oldturtle Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 Just heard rumor that Honda is coming out in 05 with closed course race quad powered by CR250R. Is this just BS wish list from some Honda dealer pissed cause the YFZ is selling so well or could it be. OK, some dealer in Oregon told this to my brother this morning.

TheWolf Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 service honda has been doing this for a while. You could actually get one right now. As for how well they run or not I don't know. Never heard anything about them except that they build them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcmoose Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 i used to work for honda. when the big boys from japan came to see our shop they had some cool stuff to show us. one of them was a 05 250r, Race ready. They said that it will be made race ready only, and will cost some bucks. The pictures they showed us had a pro circut pipe on it an showa piggy back shocks.

trail rider Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 I been to that service honda website. the 250r they build is just a CR 250 bike motor in a 400ex frame with aftermarket crap on it. But it still pretty bad ass. They also sell new CR 500's. Anybody know how much it is to buy one of the 250r's on that site? Also, how would you get a quad in the mail? Dont tell me it comes in a great big Fedex package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erbilabuc Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 lies , all lies- the 250r is never coming back and that fake ass 400ex with a cr250 motor in is just that - A fake ass 250r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BansheeBrian Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 How much does a 400ex rolling rolling frame weigh? Tell me that and I'll let you know if it's gonna be a badass machine or not. It's getting a little late in the game to market 2-stroke quads. The last year is 2006. They better hustle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sredish Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 Honda has done lost the trust in the atv world. yeah, they got a 450r now, but a day late and a dollar short. They want to put us in awe again, then just do it already. We'll know it's the truth when it's on the showroom floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frocashmoney24 Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 hmm, now as cool as that would be, with all the new shit coming bout and 2 strokes being zooned out, why would they make one? ill def onlyu belive it if i see it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTQuad Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 How well does a cr250 fit in a stock 250R frame? I know they did the 400ex but just wondering since my 250R put the chain through the case last summer. thanks - JT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronco91shee Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 dont get me wrong, the R was king for yrs, but ther is no way honda will do it right again. im suprised yamaha did it for so long. we all gottta faceit 2 stokes r dyin, and the 4 chokes are finally startin to kepp o\up and beat us. but they gotta have the massive cc's and all this tchnology to beat our old, smaller size stuff. i think its lame they can run 2x's the cc's just to race us "fair". what is a 250 class if they let 400's in? wtf? as to the new honda, ill believe it when i see it. hell i might even buy one., but it will never be a true R. long live the R and the shee-nothin will ever top those 2 kings. peace out yo, sorry, but i needed to let of some steam on all these 4 choke boys!
