size shouldnt matter, sure the 250 fits me perfect but ryan stephen is a 6 footer and he did fine on it, it is a turd on power compared to 450s but depends on if your only stunting or actually riding streets for any length of time, i ride mine all over hell and ive never had to work on a single thing other than general stunt part add ons and custom exhaust and such. 450 would be nice as just a stuntbike with little street stunt but not a street cruiser thats for sure. your not gonna get the miles out of a 450 like you can the 250, theres plenty of the 250s out there with well over 25,000 miles on um and all original youd go through 4 or 5 motors on a 450 in that timeframe im sure.
if they made the 450x or wr450f in fuel injected models id build one but i wont own anything with a carb, FI is where its at. 250 will help you learn a lot of shit in a hurry i can vouge for that. just wish theyd have built it in a 350 itd be just about perfect. a 310 kit is about to be released though with the same 3 ring style piston as the stock one so that should make the 250 a much better bike all around, not that it isn't a great bike right now cuz i love mine, funnest bike ive ever owned by far.
i dont do a ton of street riding mainly just small stunt rides with a few F4I's around the countryside but i ride it to work every day i can only about 10 miles each way but ill have 3000 miles on mine by end of year.
