I'm with Pappy, I try not to think about those things :chinese:

I just spent close to 3K last winter for GT Thunder to build me a new race motor to compete with the 450's.

Overall, over a period of 6 years that i've owned my 400, I have put well over 13K into it :eek2:

Yeah I know, but that's like putting a price tag on fun and the thrill you get from riding a quad/dirtbike. I haven't found anything else that can compare.

My quad cost 6,000 new, it was a special Yoshimura Edition.

5,000 in aftermarket.

It's a 11,000 race quad.

I think this is more than a hobby!:eek2:

Bought 416ex at $2,900. Then ended up dumping another 2 grand, with less than 10 total hours of riding time, since I owned it.

Why dont you just sell the 250x and get a 400ex and put nerfs on it and your set, much more power with all the sutff on your 250x and more relible.

Me neither, I just check my bank account after purchases to make sure that there is enough money in there to pay some bills...

You want to think about something that will really make you scratch your head?Figure up how much you have invested in the sport/hobby all together.things such as the quads,extra parts,trailer or toy hauler,gear,etc......

Makes me damn glad I don't have too many other hobbies..:eek2:

Nope, i think it would be sweet, but then again if you are telling the truth about getting 95s in each class, you deserve every penny!;)
