I agree that it's not worth putting money into the 250ex. My brother already spent 1000 on extras for his, and he's wishing he had just saved the money for a 400 instead. In my opinion the biggest limiting factor is the shaft drive. It's maintainance free and super reliable, but the gears are too low and you can't get any more top speed out of it no matter what you do to the engine.
Running WOT won't hurt the engine. I've held both my recon and my brother's 250ex wide open for miles at a time, and it never did any damage. My recon got rode wide open A LOT, and it went 5 years berfore the first rebuild. My brother's 250ex is still on the original rebuild, with no signs of power loss or smoking.

The big bore on a 250ex isn't a very big one. And when you're running wide open for extended periods of time you're moving fast, which means more air is moving over the engine, and it's cooling off more.
Just yesterday I went for a wide open run down the road on my bro's 250 because my warrior isn't back together yet. I was running wide open throttle for about 5 minutes straight except for a couple sharp turns, and when I got back home the motor was cooler than when it gets when trail riding, beause when you're blasting down the road at 55 mph you have a LOT more cooling then when you're going 15 around a trail.
Sure, the higher rpm's will put a little more wear and tear on the parts, but nothing has worn out yet. This engine is almost too weak to really do any harm to itself to be honest, that's they way honda designed it, that's how they design most of their quads, which is why they are so reliable.

i have a 250ex and ive wanted more power at times, ive added a pipe and jet kit and filter, this improves it alot , but im still wanting more power . so ive decided to get a 400ex. theres no point in getting a big bore for a 250ex. its kinda pont less. its shaft drive and auto clutch and the engines really not made to be bored out on this quad
