rdepiano12 Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 I think i found someone to trade my 1990 zx750 for a quad, he has a 300 ex and an lt 250r, i told him i'd take either, if i get the choice which do i go for? you guys have any pictures of some nice ones? anyone have any input on either? Thanks in advance Quote
gipperz Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 If it was me I'd go for the lt250r, that is a 2 stroke and a bigger bang for your buck and faster then the 300ex. See if you can get some pics and post them. I'm sure everyone here will help you make a decision. Good luck :beer: Quote
rdepiano12 Posted January 7, 2007 Author Report Posted January 7, 2007 I like the 250 a little more, im going to run whichever bike i get untill it stops running, and then drop a gs 750 motor in it. Quote
scooter Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 the 250r for sure that one looks pretty clean they use to be like the banshees everybody made mods for them . i havent seen one at the dunes for a long time but they use to run against the shees in there day the 300 exs are just slow Quote
BansheeCJ3 Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 Definately the LT-250 if it's not a turd :thumbsup: Quote
Soupbox660 Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 250R all the way! I've been trying to get my hands on one of those for years. Gotta love a legend. Quote

NYUK Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 the guy only wants 1500 for each quad.i get banshees running for near that. Quote
rdepiano12 Posted January 8, 2007 Author Report Posted January 8, 2007 I'm trading a streetbike for it though, so im fine with settling for a 250r, and im going to run it till it blows up and put a gs750 motor in it. Quote
PhilMoore Posted January 8, 2007 Report Posted January 8, 2007 I think the Suzuki would be better suited for the motor transplant. The 300ex chassis is a little smaller, I believe. Quote
BIGDOGDADDY Posted January 8, 2007 Report Posted January 8, 2007 I think the Suzuki would be better suited for the motor transplant. The 300ex chassis is a little smaller, I believe.Go with the lt 250r! I have had one for several years, they are very fun. You can do alot of diffrent types of riding on them, great for trails or dunes. You can also modify them without breaking the bank. 2 strokes take to mods alot better than 4 strokes. You can still get parts pretty easy on ebay. Also several aftermarket dealers carry them. Good Luck!!! Quote
Washburn Posted January 8, 2007 Report Posted January 8, 2007 Go for the LT250R No doubt about it. I had one for over 10 years and they handle great, Theyre light, they fly in the air better than most quads, They are fast as all hell on the tracks, and they have heaps more power than the 300ex. The frames are definatly more suitable for a conversion too. My buddie bought a brand new 300ex (I still have no clue why he did that) But we used to race in all conditions and I would smoke him in every condition. Drags were a joke. If we swaped bikes he would smoke me it would be closer but Im a much better rider than he is on quads. You cant go wrong with the LT250R and it probably already has a pipe and reeds on it. Get it ported and you will be beating piped Banshees! Quote

Get it ported and you will be beating piped Banshees! i would also go with the 250r, i have ridden both and trust me....the ergonomics alone will side you with the 250, not to mention its a 2 stroke and twice as fast. plus youll own a little piece of history as well!! :thumbsup: Quote
SoCalinIt Posted January 8, 2007 Report Posted January 8, 2007 Another vote for the 250R... Great all around two stroke! Quote
Animalman294 Posted January 8, 2007 Report Posted January 8, 2007 I vote for the 250R myself.............. :thumbsup: Quote
