Ouch muff..that's harsh, lol!:p

Hate to vote against ya Brian...but Derek's looks a bit better...if either of you really wanted to win this poll...I woulda dropped on some 18's in the rear!:devil:

Too bad I still didn't have my old 250ex that I pimped way too much....I built it just to be a looker....slow, but a looker.:cool:

Neither. Because no matter what you do to them they're still Recons

sorry but i had to do this recons are great quads dont get me wrong, but modding them is pointless

yea and your quads a just 250r's and 400ex's. big deal if it was a recon. maybe thats all some people can afford or are allowed to have. nothing is pointless. my recon could outhandle and outrun 300ex's and warriors.

i wonder what a recon would look like set up for mx, 18 beedlocks with turfs and holeshot mx fronts, without racks, anyone have pics of a recon kinda like that?

not 18's on the rear but is this what you wanted mxjunkie? and another thing, racing isnt just mx, theres a thing called xc racing and there is a utility class. so you guys that make fun of ppl that mod recons and chit, ur just insecure and have too much money for your own good or your just plain spoiled.:o :p

hmm i was just gonna let this go, but i'm not one to sit around and watch someone talkin chit. so here goes, i've worked hard for what i've got, can you say 20-30 hours a week durin school while still maintainin a A- avg :confused: i didnt say recons are chit and everyone that has one should sell them for a 450r. they're great quads! i'd know, cause i use to own one. however i was smart enough to know that when it came time that i could out ride the reekin, instead of modding it i moved up to a 300ex, and then to a 400ex. the money that these aftermarket parts cost is insane, to get a recon to keep up with an ex will cost you as much as the ex itselft. i'm not narrow minded, heck far from it, but sometimes you gotta grow up and move up.

also you say someone might not have the money for a new quad, but if they saved up and didnt spend the money on the mods for the recon then they'd be a heck of a lot closer to something new

btw the only thing i bought for the recon was gas, oil + filters, and rear tires when the stockers wore out. it sure ran good for the beating i gave it ;)

I have to agree with Muff, modding out a recon is just pointless. Maybe putting a pipe on it and mud tires...but that's it. I don't think anyone should even attempt to mod it out for MX...that's just...:huh

ReconRider25- how does your recon outhandle a 300ex? JW.

And yes I do work for my money!

ReconRider25
06-24-2004, 07:35 PM
^^^well if they couldnt keep up with me and they seemed to be two-wheelin more and not jumpin as far it must mean something. and muff you say you just upgraded to a new quad, at the time i had the recon my parents wouldnt let me upgrade even with it being my own money and i cant stand stock so i had to do something with it. only reason they let me get the 400ex is cuz it started having major problems.....half of which were defects.:huh i wasent singling you out im just tired of ppl sayin that its pointless cuz its really not. ive had ppl on raptors and the such compliment my quad and think it was awesome. so id say it was worth it.

yea, i got about $600 in mine for aftermarket, $3200OTD in 02, busted my *** for a year to get that thing, my dad wouldent let me get a 300, so if i couldent have that i just got a uti. yea mines been trashed, bashed, rolled, stood up, flip'd back, ran wfo all the time, but she still hauls around the woods in 5th no prob:cool: shes landed 30footers and did nothing but the 5th or 6th time i hit it it blew 2 shocks out, handa warrintied for me:huh :blah: its missing bolts here and there, jetting is just a lil off, but IMO its payed for itself.:)

06-24-2004, 07:38 PM
dereks recon out handld 300exs cuz it had a set of bald tires and 2.5 inch wheel spacers and the reconis already low

Oh, Brian, just loose the roll bars, throw a little Armor-All on it, and you've got the same animal. I do like the pic of the short-wheelbase, setback front axle yellow Recon, though. That thing must turn on a dime! Prolly gets a shimmy over 80, though:eek2:

and it cost you how much to make it handle like a 300ex or warrior? I don't know why people say maybe they couldn't afford nuthin else but they have money to mod it?:huh not trying to flame i'm just pointing things out that i don't understand

Now I like the way the modded recons look, but I think its pointless. I can see why some people would do that, but it's just somthing I wouldn't do.

And my vote goes to Derik

Im spoiled because I have an R. Let me tell you, I worked my *** of for this thing. Some people just work harder for somethings than others.

Too much money for my own good, your the one modding a Recon not me :rolleyes:
