Best thing to do would be go to the dealerships and sit on both the 250 AND the 450…maybe some others aswell

whatever one feels most comfortable to you is best. dont get one you arent sure you cant handle because beginners luck means a lot of crashes on a dirtbike.

obviously 450 is going to have 200 more cc's then a 250 so its going to have quite a bit more power. its is also going to be alot heavier. it might sit a little to high for someone your height though?? im not sure…the last time i got on a 450 i was like 6 (riding on the back of my uncles…im now 15 but a mere 5'3…so as you can imagine something that big is of no use to me! lol). but anyways…my uncle is a big guy…like 6'2 sooo…ya.

the 250 will sit lower and be easier to handle…it will probably be a good first bike. it will have plenty of power. and dont worry about your weight being a factor…both bikes will zip around like crazy with a 200lbs dude on the back no problem.
