That'd be nice, but I don't graduate college for another year and I don't make enough $ at my part time job to buy another one.

I understand. I had to get rid of my Z400 so my gf could keep hers. It was that or my bike, I figured get rid of the quad because I can still take hers out with my buddies.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
I see you are my age, what are you going to school for?

Criminal Justice. One year left and Im gone! Yeah, Im not the type to go crazy over a woman, but I finally found a gorgeous little country girl who loves all of the same stuff I do. If I have to sell my R so that we can have fun on the weekends together on a quad that requires less maintenance, then its worth it.

IMO, a 250R has more of "snappy" handling charactoristics, and a 450R has more of a "floaty" handling to it. Don't know if you understand what Im saying or not, but what is your take?

Properly set up, either one can be made to handle however you want, so I guess there is really no reason to argue. Where in Ohio do you live? I should have my long travel 310 done pretty soon, come try it out, maybe I can change your mind when you ride one properly set up. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Im South of Dayton, about an hour from Kentucky. What part of Kentucky are you in, I might come try out your 310 sometime?
I also race dirtbikes down in Maysville, KY. At the indoor track called Earlywine. You ever been?
