new 250ex

[smokinwrench]

I traded off my boys 2006 TRX90 for a new 2007 TRX250ex yesterday. I picked it up this evening. He rode it just a little bit in some vacant lots by our house tonight. Mom says he is to small for it but I'm sick of him blowing up the 90.

Only regret is that I didn't wait for the white 08. We have a 50 mile poker run in a dry sandy river bed on July 4th and I didn't want him blowing up his 90 again.

I am very impressed how snappy it is for a shaft drive 250.

yeah i guess there snappy if u are at like 2500 - 3000 rpms and nail the throttle but it really starts to shrink on yah after a while ... i dunno how old your son is but at 14 i can tell you im sick of mine ...

He just turned 9 a few weeks ago. I was goofing around on it tonigth and I'm impressed wtih how it handles. I'm sure a lot of it is the fact I can just throw it anywhere I want to.

I'll help him roll it back over. He couldn't roll his trx90 back over either.

I am hoping to never have to work on it.

i dont wanna come on strong but theres alot more weight and power in that 250 than their was in his 90 id just really know where he is when hes riding it cuz if gets stuck under it, it could be a while before you relize somethings wrong and go looking because i know if it was stuck on me id have trouble lifting it and being 14 im easily twice to three times as strong as a nine year old and still no where near the strength of an adult

Nothing major has ever gone wrong with mine, and sadly I don't treat it the best.

best of luck to you!

they are the best little bike Honda makes...I am half tempted to buy one to ride when I go on family rides with my wife and stepson. My wife loves to ride hers.....and we've never had a problem with it.....well since I rebuilt it that is cause it was pretty ragged when I got it......oh and hers is white

you can buy mine
