Everyone here can take criticism to a certain extent, its the lack of taste that makes you look like a moron. Every summer a new wave of sh!theads joins the crew. They either fade away or eventually learn to fit in.

O.K. I was a little harsh on Honda. I have actually owned several but, I am a Yamaha man now.

AS a matter of fact if you are talking about me I own 4 quads all Yamaha. No comment about war and politics.

The vibrate like crazy, you jam gears twice as often and they don't wheelie for chit (takes more skill). Those are the drawbacks. The R is better suited for open areas and drags and the EX is better suited for general rec riding.
are you on crack? what vibration,what gear jamming,hard to wheelie. come to pa. ,i'll let you ride a good 250r! mine is smooth, very fast, and woods ridden. i like the 400ex , and lose the if you dont have a 400ex its junk mentality dude! and i wheelie with throttle only in 4th gear with 14,39 gearing. the 400ex wheelies easy because of weight distribution, not big power!!

The 250r is an awsome quad. My neighbor has a 330 kit and FMF pipe in his and it smokes banshees, 450r's and Quadzillas. I have video from when we were at the dunes and nothing could beat it all weekend. I just need to figure out how to post a 15min video. Can anyone tell me how or where to post a long video with these races?

I doubt that honda sucks after making motorcycles for around 50 years.

I'm not knocking the the 250r, I just named the drawbacks. It's a great quad. They both have their strong points. I have seat time on both and that's how I call it. You obviously don't.

A) Never been on a 2-stroke that didn't vibrate more than a 4 stroke.
B) That 2-stroke produces it's turque over about a 3-4K rpm range versus 5-6K for the EX.
C) See B, it takes more talent to balance and hold a wheelie on the R with the hard hitting power band.
D) KMA.

They have lots of mods for the 250r. And the 250 probably has a lot more power than the
honda 400ex.
