why doesn't honda produce the 250r anymore? yamaha has the banshee still. if honda did remake them it would be the top selling quad on the market.

ahhh politics.

Yamaha said screw the enviroment. We hate trees and we hate people that hug em.

And said... if you crash , you crash.. go sue Honda.



.... Ok so maybe its not exactly like that.:square

Yea it was beacuase too many people got hurt riding them and they were too dangerous, I'm sure they attacked people with the under 16 yr restriction too just for another law suit, im not sure though, I know the top was that they were too dangeruous, maybe they kept the banshee becuase yea they said screw it sure us but we can afford it and honda maybe just wimped out so th8ey dont get fined or lose money so then they would look bad?? I dunno

I wouldn't believe a thing from Honda as to why they quit building the TRX250r. They have no good reason.
If it was because they where too dangerous why would they keep building the motocross bikes and the high performance street bikes ?
If it was because of the environment why the **** do they keep building the CR250 ? ( although 2005 may be the last 2 stroke) That's 16 years longer than they built the TRX.
Another thing that pisses me off is now the GNCC is so hot on this Pro Production class. Where the **** where all the factories for the last 15 years ? (taking the money from ATV sales and dumping it into bike R&D!) . What is stock on the Pro Production bikes other than the frame and your even allowed to gusset that . If they want a Production class I say run em the way you buy em from the dealer.

All that politic crap sux. Thats the same reason suzuki stopped making sport quads, they were really starting to suck, but then started to come out w/ some good quads. Honda really needs to get a new sport quad out soon. If they were still making the 250R right now they would be making so much money, that they could use to make even more new quads. Damn those tree huggin hippies, they dont even know what its like to ride a quad.
