the 250ex IS NOT the same frame as a recon, different arms, shocks, smae motor that is all. first year of 250ex had a more powerful motor bcause of the head and in 2002 the recon got that head as well... i had a 250ex all i put on it were tires and bought a 300ex which was the second best thing i ever did but now i have my R and i love it nothing can beat a 250r, 400ex, yfz, banshee or any of the big end quads just because there are no limits to how you can mod them and will not get tired of them and if u do mod some more a 250ex or 300ex are great bikes i loved both until the end, i hated the 250ex towards the end of having it it never had to power or suspension to keep up, but it was very fun and never broke, the 300 i still have as of now and it is the best wheelie machine besides a 400ex and with 2500 into it handles awsome and is decently quick. if u can not saying you shouldnt mod your 250ex but i wouldnt
lol i forgot that we were talking about a recon
if i were you sell the recon and buy a 250ex if that is what you really want... i would look into buying used 400s since they are so cheap rite now and if you really want reverse the 300ex
