I rode a 1986 Honda 4 trax 250R back when they were new. Yes, I'm old. I have been away from riding for 15 years or so. Back in the day the 250R was king. I rode and owned several 4 wheelers back then. The Honda was my favorite due to the way the long, low, wide frame handled. I also liked the power and light weight of the 2 stroke engine. I liked the Honda 4 trax 250X and the Suzuki 250 Quad Racer the least.
I am ready for another bike. I am a woods rider who has raced events such as Blackwater 100. Since I have been away from the sport for so long I am wondering what is the hot bike for woods racing these days.....and why? If nothing better has come along, I am happy to buy another 250R. Thanks for your help.

 

Sounds like you'd like any of the new 450 class machines such as the Yamaha YFZ 450, Honda 450r, or Suzuki or kawasaki 450s. That's what they race now.
