What was is the baddest (for flatlands and all out speed) 250 2 stroke ever? Can be new school, old school, or home schooled... but stock. Auto or "stick", does'nt matter...So what say you? Thinking about getting me another quad already, and just bought one today!!! (NOT getting rid of that Wolverine though, I think there is alot of potential there)

Has to be the Honda 250R! And, don't just consider speed. Handling on these machines is superb. It was the template for every Honda frame that has come after it!

If you are a young kid you may not know this, but just a few years ago before the 4-stroke revolution, nobody raced anything but built 250R's!

Not a quad, but IMO, the Yamaha Tri-Z 250. Had one at 16. That thing would climb a tree - just plain evil.

The FatCat was a 200 - without a doubt, the baddest 200 of 1986. I remember Yamaha offering a 3-wheeler conversion kit for their TW200. which was basically the same thing as the FatCat. I wanted one so bad I couldn't stand it.

Kawasaki Tecate. Hands down the fastest "stock" 250 money could buy. Didn't handle as good as the R but, was faster.
