Possible swap for my CRF250 (road legal)

[MaybeGuy]

I'm after swapping my CRF250 for a 450 in either SM or enduro trim.
Mine's road legal, and any bike swapped would have to be.

anyway. 11 months tax and MOT, got the V5, MOT cert and tax disc.

Engine is perfect, starts first kick without ever needing choke or hotstart, and is maintained more than it should be. Valve clearances done about 3 hours ago. Also has a shit load of non-standard parts that I'll list if I get any interest.

It looks like this, and is in Plymouth.

Disclaimer: It's a used Enduro bike, so don't expect something with shiny plastics. It has scratches, but no cracks.

2002 model, 11 months T&T in very good condition. comes with ohlins rear shock, mazarocci forks and brembo brakes as standard. Runs perfect with plenty of power, probably too much power if im honest Bit mental for me as a beginner to offroading . have a full spare plastics set in virtually unused condition along with other bits and bobs

Sorry mate, not enough strokes for me.

Extras:

Aluminium bash plate

RFX gear lever

Magura hydraulic clutch conversion (requires new master cylinder seal)

RFX RHS hot start lever mount

Aluminium pro full exhaust system, and I've jetted it to suit as previous owner failed to do so, and probably can't tie his own shoe laces.

Bi-metal rear sprocket

Red billet wheel spacers

Some gash red camo rim tape

Red billet chain adjusters

RG3 rear shock (original included, still good to go)

MotoXXX grippy seat, with hump

Renthal yoke

RFX fork bleeders

Renthal fat bars

Oil changed every 500 road miles or every 3 races or every enduro along with oil filter

Filter cleaned after every event

Clearances checked after every other oil change, and have only needed adjustment once

Best oils used for both engine and gearbox

Recent wheel bearings and pads

cosmetically, as said before, it's a used enduro bike, and the only downside I can see is that the front brake is a little spongey, and that's only compared to my ninja.

Bit of an update, would also swap for a big twin, like an RSV, an early 748 or similar.
