I have three choices of chassis for my AF build.... I'm on the fence about which to use. Suggestions and objective criticism?

Easiest is the CR250. I enjoy that one and the CRF250 equally. CRF250 is a good bike too and a little more work. I have not done a 450 so I have no input to share. Good Luck

I have people interested in the CR250 as well as the CRF450R so it's a toss up honestly..... I think I'd rather use the 450 chassis as I'm 6'-8" and it's slightly larger.... I loved my 08 CRF450R.

Actually, I think the 05-07 CRF450R is one of the easiest and results in the best balanced bike. I didn't even have to mod the underside of the gas tank for the spark plug and can change the spark plug without pulling the gas tank. Also, the bike is slightly larger and results in a more comfortable riding position and is slightly more stable at high speeds.

I have a really clean 08 crf450r in my garage right now that I want to use but need to get 1800 out of the thumper parts in order to justify it.

If all the parts are clean and good shape, you can easily make that much. It takes time and effort to break them all down, clean them, and post ads with good pictures.
