back in the day, quads getting bad publicity, saying they were too dangerous, thats when all the sport quads dissappeared, 250R, LT250R, Quadzilla, Tecate......

they stopped making it because of the laws that were put in place and the bad rep becase people thought atv's were like cars at the time or most people anyway :rolleyes:

Honda, as well as many other companies, where getting lawsuits because they were all hi-performance quads. Another reason is that people said 2-stroke fumes were bad for the environment (aka also known as "tree huggers" like WOT400ex stated)

So production of the Honda Trx 250R was stoped mainly because:
-Lawsuits
-Environmental factors

that thing was so bad ars! :( but they should make an edited version if thats possible to not "polute the environment" so much. Or just make it wider up in the front and longer in the rear so that so much morons dont flip, etc so much. :rolleyes:

honda wouldnt make a new "edited" 250r. the 250r will never be re-released. its a legend and will always be. todays top racers are using thumpers. but yet jermiah jones is riding a 250r and he has been top 5 for quite some time... :confused2
