ATC 250R vs. 440EX

**AirManCam** · 09-13-2003, 03:24 PM

Mr atc. A stock 250r doesnt have 43 hp. And the 440ex would kick the rs ass the only place the r would have a chance to win would be in acceleration. Manny make your ex a 440.

Hehe, well i personally think that a quadzilla would smoke either of the 2. Heh, just my 2 cents. My friend is gonna get a quadzilla soon

What is a 440ex? Thats not a bored out Honda 400ex is it?

**AirManCam** · 09-13-2003, 03:30 PM

I had a quadzilla. They will run about 82ish stock

Yeah it is.

well the 440ex i saw would kill a 250r in acceleration, the guy on it would give other quads head starts and he would catch up!

Just because it has more cc's dosent mean its faster...

More guys racing the 400EX at the local MX tracks here have the 440 big bore kit, than dont. If I get taken on the holeshot by a 440EX, its not by much, and its about 50% of the time on my mostly stock TRX250R. The guy on the Predator usually gets the holeshot, just in front of the couple of guys on highly modifed TRX250R's, and the Banshee guy. Thats is until last week when a guy started running his new Yammie. Its stock other than pipe, and he ran right with the Predator to the first corner.

AMC, re-read what i said,...

"a 250R weighs 290 and puts out about 43 h.p. with the mods he listed"...

keywords THE MODS he listed.

so now you have two machines with about the same H.P. but one is a lighter (by about 70lbs.) 2 stroke. listen to what your saying do you really believe it.

**250rmanfmf** · 09-13-2003, 06:39 PM

you can have my R to race him and then you'll beat him no question. I have a drag 85 250r. I agree with Mr ATC. He has raced them before. If anybody knows he does!

also depends on who built the motors on both bikes, one could be dialed in perfect and one could be running like trailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro. That will make a deference.

Boy all of you must either be high or have never ridden a Honda ATC 250R. I dont give a crap how bad you make a 400EX, 440EX,or how ever many more cc's you can squeeze into that 4 stroke piece of junk. You can take any new 4 stroke 4 wheeler off the showroom floor and put whatever bolt on items you can buy and after you spend all of that money I will then show you how an 18 year old 250R will smoke your ass. And as far as those Banshees go I have out run many of those unless they have motor work and a lot of money sunk into it. And about that acceleration you guys want to brag about on your quads,just think about all that extra weight you have to hold the front WHEELS down. Unless I sit on the handlebars and put my feet on the front fender my light front end will wheelie to the sky,so us 3 wheelerguys have to feather the clutch a little more. I pop the clutch then let of the gas for a split second then nail it and let that power band pull me right past you about second gear,then buy third gear you get to read the C-YA sticker on the back. The only thing that has ever out run my 250R are a couple of highly worked Banshees. But the best part is that my R is not highly modified,But after I do some more motor work on it I may need wheelie bars.. 4 STROKE QUADS SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well,i went down to his house to see the 440ex, and to race him but he said that he doesnt want to race me now because he just rbuilt the engine and he doesnt want to blow it up. Maybe hes just afraid i might beat him.Its a quick quad but I like the 2 stroke power better!!!

Sooo, whats he gonna do with his rebuilt ride. Take pictures for the web?

**N8s250r** · 09-14-2003, 09:14 AM

My buddy had a completly bone stock 1985 atc 250r and raced a 400ex that was piped and had a k&n air filter. the race was neck and neck the whole way until at the end the 250r hit 6th gear, pulled ahead, and one the race. so with that being said... i think the 440 will beat the R but it will be pretty close, neither machine will be blown away.

every one has a different opinion. everybody's machine is faster than the other guys simply because its there machine. even after you may beat the opponent there 4 million excuses that they come up with. :-D

i don't think i know your wrong on this.

stock 250R puts out about 38 h.p. and weighs 295 lbs

stock 400ex puts out about 28 h.p. and weighs 375lbs

stock 350X puts out about 28 h.p. and weighs 320 lbs.

pipe and jetted 400ex puts out about 30-32 h.p.

a 440ex puts out about 40+ h.p.

a piped and carbed 250R outs out about 42 h.p.

now a stock 250R will walk away from a 350X. a stock 350X is slightly faster the a stock 400ex. there is no way a 400ex will hang with a 250R. even a 440 ex will not be able to beat a 250R.

now this is the important part ,the rider on a 400/440ex may be better then the rider on the 250R but that does not mean the 250R is slower.

if you still are not convinced of this, look at the TRX250R that is faster then a 400/440ex and a TRX 250R is slower then a ATC250R.

LONG LIVE THE KING...ATC 250R
