first ride on 250r

[maynard22]

A week or so ago some buddies and I went out to the dunes and I rode a 250 punched out to a 330r all I can say is WOW! That thing was scary fast, fun has hell, but I will stick with my 4 stroke, i would kill myself in the woods with that 330r.

[gpd005]

I hear ya man, my buddy has a 330R and i rode it out in the open field and thought man this thing is fast. Then we went to the woods and i smack a tree real fast! I couldn't hold on to that thing for very long if i was in an XC race that's for sure!

I used to woods ride my 310R all the time. Once you get used to it, its a blast.

I would take my LTR450 over my old LRD/Laeger 310r any day. Its time for 2 strokes to take a dirt nap.

[Chicksdigme423]

ooooooo bashin the 2 strokes:cool:

[shano]

Haha, 250rs are legendary, but 4 strokes are taking over..

I don't care what four stroke quad you have, you still cannot beat the thrill of a modded out 250R or Banshee hitting the powerband!!!:devil:

[Mean250r]

you people will never stop bashing on the 2 strokes eh? 4 strokes are newer yes, but it will NEVER EVER have the handling of a 250r, the motors are like 3 times the size. im not bashing on the 4 strokes either cuz i jus got one :D . but seriously 2 strokes have there good and bad points. and 4 strokes also have there good and bad points :rolleyes:

New technology vs. 20 yrs old....jeesh I wonder....:rolleyes:

[Scott-300ex]

CT_330R was your R in ATVSPORT? You said it took $22,000 to get it like that?

And I say 250r's for life.

I'm lookin for one, think I got a good hit with one.

2-strokes are awsome, power. Instant power with a 2-stroke, or slowly movin up rpms with a four

[TheFontMaster]

I love 250r's:macho The first 250r I rode was the one that I built. The fact that I spent a year and 2 months, and about 4 grand on it just made it all the better.:cool:

[Scott-300ex]

My cousin just got a 450r and them my other cousin asked me if I found a 250r and I'm like I think I got one lined up.

So my cousin with the 450r asks me why I want a 2-stroke. I'm like, why do you want a 4-stroke, cuz 2-strokes sound and smell good, uh, hardcore powerband, instant roost/wheely/kickin your *****!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was on the way out to his house for easter and I saw a 250r on a trailer I stop in and they are eatin I'm like, dang this is rude, sorry. They come up to the door anyway and I ask if the guy that owns it wants to sell it or knows of one for sale, then a guy in there goes "Its the same guy who didn't want to sell the other one." I'm like wtf. Turns out it was the guy I talked to like 3 weeks ago askin if I could buy his other one cuz he has 2. I'm like "Brad is that you?" Hes like "Yeh, I haven't forgot about you though." I'm like "Sweet." LoL

Funny little story if you were there.

[250R-Dee]

I'll take premix and a wicked powerband over valve lash adjustments and timining chains any day of the week.

Hell, if a the pro's still rode 2-strokes most of you 4-poke lovers would be trying to emulate them. :p

[hondardr4life]

That is exactly what I said the first time I rode an R. I have rode some pretty mean 4 strokes, and they are a lot of fun, but the 250r is a legend, I have wanted one forever, and I finally have it. I guarentee that if I had a full MX 450r, with the best of everything, I would still want a 250r. Both machines have their good points and bad points. A lot of people who have never ridden an R talk about them, and once they get off of one they just say wow.

[chunky]

i would have to say i was pretty impressed the first time i rode my neighbor's R....i had only ever ridden one other 2 stroke and that was my blaster...it was a world of difference...i liked it more than my friend's yfz but the r was piped and had aftermarket suspension the yfz was all stock

[Mxjunkie]

I've ridden some pretty well built 265r's and a pv 265r but I'll be damned those 330r motors are insane if they are built right.

[tazman7]

I have never ridden a new four strole but if they are anything like the older ones- they can have them. We have a 1990 Yamaha Warrior bored to a 440- you think it would be fast, that thing is a turd compared to my R.

I am going to go ride a buddies new yfz loaded with alba stuff as soon as my foot heals- I will tell him to ride my R and see what he says. Ill just say make sure you hang on *****es

That's the same reaction I got from one of my friends who is used to riding a predator, and a 450r.:macho

[cosborne]

My buddy has a modded 250R and it is fun to ride behind him because you can't beat the smell of a 2-stroke, especially when they run Klotz.

Your retarded.

[Scott-300ex]

Nice come back rmz250.

I got an 89 250r today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn, talk about awsome. I just give the bars a slight tug and can ride a wheelie. I sat on the gas tank and just a little pick up and I carried the front end and rode a wheelie.

1 word

AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm the happiest person on earth. Can't wait to go ride!

lol, maybe your 300ex couldnt rev, but any 450 will rev as quickly as a 250r, not that that matters at all because the power delivery is so different.

[Sjorge450R]

I have this race season, and next on my 300ex. And then I am getting a 250r. The main reason is that they are Cheaper to buy and cheaper to mod then the new 450's. Plus everyone says that they kick arse.

[zedicus00]

330R's are about the biggest bore that can be reliable... sounds like he didnt break it in right.

Yeah man, my buddys 330r has 2 seasons on it and the compression is perfect etc. The 265 he had had a year on it and still ran strong before he went with a 330.

If your friend blew a head gasket he either runs the piss out of it and doesnt know how to ride a 2 stroke (no offense) or he didnt break it in properly. That or the motor was poorly built.

[JR3]

Yea i dont know but he was sick of a 2 stroke anyway so now theres a yz426 in the frame its almsot done im sure hell put pics up on here or i will when its done. id like to have a banshee or 250r just to play around on. But ill never race anything but a 4 stroke.

[zedicus00]

some of us old timers who know the clutch and can hear exactly when our engine is in the power are a LOT faster on 2-strokes then 4... but yes, we are a dieing breed. its really a shame... im not saying that theres a lot more skill in riding a 2-stroke. just that its a different kind of skill.. sort of finness (2-stoke) vs. brute force (4 stroke)

[Scott-300ex]

Yeh man, back in the day when I got into this I was like 6 I'd say, then I got a dirtbike and raced, and all that raced, on the flatrack at least was a full line of 250r's.

And even on mx, every single bike was a 2-stroke, in dirt bikes.

Now last Saturday at the races it was all yfz's and 450r's. It kills me, but thats just how times change. If I could go back to how it was 10 years ago I would appreciate it even more.

Yeh, 2-strokes are made for ridin hard, and hang on cuz they hit hard. LoL. 4-strokes you can lug and take it easy on. Easier on the body but not near as fun!
