250 vs 450 thumper

[firffighter]

With the new 250 out and about and some great reviews on the newer 450's I have been thinking about going out and getting one of these thumpers.

I have been on 2-smokes for about 5 seasons now and love my 250EC, but I think I am ready for a change.

I am just a trail rider and do 1 or 2 timekeeper enduros a year. I am a low B rider, 40 yrs. old and ride mostly woods in 2nd-3rd gear terrain.

Even though I am 210 lbs., I am leaning toward the 250 thumper because it would still be light enough to throw around in the woods.

Anyone make a similar change?

Advice?
