Quads Are Taking Control!

[ATCGENIUS]

Kilborg is right about the Suzuki 250 quadracer, there is one in the works. The AMA said upfront if the AMA ATV Pro Motocross series did well that there would be a 250 class to follow. I believe that all manufacturers are working on a 250 race class quad now. The closest quad to the 250 race quad is the super light Yamaha Raptor 250, but the real race quads will hit the market as soon as the AMA makes the 250 class or if someone releases one early, then we know for sure that the 250 class will happen. I was hoping that the 250 class would start in 09.

I read through the entire article, it must be old. They made a big deal out of the kawi being the only race quad with reverse. Several have it honda 450er, ktm, Polaris 450mxr.

The Honda does not have reverse.

The KTM's have reverse. So do the Polaris' because they use the same engine.

I just posted the 09 Honda atv line-up including the sport and utility quads. Honda rebadged the sport quads to the X, it does bring back some old times in seeing a 250X in the Honda line-up again. Lots of pics and info on the news page and the all new CRF 450R on the page 2 news also, links below.

Speaking of Quads taking control, look at the 09 Kawasaki Teryx. Kawasaki did not sit on their hands on the Teryx in 09, all the new items are on the news page. I just posted a lot of new 09 models pics and info. links below.

Really like the site actually, lots of good pictures on it, but why the duals on the cr250f if its only single cylinder ?

Cody2, thanks for the support of my powersports site. I try to add new pics daily and keep the content fresh. Please check back every so often, I update the site 2-3 times a week or more. I like feedback and keep it coming. Now for your question, Honda says the duals keep the weight equal on both sides of the bike and makes it handle better, more neutral flyer, and looks tough. I have never ridden the 250cc stroker, but I have read in dirtbike mags that it does help weight distribution. The 250 strokers are not the old powerless pingers, these bikes are fast and powerful and the AMA is letting the 250 pingers race against them in the lites class. Link below.

I still would like for them to bring back trikes. Other then quads being the "big thing". It would be cool if you could get the option to buy one. A 250 quad class is going to seem under powered for most tracks. You still can not do nearly as much on a quad as you can on a bike. But who knows. I haven't really seen that many good Atv riders in florida at the tracks i go to. Most of them are a B class level compared to bikes. I think it would be a advance in ATV racing for sure, but i'm curious as to how the bikes will do out on the motocross track. Another big thing would be getting people to ride them. it is going to be at least 1 year to 2 before they start be coming something.
