[blastereatin250]

I just suddenly want a 300ex so bad. I really want a clutch and I outgrew the power of the 250 after the first week. Now I just have to convince my dad. What are good prices on a nice 2002ish 300? Anyone that made the switch from a 250 to a 300, was it a good switch. Feel free to post pics.;)

a 250ex has a lot of torq it wants to pick up the top end in 1,2,3 gear

the 300ex is a great machine i love it you could pick up a 02 for around 2,200 to 2,500 just check around on ebay and the for sale fourm on here fo9r an average price

the 300ex is a little bit faster than the 250ex but not at torqy IMO i perferr the 300ex ove the 250ex anyday

[300exr]

completly stock, the 250ex wont pull the front wheels in 2nd and third gear. it will in first no problem, 2nd it has a little trouble with all power on flat ground, but third you have to give the bars a mighty jerk and have a big bump or be on a hill to get it up.

but on another note, a 250ex to a 300ex isnt that much of an upgrade. yes the 300ex is better, but not by alot. it has more parts you u can buy and a clutch, thats about it. if you want any kind of an upgrade get a 400;)

[future 450?]

i felt a large difference my friend left thier 250 at my house for a week......Mass wheelies. So i was ridin that for the week and i decided to get on my 300 and it stood up. If u dont mind havin a 2-stroke take a look at a blaster...i kno ppl r gona giv me bs for this but its also a good quad

I live in IL and have a 300ex for sale. I sent you a PM about it. Please get back to me if you are interested. Thanks

skip the 300ex, go for a 400. ive seen it to many times... you get stuck paying for the 300 then you'll want something better and take a loss on the 300 to get rid of it... then have another payment for the 400.

[blastereatin250]

I am about 60 miles north of Chicago. The reason I don't want a 400 is that the insurence is like twice as much.:( I would rather pay a lot less for the 300 and then just modify it.

[hondardr4life]

You can buy mine. I know its a 98, but it already has all the modding done to it. Why buy a stock 02 for 2500 when you could buy mine for 3000. It has about 3500- 4000 in aftermaket stuff in it, and is VERY reliable. It's a little faster than a piped 400ex in top end and it has tons of torque. I raced a piped z-400 and he beat me by a little bit. Its worth every penny, and it is in great shape, so you dont have to worry about it being beat. I have all the stock parts, and the title. Theres no crack or welds in the frame, or any bent parts. Heres a pic.

[xx3003xrdrxx]

just dont register your quad then ?:huh :huh :huh :huh

[tp300ex]

i got one and out grew it in 1 year so if ur wonting somethin for long times i would go with a 400ex...but thats just me!

i rode one for 3 years and rode it to death. i know a 250ex up and down. the only way itll pull the wheels in 3rd gear on flat ground is if you do a transmission slam. and if you dont know what that is, its where u hold the gas down and pop it in gear.

[fastrider450r]

get a 450R and just get used to it...u wont regret it

[blastereatin250]

Sorry, no 450r deffinatly.:( (I'm only 13 and I would probably kill myself.)

[blastereatin250]

[Honda TRX250ex]

hahaha, are you crazy?? lol 300's are way faster than a piped 250ex. there is really no way to add top speed to a 250ex.

[blastereatin250]

ok thanks.

[fastrider450r]

i weigh 110 and race B class harescrambles with a 450r and get top 5 so its not that bad

[fasterblaster09]

Hey 300exr what front end setup are your running?

[xx3003xrdrxx]

just 400ex aarms and 400ex shocks . it works good enuf for me , im not gonnna waste money on this quad but when may comes around a 450r is under my name! Ohhhhh ;) ;) :D

[fasterblaster09]

What about just using stock 300ex shocks??..I dont do MX,no jumps,just ride and some dragging.Will it be lower with the 300ex shocks??

[hondaracer2001]

yea i got a 250ex and i dont slam my tranny and i get the front end up in the first 3 gears....its easy and im 5'9 and weigh 160lbs...the have alot of torque...i have smoked alot of machines with it...so dont tell me what a 250ex is and isnt cuz i know more than most of ya....

i wouldent say that...

[hondaracer2001]

alot of ppl say things on here that there not even sure about...but the 250ex's are nice machines...they get the job done

[Travis712]

You smoke a lot of machines with a 250ex? I don't know what your talking about, I rode one and it had a little get up and go, but not anything worth talking about. I wonder what quads you smoke, because they must REALLY suck at riding.

[FasstMidnightZ]

rofl, Listen. The 250 sucks ***, I have one, I should know. If you upgrade from a 250 to a 300 that is the wrong move. Get a 400 !!!. And, as for the wheelie in 3rd gear. James is right it is hard to get it to pull up. I have a jet kit, air filter, pipe, blah blah and its still pretty tuff.

[Honda TRX250ex]

mines all stock and i can do it w/o ne problems...:rolleyes:

[future 450?]

if u know clutch already get a 450

[future 450?]

wut bout em he;d find excitement it those for about a month and want 2 upgrade again

[hondaracer2001]

being able to pull it up in 3rd gear all depends on the tires too.....ya outta think about that ...
