Battle of the 250s
#12
the 250x is one of the most reliable quads ever made. search the topic of 250x and feast your eyes. and they don't make the 250x anymore because it got replaced by the 300ex. well not really replaced. they made a few changes to it and gave it a new name

well it is an 87'. i just bought it a week ago. it has a pipe on it. thats the only thing that would change the preformance. i don't have much land so i don't know what is feels like going top speed. but stock it is supposed to go 56-57 stock. but with the pipe i think it could go 60 + or - a few.

i liked the riding the CR, never got to ride any of the others. people say that YZ gets down pretty good stock.

Well I have personally seen a drag race between my buddies. One has an 03 YZ125 (stock) , the other has a 95 YZ125 (Procircuit platnum exhaust), and a 01 DS650(stock) They ran for about a 1/2 mile down a dirt rode. The dirt bikes out accelerated the DS but the DS caught up afet a little. The 95 YZ BARELY nudged out the DS, because of its 6th gear. Now with a 250, that will annilate any stock quad. It all has to do with power to weight ratio. I have riden my buddies 88 KX80 and that thing is FAST. It will without a doubt outrun a 250 4 stroke. With that said, the YZ125 has been the 125 of the year of a few years. The YZ250 can only be better. Yamaha makes a hell of a dirtbike. I have an old 71 DT250 and that thing still runs
