ok how many of you have been on a 250EX? probably you who are talkin bad about them haven't. Sure they probably aren't as good as a 300, but the look a heck of alot better if you ask me. And i have ran many of blasters before and will smoke them off the line and will pull away its just when the high end picks up on them crappy things is when they will catch you. The 250EX is so much more reliable than the Blaster too. And yes it sport quad.

are u on crack??? seriously. Im not a fan of yamahas, but a blaster is prob. the most reliable 2 stroke around. THat and the entire quad can take such a massive beating, and it never dies. I cant believe ime geting involved in one of these posts. But i personally think all 3(blaster, 250EX, and 300EX) are ALL TURDS!! They are ALL beginner quads.

And anyways, if u blow blasters away all the time, why do u have to ask the question??:rolleyes:

PS. A blaster will eat up a 250EX in a heartbeat

lol

Hey i was gonna get a blaster but hell no they dont even have reverse! U people dont even no what riding a quad is. I gurantee you havnt been in mud as high as the muffler on a grizzly. You try riding in mud like that and see what it does to your friggen two stroke chain blaster! I'm pissed!

But hey its all good if u ride a quad your bound to have fun!:rolleyes:

lol

o and honda_250x_87, if u can afford a house why do u ride a 250 X!

JK dude i'm just kidding!

honda_250x_87

02-25-2003, 04:01 PM

cause i got it for a real good price, it works EXTREMELY good, its got great power (for a 250) & i just like riding... thats about it..

lol

02-25-2003, 04:08 PM

Than why do u have to put us guys on 250 EX's down, were similar u no, 4 stroke 250's YAY!:blah

i have been on a 250ex before..trust me its not a sport quad..drive shaft,no clutch and its only a 250 4 stroke...i mean there nice little bikes to go around on but there deffinetly not faster than a blaster in a drag..and ya a blaster isnt made to go in mud..lol and there actualy reliable ..i still have my blaster..look in sig...but no something like the kfx700 is a sport quad cause of its size...even though theres no clutch and its a drive shaft

honda_250x_87 I have a friend with a 250x and it is a slow turd too. It has a cobra exhaust and K&N filter with some other junk on it and it is slow. Lets see, a 250 4 stoke!! Just like a 250ex. And bro, you say why dont I get a 300ex, Well you have a 250, so why dont u get a 300ex. And your saying that your 250x is hella fast just because it is a clutch! Kinda strange to me.

02-25-2003, 09:23 PM

dude..a 250x is a totaly different bike than the 250ex..first of all the 250ex is only 229cc's..its the same motor out of the utility recon...only a few minor things were changed for it to be put in the 250ex...now the 250x has higher compression,faster cam,more cc's..its a faster motor and those are facts right there no lies...a 250x is compared to a 300ex in most cases..250x's are sport machines..but not 250ex's..there more of a beginner quad

i can tell ya y i dont have a 300ex, or even a 400.. its because im in the process of looking for a car. i'd rather have a cool car. & my 250x runs very good, i never have to put money into it. so i'll keep it just ta frig around on, just to have somthin ta drive.. & a 250x is totally diffrent from a 250ex.. im not sayin clutches make it faster, im just sayin i'd rather have a clutch. im sure most people here would too.. & i betcha my 250x isnt as slow as ur 250ex.

Im sure its not, but it will be soon! My parents have bought everything that is on my 250ex. As soon as I get a job, or my millionare grandma dies, (which ever comes first). I swear to u it will be one of the baddest 250ex's around. Im not really looking to go a whole lot faster, i know im slow, I raced a raptor that topped at 100!! LOL, just for fun, we raced the 1/4 mile, and he gave me a half way head start, and he still beat me soooo bad.

a 250ex and a blaster couldnt be much more different than each other, the 250ex is a good lil sport quad, it is reliable as a mother 2. I had a recon for about a year, i beat the chit out of that thing and it still ran like a top when i sold it. My freinds thought i was crazy because of the way i rode it, i would be doing small doubles in my backyard and doing wheelies through all the gears, i musta rolled that thing 15 times and never even bent the bars. the blaster is something so much different from the 205ex, it can be modded to hell and be mothafookin fast. But stock they feel kinda funky:huh

I plan on putting an extra 3000 to 4000 $ on my 250ex. I took 5 rings out of my E-Series plus the spark arrestor, it backfired with all the rings, but now it sounds loud and smooth!!

I agree, everything you put on it, makes them alot faster. Thanks for backin me bro.

lol if you spend that much $ on a 250ex thats dumb..because if you buy a used 400ex with not very many mods at all your 250ex wouldnt even come close to the 400 ever..or a stock 400 prolly..lol just get a 250r and put the money in that..and youd smoke alot of stuff..lol that would be worth it ..rather then putting money in a 250ex.. :p

I dont really care that much about smokin everyone. I want somthing that gets me from point A to point B the funnest way possible, while looking sweet as hell. If I bought a fourwheeler that goes over 80, then I would no longer be on this website, I would kill myself. I would have the gas mashed all the time.:devil

were not smashing the 250ex ..theres nothing wrong with the bike we were just trying to say that it wasnt faster than a blaster:p

Sportrax10

03-01-2003, 12:32 AM

I bet a 400ex would get you to point B a lot funner then a 250ex.

