SYKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you fool, i am 14 as well and i will admit it your quad is faster than all of ours......

in a drag race because that takes pretty much no skill in my opinion

 

Ure right drag racing involves no skill

 

Lets see some pics of this '88 "modded out the ***."

 

Why is everyone so upset whether or not someone can ride a 250R, if it's stock, a 6 year old could ride it. Stock my 250 was boring to ride. My raptor was much more exciting until I got comfortable with the 250R. The thing to wonder about a 250R is if he is old enough and has enough extra income to support the maintanence schedules or has the ability to do mechanical work required with a 18 year old bike. Also, drag racing takes lots of skill. When you get to the point past where you just dump the clutch and hang on, there is a lot of strategy involved. Things like take off, traction control, and bike setup all are somethings that must be learned through experience. Coming from riding an auto clutch 4x4 there will be a sharp learning curve to just be able to take off without blowing away the rear tires. Lets just hope he has fun and doesn't get hurt.

 

Neither does smoking crack buddy..... But seriously if any of you had ever got into an organized drag race you would see that it's more then just pinning it, and dumping the clutch. You have to worry about reaction times, consistancy (with braket racing), dialing in, set up of the bike, shifting just right, tuning, ect, If you people need more details ill be glad to explain. I would love to see any of you just show up and race it down the track with out worrying about anything, but I guess somebody has to come in last. Anyways.... I like it.

 

A six year old could ride a 250R? I know your exaggerating to make a point but that is one of the most ignorant comments I have seen on this forumn.

 

I am not exaggerating, a stock 250R is very easy to ride. A stock 250R is more like a peppy blaster than a full blown racing bike. Go to Little Sahara and more than likely, you'll see a dad riding a drag Banshee and his 6-10 year old son riding a stock 250R. I think anyone can ride a stocker, but the motor responds quickly to even a small change like a pipe.

 

WOW! I'm not even gonna touch that one........

 

Hey i got a few questions, first i have an 82 ATC 250R Motor in a Quadsport...how fast should this bike go? It is stock. And also how good do the older R's respond to mods? Thanks

 

1- top speed with stock gearing and 22 inch tires about 65.... 2- the older ones respond quite well, but not as good as the liquid R's.
