I think you missed my point. Most people want a electric starter on a four stroke because they are difficult to start, and more difficult to re start after a spill. With all of this technology at work, they can build a 4-stroke engine that is 2 times the displacement of a 2-stroke and weighs much more so the machine it goes in can keep up? To me that doesn't seem like an advance.

 

Yeah when you stall a yz426 it takes ages to get it started again you have to pull in that stupid little lever . PLus they are extremely easy to stall BELIEVE ME I KNOW

 

I hope they make something soon.I've also heard about the 650EX.But untill they do I'll be waiting to buy a new quad,either the Cannondale,Kawasaki or maybe the Raptor,Or if it comes out the 650EX...I hope.


1999 Yamaha Banshee
1986 Honda 250R
2000 Honda 400EX

 

At least you have your mind made up! Seriously, this is great. It is nice to want a performance quad and not know which one to get. It used to be "maybe I can find a clean 250r. If not then I'll get a Banshee/400EX." Now it is like I can't wait to see the 2001 models and I'll buy the one I want!

 

last summer I stumbled apon the ultimate qaud a bone stock showroom condition 86 trx250r the only prob with nit was about a 2 inch piece broke off the edge off the rear fender U can't even tell if U don't look. it was all stock except for some boyeson reeds. I quickly snatched it up for a awesome price off 2500 and took her home and rode the p*%s out of her.she is still running today after a rebuild due to a cracked piston and she has only lost to one 400ex in a drag and beat a 440ex in a MX track. she is my ultimate qaud.

 

If they are not building a 2 cycle it will not be a racer.Four cycles do not make good race motors.
