Which is the best for technical trail riding, which is the most reliable and are there any other suggestions welcome?

Thanks

I would have to say the CRF450 would be better for trail riding. I prefer smooth power applacation of the four-stroke when I trail ride.
Good luck!

Neither...

They are both mx race bike made for the track... However, i have a yz250 that I trail ride but really only on open trails where I can open her up.

If those are you only 2 options, I'd get the kx250 but I'm biast towards 2 smokes!

Go with the Kawi the 450 is a lot to handle in the woods and the thing will go where it wants. The 2 stroke is a lot easier to ride in the woods with some minor mods.

ya go with kx250.

Like they said, I would not want a 4 stroke for woods only riding. First of all, they are much heavier which makes them more difficult to handle tight stuff. Second and most important, picture yourself riding for hours in the trails, nowhere near your truck or trailer and you tip the bike over in a stupid little turn because you are tired from riding. Now, you have to kick that pig over and over before you can get it too start and you never do so you have to wait hours before you have the energy to push it back to the truck.

Don't let anyone fool you into thinking these new ones are easy to start either. Better than they used to be, but that issue is still a major problem. Look at what happened to Bubba at St Louis, he got lapped trying to start his bike in a simple spill.

4 stroke MX bikes and woods are two things that should not be used in the same sentence.

go for the kx 250. i know plenty of 250 smoker owners (primarlily kawi) who only ride trails. they all say their a blast.
