08 suzuki 250 race ready

[ZSNOW]

THERE WILL BE A SUZUKI lt-r250 FOR 2008....

why would we listen to a kid in highschool?

[ZSNOW]

i'm not some stupid kid in high school....i am probably as smart as u are....i already built my own hybrid and a loaded blaster....i got the info derectly from my dad who works in the service dep. of the suzuki dealer ship...and don't talk before u know a person

[2muchquad]

Until i see it personally,i wouldnt count on it.If i remember correctly Brue Olgilvie of Honda said they were releasing a 250r replacement in the form of a 400cc or 4 stroke.They were working on the details in 96 or 97.The 400ex was FINALLY released in 99'!,go figure.So hearing something from a guy that knows somebody who has a buddy that knows somebody who has a buddy that mops floors at a suzuki shop doesnt mean much imo.:rolleyes:

Quad magizine had an article about suzuki highly considering producing a 250 race quad. It is supposed to have a modified RMZ-250 dirt bike engine and be approximately 3/4 the size of the ltr-450

the funny thing is you are in highschool too. you just took your birth year off your profile just so you could post that.:rolleyes:

as far as a ltr250 it is possible, but no body will no for sure. only time will tell.

[Mx_523]

The funny thing about this thread is that theres about two people in this thread who aren't in highschool.

I think the Lt250 would be a great idea. Hopefully it won't be shaft driven.:chinese:

[Dan229]

I hope they do make it...I would love to see them come out with two Quadracers again...Bump the 450 up to a 500 and have two full on race Quadracers like they once did with the Quadracer 250 and 500...

It makes sense to do it in my view...

[mx1791]

yea, but isnt the limit for cc's for like national racing or something 450cc?? thats why theres that kit for the predator that lowers the cc's so its legal to race, just wut i heard...

[2muchquad]

That would be a big marketing mistake for suzuki,everybody knows those rmz250fs are junk.Adding another 150lbs or so forthe motor to pull wouldnt be smart imo.:ermm:

[firefighterjosh]

I think a 250 Race quad would be good for the younger racers out there.

[2muchquad]

Actually there is a 90cc limit for riders under 16,thats why they will never make it,even though racers dont follow this rule,the factories wont be held liable,most adults wont buy a 250cc atv for racing,those engine sizes are usually reserved for wifes and girlfriends and novices.

[Ruby Soho]

a 250cc RACE quad, could be for the younger teen

[swampfoxsc]

The 90cc limit is self imposed by the manufacturers. They can change it at any time if they wanted. It was part of the Consent Decree which is long gone.

[firefighterjosh]

Its in the rules you have to be over 16 to race a 90cc and over. I am talking about like a begginer over 16. Also with the technology out there today they could prally make a 250 4- stroke as fast as a 400ex. Imagine how much lighter that would be.

[2muchquad]

Imagine how much lighter that would be.

People kill me when they say that,its not like im carrying the quad or pushing it.theres not much difference between a 400lb quad or a 375lb quad.Now comparing a 600lb utility to a blaster is a different story.;)

Incorrect. There is the Youth Production Class in the GNC's that allow 13-15 year olds to race up to a 300cc 4 stroke. It's basically the Blaster and 300EX class.

Like I said, there is no law, it's an agreement the manufacturers have. It can be changed at any time by them if they wanted to release a 250cc 4 stroke youth atv and make it for sale to 13-15 year olds. The ATVA can then make them legal for use in their race series and the rest will be history in the making.

It CAN be done but WILL it?:confused:

Well I wasn't aware of that. Thats awesome then. So maybe they will come out with something awesome for these younger riders to race. Wouldn't it be nice to be a parent and buy a already race ready quad and not have to dish 10k into a mini

[Elka83]

wow that would be amazing... i race the youth production class at nationals on my 300... 300's are nice... once u put about 15 grand in them.. if suzuki makes a race ready mid size quad then this will bring a lott more 13-15 year old riders.. even though its already one of the most competitive classes and almost all of the races are full gates.. ha

I would of liked the power of an rmz liquid cooled motor then a freakin 300 moto that hasent been changed since the 80's or even older! ha

300 motors are heavy as **** too and weight does matter whoever thinks it dosent is smoking some good stuff. power to weight ratio.

