Default Saying bye bye to my 250R

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.

Wow, you are the first person I've heard make that comment. I respectfully disagree.

That's cool, you are intitled to your opinion.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] What part do you disagree about?

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?
You said the 450's were more predictable in the turns, that's what I said I respectfully disagree to.
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]

Sweet man, I found me a good little southern girl a few years ago and have no regrets. Be careful tho, I have a little one on the way and that puts a hurting on the toy funding. No regrets tho.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I agree that either can be tuned to how you want. When I said predictable, I meant not as "snappy".



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?

I actually live in SE Indiana. I've never been to Earlywine but I've ridden at Big Rock in Maysville. I would like to check out Earlywine sometime.
