now now. If life hasnt tought you anything its that you never know what to expect. Even from me.

Chet these 4-stroke jobs are garbage and they take too long to assemble.

 

I hear you I love my lawn boys and my KDX's are to bad either.

 

... Granted- the 250R has been, and still is- according to me, anyways- the benchmark for race and sport quads, but not quite the standard for 4x4 utility quads. That being said- yes, it depends on the type of riding you do and what you value in a quad. For instance- I think very highly of the Kawasaki Lakota because it's just about a do it all quad. Chain drive so you can change gear ratios, electric start- WITH RECIOL BACKK UP, not something ya see on the likes of the Z400, 3 and 400ex or Raptor/ YFZ450. Has reverse and optional racks. while it's not the out and out hell runner, I like it alot for everything it does. For hell running and terrorizing the neighborhood, I take out the Mojave.

 

I don't know but i'm addicted to the smell of 2-stroke in the morning, got to love a castor blend oil...ahh oh right for all round preformance give it up to the 250's, and the 400ex thats the first bike I learned to hold a wheelie on.

 

As far as reliablity, versitility and work ethics its hard to beat the Honda 300, they just won't die! They are strong and fun! Just my input! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

... however, back in the day- I really wanted a Warrior, and even with the current hardware out there it'll still do a good job. I'm not such a fan of the Raptor 350- the smaller 20 inch tires breack loose easier and it's more of a handful. Give the Warrior an iol cooler and you've got a good setup.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]
