MasterOfDisaster,

Why is it so hard to believe that everyone's "beloved" 250R could get spanked by a Polaris? These machines, while heavy, can still make over 70 horsepower on a stock bore. Try that with a 250R. The seamless shifting of the transmission on the 400s also helps as opposed to the manual shifting on the 250R. Heck, modified 400s have been beating Banshees for years, where have you been?

Mike is right. Just because it says Polaris on it, does not automatically mean it has no potential. Sure, a stock Sport might not be much compitition for a 250R or Banshee, but the 378cc engine is the Polaris is quite easy to modify, and if done right, can be a screamer.
It's like the old Buick GN and GNX's. Sure, they only had 6 cylinder engines, but tell that to the camero or mustang it just smoked, or the guy running his GN down the quarter mile in 10 seconds. Same goes for the Polaris. The only people that say they are always slow or could never beat a 250R are the ones that know nothing about that engine.

You sure that's a 250R, it looks like a 3 wheeler to me. Of course I do have bad eyesight.

The Honda 250R was a three wheeler before it was a four wheeler.

The three wheel Honda 250Rs (ATCs) would be even more of a challenge. They are a LOT lighter than the TRX 250 Rs and will accept almost all of the same engine mods (not including the pipe).

Lurch summed it up in that first post, you go Lurch!!!! <----Kudos!

Sport 400's are badass quads like the other guys said easily modified as well, and been spankin banshee's for years!

Most people do think that just cuz it has Polaris written on it that its a POS <----WRONG!!!!

I love watchin these videos of competitors getting smashed by Sport 400's!

You know what the funny part is? The Honda guys are putting Polaris 400 cylinders on their 250R's to try to keep up with us! Check out this link:
