Well, I'm taking a dip in the darkside again.

[Billy Golightly]

This will be arriving the end of next week. Been having the itch for a "new" quad lately but decided against a 450 because of: #1, the money involved or a payment I don't need. #2: Lack of technical knowledge or spare parts for any of the new 4 strokes and #3: I'm pretty convinced the Laegers narrow framed T-pin setup will handle better then ANY of the new 450s even if you did dump a bunch of money in them. The price on it seemed pretty reasonable to me, I'll have less then 4k in it even after delivery. The market for the 250Rs really has dropped over the past few years, I think everyone knows that this was a $15,000 dollar machine back in 99-2000. The motor seems to be pretty stock, but that just means it hasn't been messed with I'll probably leave it stock cylindered and stuff for a long time anyways, I'm more interested in its handling and jumping capabilities at this point then its straight line go. I gotta 500R on alky for that. Its not a showbike, but it'll be a great rider.


Don't worry, I'm not getting out of trikes. I'm still gonna be flat track racing and stuff, this is just something to play on the MX track with until I can build a trike to take its place

The "dark side" is where the enlightened hang out.

Nice machine. I can't see you not liking it.

[Eric250R]

Nothing bad to say, I personally love the fourtrax R. wish I had known you were looking for a quad though, I just practically gave away a Tecate 4. really nice one that ran great.....and I mean cheap... oh well, I do know where a 88 R is, but it would be a long time before I can afford any new toys. Wish you luck with it and keep us posted on your track...

[dreadhed]

I wondered if you would get a quad to go with your new track. I am guessing you are going to race it?

[oldsking86]

At it's time that think was defiantly worth more then what your paying haha Awesome grab billy, i'm sure you'll get it running strong in no time

[Billy Golightly]

I might race it some, probably not much though. All the "real" nationals level racing is done with production classes and stuff now where you cant run the 250R. Thats why the 450s are so popular even though the aftermarket Rs like this one are actually still better. The TRX250R is the only quad I've ever felt really comfortable on. Their so light weight, low slung, and they just slide/drift through the corners so nice, I dunno. I've always wanted a really nice one like this with all the aftermarket goodies, finally getting it. I'll put it to good use

[oldsking86]

I've heard that many people do hybrids with this frame because the 250r has the BEST geometry of a frame. So you put the new 450 motor in a 250r frame and you have a winning combination by most competitors standards. I personally liked the feel of it too, very nicely built

[Bryan Raffa]

oh boy there multiplying here too!..

[Maico]

I miss my old '87 Zilla. Trinity motor,Klemm exhaust....god I miss that bike.

[Billy Golightly]

Just picked it up, will go for a quick spin in the morning

[atctim]

YIKES - there is one in my agarage curently too. Thank God it's not mine - just doing some repair work!

LOL

Nice score Billy - My only "real" quad experience is on a 250R and they are pretty fun to ride. Still - they feel a bit awkward after triking for so many years. Show us some sweet action pics once you get the feel for it.
