Well Suzuki and Kawasaki did r&d together. Imagine if it had been Suzuki and Honda? If that happened maybe todays 450r would be tommorrows Warrior. Maybe
Suzuki/Yamaha or Honda/Yamaha?

A lightweight, high-powered 250 semi-automatic 5 or 6 speed Traxlok 4x4 TRUE sport-utility. Racks optional that will look cool with or without. If you somehow gave a Recon a much peppier engine and Traxlok, that would be AWESOME. Think about it. I know reconranger and some others know what I'm talking about.

I would love to see a modern day 250r, but in reality it will never happen. Well at least with the 2-stroke type engines of the past.
Maybe a 650-700 ex/r?

I'd like to see a CRF250R based quad myself, start a whole new class.

it wouldn't be unreliable, they of course would modify the engine to handle the extra weight, I don't mean a direct drop in, kind of like how the CRF450R became the TRX450R, they were nothing alike really, but the similarities were there. If tuned right it would rip, not as fast as a 450R, but no one would expect it to.

The TRX450R and CRF450 engines are a lot alike actually. It is simply a detuned CRF450 engine to be quad friendly.
And yes a CRF250 engine would be unreliable, it is unreliable in the dirtbike for crying out loud. It requires more top-ends than a 250 2-stroke, not to mention the valves are always needing attention. And the clutch gets very hot in this engine and wears out. That is what is keeping me from buying a Honda 250f dirtbike, and Im in the market for one.
And it wouldn't be as much power as you think, right now the crf250 engine wouldn't have much power in a quad like you think. Then detune it like you said to put it in a quad, now you really have a inferior sport quad.
