Default Why did they ban the 250r

Was it because the other manufacturers could never win and were mad?

No one banned any of the 4 wheelers, just the trikes and that was an industry wide move.

Lawsuits and liabilities were the name of the game.

I thought that they banned the 250R's from competition, at least that is what i thought i read in a magazine. It was in an article about one of the pro riders he said he would still be riding the R today if they hadn't banned them. Can't remember the magazine or the riders name. Maybe i just read it wrong.
