yea i agree they r about the same but i think that the 300ex is faster. I have a dirtbike but im getting a quad around cristmas so what should i get cuz i no som 1 selling a 250ex for 2000 and i could probably get a used 300ex for cheap + i go upstate a lot but nothing crazy like huge mountains so what should i get???

 

hey guys im new to the sight but i have been riding hondas for 9 years now. I had a 250 recon in 01 it was fun in all but it was heavy and it lumbared around and the grears where a little far away for sport riding but for trail it was great. it was majorly under suspended how ever. I have a had a 300ex for 2 years now its an 03. i absolutly love it. it is a a million times faster that the recon is and i am very sertine it would kill a 250ex even in stock trim. i have done alot to mine and the parts are sometimes hard to find but they are out there. if u where to buy the 250ex the parts u want way not even exist. If u plan to ride with a group of inexperinced riders on slow trails alot or u don't want to jump much the 250 is a great machine it is rock solid an dso is the 300. i loved them both but the 300 is a far more capable machine.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Dont waste your money on a tourqless Blaster or a weak quad like a 250. Go with the 300, i used to have a 250, but the 300 kills it.

 

O yeah, theres a big diff, in the 250X and 300EX, the bore for once, and the 300 is electric start and the 250 is not and im preety sure the 300 has more ground clearence and width.

 

An 05' TRX250EX is anything but slow for a 250! I smoked my friends 500 sportsman and his 500 scrambler. i also left a 350 recon in 4th gear on a curvy county road.


My TRX only has a carb upgrade, i can sit on the gas tank and ride wheelies(and im a bigish guy)im 14 years old 5',10" 200 lbs, although.. its mostly muscle( i bench 170 and dead lift 300). If i really get on i cant get it up through 2nd and 3rd gear.... can't ride it though... it either drags the grab bar or falls back down.. if any has tips please help...
