the only bike of the 3 250's that had a powervalved motor was the TECATE, I thought. It was the fastest. As for putting powervalves on you need a lot of things like new cylinders. power supply.... Banshee "cheetah" cylinders are PV and I believe T-REX's are too. The original RZ350 motor that the banshee engine was created from was powervalved makeing it a great motor swap. But they do sell PV kits for bikes like the R. But I dont believe the Blaster has one.

The LT suzuki's did not use a guillotine style powervalve therefore they did not change port timing one bit. They used a barrel style powervalve which opened to a chamber within the engine compartment and changed exhaust volume. We have a ported LT250 and a Powervalved 265 Honda and the bottom end is just as good on the Suzuki. Just letting everyone know there is more than one way to have a variable exhaust. Bubba

yep. before i start a rant here and perhaps get off topic, i am thankful to have both 250R & 450R.
the 250r is the quintessential quad. people think i am nuts for still liking the 250R better! i love the 450 engine, but sorry the 250r just handles better, has lower center of gravity, and isnt as squirrley at high speeds. maybe thats rider preference, but i cant imagine anyone wanting to get squirrley and unstable at high speeds and then declaring that a 'best handling' trait..really??. not in my book. honda could have done a little better.
the 450's have picked up the 250 wars of the late 80's with the twist of four stroke technology. thats good. now if honda would just fix the issues the 450r has, i think it really could be the REAL 250R replacement. in its current form, the 450r is a good bike, but not the great bike its predecessor was.
however honda made a machine like this it definitely had an effect on how the 450s were designed i will GARANTEE that, and when the day comes someone comes to me with a 450 that they want to try against my R, i'll gladly see which one is the best, but for me i'll keep my old 2 stroke.

so is a lt250r a good quad? I have found a 86' lt250r for only $1200 or a 92' lt250r for $1700 which is a better quad
here is the info:
86'click he for the 86'
92' click here for the 92'
Now right at the moment i have around 1500-1600 to spend right at this moment but in about a month i may have 1800-2000 to spend. Should I save up and get like a 400ex or raptor or somethin like that?
