will this be the year 440EX's take over the tracks from the 250R's ???

You are absolutly right. I see the same if not more ex than Rs anymore at the local and regional races. It appears up here on the tighter tracks, Rs don't stand a chance agains a bored ex. I think its the torque. On the longer faster tracks they appear to be pretty well matched. There are still those few with full mod Rs that spank everyone but that is to be expected. Up here its not so much 440s but 416 and 426. I also see a lot of stock 400s winning too.

You are absoulty(sp?)2fiftyx!I think that it stinks but you have to live with it.But the new 4 strokes are alot faster than they used to be.It's all technology.I think it stinks but hey I would rather ride a 4 stroke than not ride at all.I love my 300ex and would much rather be riding that than walking.

The latest 4 stroke ATV's are definitely a vast improvement. The technology is better and RPM range much higher. Still one thing will always be ... the motors will always be much larger than their 2 stroke predecessors which unfortunately adds more weight and different handling characteristics but they'll probably improve that too with some new space age material. Why not TITANIUM???? Everything is using it now. Titanium casing with plastic pistons, yeah right!
I'm impressed with the 400EX and Yamaha's Raptor but I still wouldn't trade my 250R or a banshee for them yet.

I'll bet a supercharged, nitromethane YZ250F would make more power than a modded-out 250 2-stroke, and it'd probably last just as long too. Yes, the 2-stroke is producing power on every revolution, but it's much less efficient than the 4-stroke, so a normal 2-stroke produces ~1.5 times the power of a normal 4-stroke of the same size, but also uses about twice as much gas.
