If well maintained, they are awesome quads!
Very fast, and handling is like a dream!
Would I buy one?? I already have one! Have also owned a total of four of them! One of my previous 250Rs is now in my friends garage, and the other one is in my ex-girlfriends garage!

Definately good ATVs!!

Depends on the application. My favorites are the TRX250R, and YFZ450, but I ride only in the sand.

the 250r sits very low and has by far the best stock handing. the engine is fast and revs high (especially 86, correct me if im wrong) the 86 motor may have a shorter stroke than the rest of the years as well as the toughest frame. mine is an 86. they are also wider. you will not be disapointed with an r. compared to an lt250r: 1st off the aftermarket for the honda is 10 times greater. they are faster stock and handle way better. imo

imo the lt250r may have a slight edge in power stock, but the trx 250r has it in handling,hop up potential,resale,quality,and honda reliability is built in.for the money the lt250 is good , but i love my R !! and mine RIPS!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
