250r Vs 400ex

[FL-R]

I have a some what built 86 250R and love it, but Ive been thinking of trying to trade it for a built 426 or 440 EX a 99 to 04 I hate the new body style. Ive rode a somewhat stock 400 (port work, pipe filter, jet) and its got some power. Mostly I play race , fast trails, freestyle, and some MX races. I know they arent as fast as some built 450s but I dont care about that. Anyone want to trade their bike for a 250R. I live in central FL.

Man I would love to get my hands on a 250r but I have way too much money in my 400 to get rid of it.

Not to steal your thread but where in central Florida are you? Where do you ride?

[FL-R]

Im in tampa, kinda central from top to bottom of the state but not side to side. I go to Croom, and their is a small legal spot we are slowly building a track on in brandon. And a few other places

Any more Input on if I should try and switch or not

I have a 416ex and a 270r and IMO the R blows it away in almost all situations. The only place the ex stands a chance is if I go for a long ride and need the extra fuel economy. The R sucks about 50% more fuel than the ex.

I live on the other side of Orlando from you right near the bithlo MX track. There arent many places over here to ride...:( As far as switching idk. Your opinion really. I like four strokes so i love my 400ex. Its a great trail quad, a capable race quad, and easy on the pocket book. I have never ridden a 250r so my opinion my be biased and inacurrate but from what i understand, they are a great dune quad, capable mx quad, but parts are expensive.(again from what i hear) My personal opinion, keep the 250r to play on and try to find a cheap 400 for a project...

The only thing it really lacks is A arms and a axle. I just put some 450R shocks on the front and the rear has been re/worked by PEP
And it has 18 MXR4s on the back and some 20 MXs front, the razars are a freinds
