Blaster2fast, if the article you are talking about is the same one that I read a while back, that is the quad that I referenced previously. If my memory serves me right, they custom built the frame specifically with some different things to combat vibration and prevent the frame failure caused by vibration. Is that what you are going to do? Custom build a frame from the ground up? As far as going on facts and **** that I don't know, let me put it to you this way. I've been riding quads, dirtbikes, and streetbikes since you were in a diaper. And I've also had subscriptions to dirtbike and quad magazines dating back to the late '70's when my father raced dirtbikes. Don't tell me what I do and do not know. Like I said previously, just go build the damn thing and let me know how much money you actually spent, how easy or hard it was to build and get running properly, and whether or not the frame actually held up for more than half a season. Then decide for yourself if it was actually worth it from a money and time standpoint. After all, this whole discussion was started because you are on somewhat of a budget and can't find a decent 250R that is in your price range, right? You said you have about $4000 to spend on the Blaster or whatever you get for the Blaster plus that $4K to buy something different. Unless you have a line on a cheap, cheap bike, you are going to spend more than half of the $4k just finding a good late model YZ250 model that puts out the 50+HP that you so desire.

 

he can get just the motor from yamaha he doesn't have to get the whole bike

 

and everyone should relax a bit maby he just wants to do it to be different it will be a fun project and then he can say he made it sometimes its fun not to just go the easy way out and just buy new it will be a kewl project and if it works it will have loads of power and be light whats a matter with that jmo

You can do what ever you want, and tell yourself what ever you want to hear, but there isn't a stock frame other than the C-dale frame that will actually hold up to fast, aggressive MX racing for a long time, and I"m just talkin about the ones that have stock motors in them. Put a 50+ HP motor in a BLASTER frame and race it hard for one season and tell us how much you have to weld on it. You can talk about all these desert quads, and trail quads all you want, but MX is a whole different ball game.

If you really want to do this, go for it. It's your money, but you would be a lot better off spending half the money and buying something that can actually handle MX racing.

 

No quad is better than the Honda 250R quad for MX.
