MINE HAS MAXXIS RAZR'S AND WILL CORNER JUST AS WELL AS A 250R QUAD! IF NOT BETTER!!! </end quote></div>

whatever

 

ok my not corner quite as well! but a atc 250r can turn on a dime and give you 9 cents change!!!! And is a little funner on sandunes!!! lol

 

i agree with that, the atc's look like a blast on the dunes, i would love to ride one there sometime. The riding i do is better suited with 4 wheels which is why i recommend the trx. to each his own.

 

Ya i have a 4x4 quad for trail riding!! and 3 wheelers for the dunes! I am way more into the dunes lately! I got stuck with my quad in snow and about 4 hours later somebody comes up the road and takes me to my buddys then we went and rescued my quad!! That dosent happen at the dunes lol!!! i do go trail riding at riding areas!!!
but i hate going riding way back in the woods for that reason!!!

 

this is what im buying http://medford.craigslist.org/bar/1052384277.html

 

i have an atc250r engine...no frame. i am rebuilding the engine as a project and unfortunately i have no idea what year it is..all i know is its liquid cooled so it must be 85 or newer right?

 

Yes, Honda switched to liquid cooling on the '85 model year. It is the same motor for '86 and I am pretty sure also the '86/'87 TRX motor is also the same.

 

You are correct. '86/87 is the same. The head gasket was a little thicker on the 250R quads to lower compression and I believe it was the 86 that had a long rod version and short rod version.

 

The 83 is a much better deal $1500 for a stock 85 is stupidity at its finest.

 

Get the 1983, it sounds like it has a lot more put into it, the owner that had my quad didn't do any aftermarket and it is still reliable, it just isn't as fast as I would like. My freind got a nice quad though and he hasn't had any trouble with it and he abuses the hell out of it.
