If you are looking for speed the 250 Tboss isnt what you want.But it is a good worker and fun to ride but dont expect a speed demeon

I'd keep the 250r, and deal with pushing it backwards.

Or just sell it and get something like a z400.

A big bear does like 45mph tops due to there gearing. My 2wd 250 MOTO 4 was faster than my 4x4 Big Bear.

A 250r 3 wheeler,thats Hondas 3 wheeler with a Cr250 2 stroke motor? If so that will smoke bretty well any ATV made period.

Guys he said it's a 1982, it's NOT a TRX250R, it's an ATC 250R. Also it would be an air-cooled engine. Not a higher performance liquid.

A 1996 Trail Boss certainly wouldn't be my first choice if moving from a trike to a quad, but to each their own. There are many better choices in the Polaris line-up than 13 yr old technology. Polaris has come a long, long way in the last 5-8 yrs.
