What im saying is how everone was saying, IF HONDA was going to Release a New Sport Quad wouldnt we know about it or see Spy Pics or something in the Mags. Well this new 250ex NO ONE said anything about it till it was on the site so im guessing no one knew about it till then. So what im Really saying is Honda Has to have something to compete with the Ds/Raptor somewhere within there Company. They are Pretty good about keeping stuff hidden.

Maybe honda is hesitant to release another DEATH MACHINE like the 250r. They werew basically b!tch slapped by the government the last time they made an awesome quad, so they might not be as willing to stick a 600cc streetbike engine into an offroad vehicle. They could also be waiting to see how the raptor does in sales, seeing as the DS650 never really sold that well. Who knows really. Personally, I think a the 300ex motor in the 400ex frame would have been a better idea for a new quad. Funny, while every brand is going BIGGER, honda decides to go SMALLER....

At www3.ns.sympatico.ca/atcharleys click on ATV Spy Page, they sort of had the right idea about a sport 250cc quad. The picture is close but they also show a 600EX.

I'm sorry did you forget this was a Honda site? That's okay, we understand your lack of envy since you drive a Polaris.

Yeah, someone would waste there time snapping pics of a 250cc sport quad.......the same idiot that was snapping pics down in West Virginia of a bunch of hillbillies wild invention of a quad.....and called it "the new polaris 700cc sport quad" (no offense to the great southern people either) buddy, don't waste your time, Polaris's big release was 3 mini quads made in Taiwan. (no offense to the asian people) with scrambler and sportsman written on them.

The 250R was and is not a death machine. Honda was sued because of three wheelers and they eventually went back to court and had the government ban on them removed. Of course, by that time everybody knew that quads were better anyhow. They did it so that the thousands of people still riding thier "death machines" couldn't sue them later on down the road.
Most people riding quads are not that bright anyhow. I am referring to the people who do not wear helmets and other safety gear, or even worse, let children ride double or not wear gear etc. Those are the people who go on to sue atv manufactureres.
How can any inanimate item be a death machine? All it does is sit in the garage until you ride it, and then it only does what you make it do? What a narrow minded view.

hey those pics are fake... I posted a topic on this Earlier named Fake Honda Pics... if they were to be true wouldn't they have Sportrax on them instead of Fourtrax??? and if u look at the 250R u can notice the 400EX's muffler hidden behind the other one. The engines are bigger and smaller than they should be since in some spots they sort of overlap the frame.. just lettin u know my 2 cents