Unless you but really big tires on your 250ex, there is no way you can match a Blaster in top speed because you cant change your gearing.

Have you ever rode a real quad like a 400ex, or even a Blaster. After you ride it for about an hour you might decide maybe your 250ex isnt a sport quad after all. My sister has a 250ex and I used to have a Blaster. You cant beat a Blaster in a drag race unless the person riding the Blaster is a really sucky rider.

BTW, im really not trying to flame...

a pipe and a filter on a 250ex proly wouldnt beat a stock blaster still..lol..and if you just ad a pipe to it..it adds alot on a blaster..

obvously u have no clue about what the hell your talkin about.. its as simple as this.. a blaster races my 250x, my 250x races a 250ex... there ya go, thats been done many times around here.. & i think u need to shut the fu*k up cause ur gettin all that stuff turned around.. A 250EX IS NOT A SPORT QUAD!! its got the same motor as a fourtrax 250 utility!

03-27-2003, 07:11 AM

Hey Honda 250X 87 what about hte new KFX700 its motor is based off a utility. Yeah its been tuned differently, and so has the 250Ex from the recon. And to everyone its really about how you ride. The blaster has more top end but the 250 has low end. I still think a 250ex i better though. The are so reliable and more powerful, and at least once you get a 250 goin it will stop. my buddies blaster brakes suck.

i'm sorry but 250EX riders are so clueless. i mean its not a bad quad but come on. anyways i'm not here to bash the 250ex just here to set some records straight. first things first. the blaster is better than the honda in EVERY way. except maybe reliabilty but both quads are so damn reliable that that doesn't even matter. blasters go forever and so will a 250ex. the blaster is just the better quad. also 250x is faster than the 300EX. the v-force 700 is made for gncc racing where an auto transmission and shaft drive are very good things, therefor its still a sport quad. the 250ex is designed for beginners to learn to ride on.

03-27-2003, 10:32 AM

a blaster will eat a 250ex, i had a blaster, and had a few things done to it, and i would beat some 300ex's. so i think it would beat a 250ex. but i'll tell you what, my bro has a 300ex, and he just put a pipe, jets, filter, and did something to the carb, and he would just pull away from me....

some of you guys with 250's are over rating them a little. in a drag race or on a MX track a blaster will bea the ex cause it's got the acceleration to clear the jumps and it's got 6 gears for a drag race. but...in the woods the ex just as good as or better than the blaster. i know it stops alot better than the old ones, it's alot tippier cause of the tires, and it has NO clearance under the swingarm for ruts. neither is a bad bike.

for everyone..............live/ride by this saying: love what ya ride, and ride what ya love.

as you can see in the sig, i ride a 250ex, and i like it. sure, i don't usually beat blasters in a race (although i do occasionally beat one once in a while), and the same goes for most other quads, but i still enjoy my machine. yes, i could use more power, and i could definitely use more suspension, but the fact is that the 250 is what it is- a beginner's sport machine.it wasn't designed to be a racer, nor was it designed to be high-performance. it was simply made to be an overall fun machine. and you can still have fun even when you're not winning..........unless you're losing in a pink slip race eek:

personally, i'm starting to get a little big for my quad....i have the slowest machine in my group (a 250R, a few 400's, a 300, a raptor, a ds, and a scrambler), and i'd like to keep up with them. so as of late, i've been looking at buying a bigger used machine. i believe that for the money, this is the way to go , instead of further modifying the 250. am i saying that modifying the 250 is stupid? no, not at all. i would love to see/ride a 250 with a lot of money pumped into it. but i'd rather have someone else use their money to find out the potential of this machine, rather than my own :) .

like i said earlier..........love whatcha ride, and ride whatcha love.

Ok guys calm down a lil...lol Even thought i do have a blaster i say it will beat a 250x a 250ex and a 300ex and can keep up with a 400ex but i have stuff done to it..like 240 port n polish shaved head bigger carb etc. Even in dirtwheels a couple of years ago they had a mojave vs. blaster vs. 300ex vs. warrior......The warrior was the fastest with 54mph the blaster n second with 52mph the 300 with 51mph and the mojave with 49.....The overally quad was the warrior with the blaster and 300 with the same rating...:macho :macho :macho :macho :macho :confused2 :confused2 :confused2

03-30-2003, 03:47 AM

look, a blaster is faster than a 250ex, a 250x/300ex/blaster/mojave/warrior are basically the same speed, just different motors and stuff, dont argue about it, the 250ex does what it is built for, the blaster does what it is built for, none of them are racebikes stock, so who cares?

^^^^thank you for saying this.^^^^ i used to have an 87 250X and it would tear up any 250ex. the 250ex is a whole different bike made for beginners who dont want a clutch and for something that is good for the average weekend warrior who doesnt want the maintenance of a chain drive sport quad. i think the only way the 250ex had the blaster was the brakes catagory, until this year:blah

03-30-2003, 07:38 AM

a 250ex is not a spor quad at all. its actually a 229cc engine.it has an auto clutch and its shaft driven. they are slow and the engine based from the recon. theres no way a 250ex could beat a blaster. a 250x is nothing like a 250ex. the only similarity is the 250 name even though the 250x has more cc's and there four strokes. a 250ex is no competition for a blaster,300ex,or 250x. they barely go 50mph. even my yamaha moto4 200cc has beaten a 250ex.
