Honda 250R ATC or 350X ATC??

dunes. I think I've narrowed it down to these two (Honda 250R or 350X).
Which is better? Any other suggestions?

ferocious. I never found a quad that could outrun it before I got rid of it
in '92. I've never ridden a 350x...I'm assuming it's a 4-stroke like the 200x
is. I can only give you my opinion on the 250...it rocks. I'm sure it would
spank the 350 in just about any given situation.

If at first you fail,
destroy all evidence
that you ever tried
in the first place.

Not necessarily!

I am a proud owner of a 350x that will definitely keep up with and pass a
lot of 2 strokes. It's just about a wash with the water-cooled 250R three
wheelers and quads I ride with. My 350x has some mods, and the guys I ride
with have modified 250r's...The extent of their mods, I'm not sure of.
Anyway, one of the biggest advantages of the 350x is the fuel: It uses less
than the 2 stroke, and you don't have to mix it! I siphon regular gas
right out of my pickup, and never have to mess with separate cans, 2 stroke
oil, or mixing cups. I also never worry about the gas in the can going
sour between rides.
Don't automatically discount the 4-strokes!

Man, these are both really awesome machines. The 350X makes plenty of
torque and is really good. I have ridden a 4 wheeler with a 350X
motor in it. I have also ridden a 250R three wheeler. I think the
final decision is: do you want a 2 stroke or 4 stroke? The 250R is
faster, because I have raced both types.

Either is an awesome ATV, if I had to choose just one for the desert, it
would be an '85 250R. There's nothing like the instant zip of a two stroke.
Both are fast, and the 350X is the fastest 4 stroke ever produced. If
you find a good deal on either, you'll have a great machine.

anything out there.
ted
(stickers and plastic are perfect), has been in storage for years.
Automatic clutch, 5 speed, 2 stroke with oil injection, very fast. New
tires (old ones were dry rotted - but tread shows little use). It is super
nice! Lights intact (I can't figure out how to turn them on though:-))
Asking $850.00. Ted 937-445-3725
