Ketchum KR250RR-----Thought, oppinions wanted

[lisnup65]

I am getting ready to buy a ripper quad to play with. I am a 3 wheeled rider at heart, but I thought it maybe time to get something more updated. I am thinking about the Gas Gas 400 or 450(fuel injected) when its available here, but I ran into a guy that said to check into a Ketchum ATV. This thing is rediculously crazzzzzzzy.
He claims that the quad in stock form is good for 60HP at the wheels and the thing weighs in at the same as a Blaster. It runs around the price of a Raptor, but its less than the Gas Gas. The problem is no dealers in my area, but the company will ship to my door. In the long run I look at the parts issues, but damn, this thing has serious out of the box power.

Has anyone dealt with this company or know anything about them?

I've never herd of them before and That tiny 4 stroke sure doesnt look like it produced's 60 hp.... And furthurmore, GasGas even makes a 450 quad???????? That's news to me.

The picture is not of their 250 2stroke or the new 400 4stroke. That is a pic of their little 200cc 4 stroke. I have yet to get a picture of the 250rr as they are supposed to email me one. The above pictured 200 is only 14hp starter machine. Its priced around the same as a Blaster.


This is supposively an exert from a mag review.

The KR250RR is the "Fastest and Quickest" production ATV in the World. This "Raptor Killen", "Banshee Bustin", "DS650 Smoken", "Cannibal Eaten" ATV features a 250cc 2-stroke, single cylinder, case induction reed valve, 60HP, Liquid cooled engine. The KR250RR is an experienced rider only machine.

lisnup, ya obviously posted the wrong pic (as the horrible website shows the worng pic as well). Thats a photo of the 200cc 4 stroke version. You are talking about 250R which is a basically a PUMPED TRX250R engine.

Sorry about that! I stated earlier that the machine I posted a pic of was a 200 cc 4 stroke. I am awaiting a pic of the 250RR. I am willing to drive to them for a test drive if the machine seems promising. I asked about the website listing drum front brakes and they stated the 250rr has disc.

must be havin' a hard time finding a decent lookin' model to pose on their quads.lol. You would think that they could at least post pics of more than one machine on their website. :?: I would definately like to see one of them 250rr's.---Joe 8)

The 450 is available, but only if you pre-ordered as of now.
