I'm new to this forum, so think I'll start with a small introduction.
I've been an 3 and 4 wheeler rider for the past 24 years. I've done some harescramble racing been successful enough at it.
I was a die hard 3wheeler guy until my brother bought a trx250R in 1992. He still has the same quad (1986 model) and I have my own. The ATV world has been without race-worthy new 2-stroke quads since 1989, last year of the trx250R.
Anyway, my love of the two-stroke powerplant in that machine eventually led me to yearn for something else with a two stoke. .... something newer. . .. two years ago I bought a 2003 RM250 and absolutely love it. .. since then I bought into another (2004) RM250 and recently picked up a 2000 yz125. The trx250r is now relegated to family trail riding duty as any time I have a choice, I've been swinging a leg over the bike instead.
Anyway, over the years I have gathered quite a bit of knowledge about the trx250R model, and I'm always up for a conversation about them . ..
