thats what i said, but i am going to look at it tmrw, if it isnt stolen, is that good? like the hours on it and stuff, i am going to look for chisled numbers and what not

the man (hes like 30) said he was selling it because he has to get knee surgery and it is just sitting there loosing value, seemed very knowledgeable, knew every single part and everything that was done to the bike...

Thatd be insane if it had a good frame and suspension WITH a blown motor let alone working. Its obviously a typo, its 4500, that sounds normal. Have you ridden before? It sounds like you're not very experienced. The yz450f is not a beginner bike. It'll kick yer *** and ask for more.

ive ridden 250's and i have a street bike, only reason i would buy is to sell

maybe ride it up and down the street once or twice and make some noise

any other opinions on it?

Is it Four Hundred Fifty ($450) or Four Thousand Five Hundred ($4,500)? At $450 there's a good chance it's not legit, but for $4,500 it's a pretty good deal. At least in Northeast PA it's a good deal.
