Well, after think no quad could take my rm400 two stroke, I was beat by a honda 250x. We were drag racing inside of a water storage pond that was, for the most part, dry, except for some water off to the side. Off the line, the 250x took me by a few feet. My bike found its powerband and scooted right ahead of the honda very quickly until, that is, I hit some Moist dirt....BWAAAaaaa. Bike falls off of powerband and the 250x flys by me. I will never hear the end of it[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]
So I guess, If a 250 4-stroke can take a 400 twostroke, anything is possible. By the way, I got to drive the quad and now I can't even look at my dirtbike because I want another quad back.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

Good story, but, isn't the 250X a 2-stroke as well?

 

uhh...no

 

Mudcovered, I am not a honda afficianado, but I do think that a "R" at the end of the quad indicates 2 stroke and "X" indicates 4 stroke.

 

I think biggin is right.

 

Biggin...you are correct sir. ~Carsen flashback~

 

YES!!

 

Shessh, my bad. I have never seen a 250X but for some reason thought they were 2-stroke. Hard to beleive that a 250 four-stroke could beat a larger CC'd 2-stroke.

 

I had a 250X in my stable recently and ran a few races with it.

I was in second place at an arena cross before carburetor trouble sent me back into the pits. Finished my night.

I managed to finish third place with it in a Hare Scrambles race in sub zero wind chills with much larger quads[with electric satart] but still managed to finish third in my class.

Never discount the 250X. It may not be the most powerful, but is one of the lightest fourstrokes around still.

 

except the Yamaha Guys haven't figured the "R" vs the "X" thing yet...

the Raptor 660R is a 4-stroke... duh!!!!