A normal rider won't notice 15 lbs, But you would be suprised what 15 lbs could do for your.

Thats 15 less lbs you have to throw around when sliding around corners.

[2muchquad]

After 2 laps theres gonna be 40 pounds of mud under the fenders and stuff anyhow.:D

[300exrider022]

i dont have roll design nerf bars.. i have the pegs and kick ups. and i dont know how much they cost they just sent them to me..;)

[300exrider022]

your lucky lol and are they banning the tc pipes from nationals nezt yr do u no?

[Tri-valleyracin]

I dont think they are unless there over 102 db. With the dics from supertrapp they can be made to pass the db test.

[firefighterjosh]

Isn't there a sport class 300cc and under? This quad would be great for that.

That quad would flat out smoke 300cc and above....I'm sure it wouldnt have a problem with 300cc and below.

[lt230racer]

dude i beleve u if it is a 4 stroke if not no beacuse all companys are droping in 2 stroke


blaster gone
lt80 gone
banshee gone
lt50 gone

[firefighterjosh]

It is a 4-stroke

GNCC has a Sport Class (AM race) and if one of the manufactures does build a bad to the bone 250, and GNCC lets it in the Sport Class, I will be on that in a flash!

For now, GNCC treats the Sport Class like the Utility Classes, you can home stead in that class if you want to...

Here are the Sport Class rules for GNCC:

Sport (ATV) - Must have OEM motor and matching frame combination model, and be restricted to the following models: Honda 250X, 250EX and 300EX; Kawasaki Mojave 250 and Lakota 300; Polaris Trail Blazer; Suzuki Quad Sport 230, 250 and Z-250; Yamaha Blaster and Warrior, and Kymco Mongoose 250 and 300. Modifications are permitted. Maximum engine displacement is 350cc.


I doubt seriously GNCC would allow it in the Sport Class or if they did, the Sport Class would be treated like a C class and they would force you to move it. If they did allow it in the class, and didn't force you to move up, that class would have the potential to dominate the AM race.

[nwi45]

I think it'd be gnarly if they released this and had two seperate classes of racing (and Pros)...250s and 450s.

Why it meets all of the requirements?, it would just have to be added to the list.

dude i know how you fell! i had this happen to me on a different site when i was tring to sell my motor and ther 2 guys were saying that my motor wasnt what it was, any ways! im glad you post this, i jopw that they come out with it, i wounder id it will be EFI? and i hope it isnt shaft.
and i have say that would be really sick to have the 2 pro classes, like in the bikes, katch, my cusins know alot of the pro bike guys and they have used them at the finals. then we can have some 16 year old pros! that would be sweet! let me know if you find anything els out! this would be sweet!

[sweet450ex]

Cover of Atva racing monthly....in the article it says quads are now switching to ama sanctioned races...like the bikes...the pros have to wear those bands to keep their lap time and all that...we got the huge health insurance now..pros will be makint he big money...ama is pushing for a 250cc pro class...which means suzuki will defenitely be onto that...so dont doubt this kid at all...

[m.h.s.c.#527]

u all need to stop giving him crap hes right if u got ur heads out of ur u no wheres and paid attention u would no its in every mag and on the net

[woodsracer144]

for that ban thing for the lap times do you put it on a part og your quad or on your wrist or on your leg or what? i think iw would be best on the quads. i wonder how much that 250 will cost.

[lt230racer]

I think that a 08 race ready 250 would be awsome! Maybe it would be like a newer version f the lt250 quadsport or the lt230 quadsport I definately thnk suzuki should bring back its old models like the lt500r Quadzilla,lt230s quadsport,lt250s quadsport and so on.

[blasterfreak99]

the thing is they will not bring back the two strokes cuz of the smog emissions

[blasterfreak99]

does anyone know anything else yet?
