im trying to buy a new quad for my gf and me every once in a while to play with, but im bidding on a 2000 honda recon 250 in good condition on ebay you think 1200 should get it if not 1400? cuz thats all i can offer, any thoughts you think i should get it? but anyone make aftermarket pipes for them? CZR makes one but idno if there good...and everyone who owns them what do you think about them? the goods and the bads?

 

i sold my wife's recon last year for $1350

 

hmm what year was it? hopefully nobody will battle with me on the bidding theres like 5 days left and my bid is 1,199 leading and i can go up to 1400 if i have too...was it a good bike though?

 

it was an 01... yeah it was a good bike, she outgrew its capabilities and stole my scrammy from me so i sold hers and bought the brute. it never gave us a lick of trouble

 

I've got a 2000 Recon and it does well for what I'm using it for (trail ridin, some mud, and hunting). I paid $880 for mine and I only had a few minor things to fix so you should be able to get that one for no more than $1400. It's a great little quad and although it doesn't have the power of the bigger bikes it is still fairly peppy.

 

Great fun little machines! Pretty much bulletproof, with some simple maintenance. If you don't need the racks or the big fenders for protection from the wet, then the 250EX is a very similar machine, but a substantial 50 pounds lighter and a bit more stable!

Be wary if it is an ES. There are half a dozen ES problem posts on the board today, so it's buyer beware on that one!

FMF makes a couple of mufflers that fit this engine. That, a UNI air filter, and some vents in the airbox lid (and of course a rejet), will perk it up a little.

 

yea kool thanks i dont think its an ES but ill let yall know if i get it
