12 grand...i'm thinkin that thing should be pretty good at the track. the trails are gonna be tougher cause of how wide the quad is. as for 2 strokes sucking on a track; i'm gonna have to strongly disagree with that. 250r's practicaly live on the track.

thats wat i thought to man, i havent seen the quad but my its my friends like best friend, and he is gonna give me one hell of a deal, i just hope i really like it, i mean its alot of a change from a warrior haha

The power curve is radically different from a Warrior. Make sure you get lots of seat time on it before you take it to the track.

2-strokes really have to be kept in a certain RPM range, which is why your buddy said 2-strokes suck on the track. If you're on an MX track, there is an element of danger associated with it. If you're not in the powerband when you're headed for a big jump, you'll come up short.

If you do find yourself having trouble at the track, the powerband on the 250r is easily adjusted. With a port and pipe, you can get screaming rip-your-arms-off top end power, or stump pulling low-end power, or anything in between.

Although finicky, and they take a lot of skill to ride at the track, you will never regret buying a 250r.

You can ride the 250r on trails but its better suited for mx.
