Default 250r, why did they stop? what were they thinking?

Hey, I am really bother by the fact that all the companies stopped the flagship 2 strokes accept yamaha. what is wrong with them? I really don't understand what there reason was. they could still me reapin profits, espeacally honda's 250r. I mean that quad is selling for like 14 grand on ebay and they aren't selling them.

I totally agree with you about the 2-stroke quads. What the hell are honda and the other companies thinking???!!! There's such a demand for these quads (especially the 250R) even if they are going to ban all 2-strokes in the future....they would sell every one as fast as they could make them in the meantime. I'd bet they could jack the price up big time and people would STILL buy them! I know about all the legal sh__ that went on in the 80's and how the 2-stroke racing quad was labeled "too dangerous" because of a few idiots that had no clue how to handle or respect the type of power 2-strokes make. Come on, people wreck on 4-strokes too.... At least Yamaha has the ***** to keep making the banshee........but a 2003 250R would be KEWL!!!

Lawsuits and Environmentalists were the main factor in the cease of production of all the good ole 2 smokers. Sure wish I could buy a brand new tecate or 250r.
