honda and can am. help me choose. plz plz plz plz.
i am looking at two atvs right now the can am ds250 and the honda trx250ex. i don't know which one to choose. i have heard that the ds250 has a throttle limiter that lets it only go 45. but i have heard that if u remove that it will go about 55 or something. i have read that the trx250ex can go about 54-55. is this true? i figure the ds250 will go faster since it has a bigger engine and a bigger bore. but the ds250 whiegs a lot more than the honda trx250ex because of the cvt. but the extra power makes up for it right? just give your opinions on my opinions. plz i really need good help.

First lesson you need to learn is that faster doesn't mean a thing, if you don't have the chassis and suspension to handle it. Neither of these machines are really full on sport quads, so just get over the which is faster thing!
Instead, take a look at the new Yamaha Raptor 250 or the Honda 300EX....these are real sport quads!

OK, that's good advice if you are using the machine as a commuter vehicle. If you actually plan on riding for fun, top speed is important, but should no be a deciding factor. One machine may be geared for much more acceleration with less top speed which would be much more desirable if you ride in lots of tight trails. If you ride primarily on dunes or in open fields, top speed will count for more. Ask yourself how you're going to use the machine, and then decide. My quad only does about 50-55, but I ride mostly tight trails and have only gotten it up to full speed a couple of times. If anything, I'd ask for less top speed and more acceleration. Just my $0.02
