was shot — I flunked. I agreed with the officials that flunked me. I clearly belong on the road only piloting something with four wheels. So enjoy while you can!
