Okay, right now I'm riding a 2000 KX125, it's just not cutting it power wise to propel my 200 lb body around the track and such.
I'm really thinking I'm going to race it but I'm also really wanting to try to get into the whole big kicker ramp thing. Im really already leaning towards the CR but just wanted some outside opinions. I wont mind the whole top-end rebuild thing either.

I ride a CR250 and on the track the dang 450's are REAL hard to catch out of the corners. For me personally the next bike will be a CR500/KX500 or a CRF450.
The dude who sold me my bike bought a CRF450. It throws roost like a "Ditch-Witch" trencher.

My next bike will be either a CRF450 or a YZF450.. They look easy too go fast, not much clutching or shifting, BRUTE POWER

If I were only looking at the rade aspect, I would probably go 450.....but, something makes me think they wouldnt be so great for the fmx thing

I meant race aspect, not rade

IMO if your good enough a rider to do a backflip on a CR250 then you shouldn't have a problem on a CRF450. If a were starting to learn FMX I'd keep my old bike and invest my extra cash in handlebars.
BTW:
CR250 is $5999
CRF450 is $6499
KX500 is $4999
I'm a Honda lover, but one of the FEW other bikes I find merit in is the KX500. $1500 less than a CRF450 and faster too!
