    is a lt250 worth the trade for a 300ex?

    My dad has a 93 300ex and some one offered him a trade for a suzuki lt250r straight across, is this worth it

    depends on how nice the quadracer is and what year, got any pictures?

    if its rough i would say no

    if it is clean, and all there should be a great deal, if you like to ride hard and fast. wouldn't do it for a 85-86 thou

    okay called him today and its was gone through by the local moto shop, and has a 310 kit lol.... just needs a seat cover. the reason for him wanting to trade is that he got this bike for his girl friend

    I would be cautious of anyone saying they are running a "310 kit" considering no one makes them and it would be a completely custom job that only someone with a ton of LT knowledge can do. Ask him to tell you what the bore and stroke is... and who did the "kit".
