What should I Do?

[D-4our]

I know I've posted this before but the tables have turned...a little. Im having a really tough decision here...
Ive got 7 grand to spend, should I...

1) Buy a cannondale (possibly a moto)

2) Buy a yfz450

3) Buy a 7 grand 250r

4) Add 4 grand in mods. to my constant breaking 250r

If I got a dale id most likely have to buy updates and pay up to a grand in labor: With the yfz- id rather wiat 'till Honda comes out with something, but it is a badass quad: And 250r's are old and often have alot of problems unless you build a completely new motor. My preference in riding is big-jumps/ free-riding and fmx.
Im dont know which is best for my preferance.

Should i just deck out my 250 and sell it WHEN the new honda comes out?

Please...ANY help or opinions will be appreciated

id say mod out ur R and when the new honda comes out (hopefully soon) , part it out and/or sell it

[crap-banshee32]

whats breaking on your R all the time, if its motor related sell the old motor for cheap and buy a brand new one that was jsut rebuilt then spend the rest of the money on laying the rest of your quad out!!!! id keep the R if i were u!! JMO

hope i helped

well since ive had it i had to rebuild the motor, replace the side case twice and lately the frame has been cracking at various points as well as the motor mounts and my counter-balancer bearings just went out too. Im looknig to get a quad that can take a beating, i mean every time i jump something over 50 feet something on it will break. If i got good suspension it would take alot stress off of my quad though.

joe budden junior? j/k i'd go with the new yami. lotta great reviews, but then again you only got 7G to spend so aftermarket shocks/frame, whatever you need would ahve to wait. ever consider a predator?

[D-4our]

haha i didnt think anyone would understand that joke:blah: But know i dont even wanna consider the polaris. but yeah youre right i wouldnt be able to get anyaftermarket stuff. Plus I'd really like to wait for honda to come out with something and get that instead. See, i can get a dale for 4 grand and put 3 grand worth of mods. into it too.

so many ways to diss this statement....but my fingers are tired.

Id Go with the New YFZ..You get a new quad..A Pipe remove the airbox lid and some other minor mods and its a 20-30% power increase i have read..Pretty good i think..you will have some cash left over if Yammy has a deal goin like 300 bucks off..Plus if u pay 6400 u can by some shocks..

d-4our, when you gonna ride out to pismo man? buy something that runs and meet me out there!

[sweet300ex]

I would go with the new YFZ, I've seen alot of videos that prove its a great machine.

exactly! I hate it when people want to buy quads because of what OTHER people think. Take 'em for a test ride and buy what YOU like. Very simple answer if you ask me....
