Now I can buy some new, cheap, trick 250EX plastic for my 88 R. Otherwise, what a weak attempt. Geezz, build what the public wants.......ANOTHER TRX250R 2-STROKE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get your head out.

Where did the idea for a 250EX come from? Thats all we need is another underpowered supposedly sport quad. This will be able to compete with the Banshee, Raptor, and DS. Come on Honda it's time to show some guts, release a real highperformance quad. I would love to see a new version of the 250R or a 650EX that would be awesome and you know they would sell faster than you could produce them. If honda wants to compete in today's sport market something is going to have to give!

I for one, would rather put my girlfriend on this 250cc, $3800 dollar quad and have her be happy.
Than put her on a 650cc, $7000 dollar quad and have her killed when she wraps it around a tree.

Some people need too grow up and see that the whole world does not revolve around them.....

The faster the quads go.....The faster our sport is going in the crapper.....
Remember the late 80's?????

What a huge disappointment! Was anyone hoping for a quad like this?

Dude, you can kill yourself on a 250ex, just as easy. They all go 40-50 mph, you can hit a tree and kill yourself at 20-30.

The point is Honda obviously doesn't have an answer to the big-bore boys, and probably won't for a while because it will have to sell a million of those stinkin things to even have enough R&D money to think about a good high-performance quad.

JUST BUSINESS SIMPLY SAID! MORE MONEY IN THAT MARKET AND THE 300EX IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT BIKE.

and they call this a sport quad? Its got shaft drive and an auto clutch for gods sake. Since it has the same engine and basically the same wheel travel, I wonder if my recon could be called Sportrax?
