betchya thought this was another religious thread huh?
nah, just my thoughts on the Honda 250R.
I rode one for the first time this last week, and all I can say is,,,,why did Honda EVER stop making these beautiful, powerful, shut-up-and-hold-on quads?

havent ridden one but have smoked a few. I rode the 3 wheeler version in the 80s. The 3 wheelers were lighter and faster in a straight line.
Ida have you ridden a YFZ or 450r?

It's really stupid that they discontinued the "Banshee" It was the ultimate Dune quad. And only 2-Stroke 2-Cylinder Quad that was mass produced..

No argument there, Cut. You wouldn't want none though if we raced 300 ft. but had a big jump at 150ft. and had to turn around at the end and race back Your bike is in a whole different class than my little wore out, abused, dirty, stock, pump gas running, trail bike  Git it RAG |

Honda needs to grow a brain and make a 250R chassis with a CRF450 motor a production quad. It would sell like hotcakes.

I rode a 450 and I wasn't impressed. For 450cc's I didn't feel any low end and it didn't pull up top like I thought it would. I'd take a R over any newer quad. Almost 20 years gone by and this quad is still in demand and feared by some. I love it. They stopped making 2 strokes because of crying environmental 4 stroke owners. CC for CC 4 strokes will NEVER win. -Mark

I raced a 250R for years. I loved it to death. The greatest thing since sliced bread. Then came the new four strokes. They are by far better than a 250R in my opinion. I even kept my 250R in case I wasn't happy with my 450R. I have gotten faster since I have been riding a 4 stroke. Also in the past when FTR was seperating the 4 stroke from the 2 strokes, the 4 stroke classes were always turning faster lap times. It didn't matter what class, A, B, or C the four strokes were faster. The power is smoother and always right there on a 4 stoke.

i have had.. a 250r and 2 trx450r's..
the r was a great snappy bike.. it had great power and was fun to ride..
it was a rag and a half but great powered bike..
but it wasnt anything compared to the trx450r i had before it..
it was a rag after 8 months too but...... the 450r a 182 main jet no airbox lid.. and there's no way a r was catching it..
and the 05 trx450r i have now with a two brother's and same jet and no air box lid and kenda's.. nnnoooppppeeee..
and a r would make u smell after riding it and mixing the gas there's no way i would sign up for that again..
and i havnt ever rode a banshee but i heard there great drag bike's...
but ima 4 stroker all the way..

hMmm thats odd...I have been reading that the pros were fighting going 4 stoke till the end..when they had to make the change..no one wanted to cross over from waht I have been reading... http://www.r-central.net/R-Centralforum/viewtopic.php?t=1843 <~info Only know this because I have been thinking of getting an XC 250R |
