I Bought The Three Fastest 250cc 2-Stroke Quads Ever Made (Then Raced Them)

I buy a Honda TRX250R, a Suzuki Quadracer lt250, and a Kawasaki Tecate 4 250cc quad and race them all. These were the three fastest two stroke 250cc quads ever made. #Kawasaki, #Suzuki, #Honda,

you're learning what we knew back in the 80/ 90's when these things were new. This is why we always bought honda's.

As an owner of an LT250R, I accept it being the “slowest” 2-stroke quad in this competition. I still have a blast riding it. All 3 running at the same time was freaking awesome! You’ve come a long way Joe! Happy for ya buddy 🤙

I grew up with a older brother and we both had Suzuki 250r’s. He “upgraded” to a yfz450 the first year it was out. I still have mine. It’s been 19 years. It looks and runs amazing still. Cool video looks fun.

What a Beautiful Sound with all 3 Quads running at the same time.

As a 43 year old, I’m very familiar and have ridden all three quads. Each one is exceptional, but for me, I’d probably take the 250 Suzuki Quad Racer. The Tecate 4 would be a close second and the 250 R is no slouch. Man, what a lineup of quads. The only reason I chose the Suzuki is because of personal experience. I think and have witnessed Suzukis quality during this time period, even if the Tecate 4 is faster.

Great to see these old machines ripping! Didnt see too many Tecates back in the day, super cool to see when still ripping now! 👍👍

I have all 3 too, an 88 250R, 88 T4, and 89 LT 250R. The Honda is the best handling by far, also the best suspension. It looks like you have 85 or 86 LT. But in 87 Suzuki switch to a power valve engine, which is wicked fast. I would say it has the best stock engine. The T4 is also very fast, but doesn't have that "on the pipe" hit of the LT. The LT and T4 suffer in the chassis department. They have a single spar motorcycle-type frame, whereas Honda had the dual spar truss frame. That allowed for a lower center of gravity. The rear suspension on the LT makes it tall and tippy, and the front geometry and suspension on the T4 is lacking. Having said that, they're all fun machines.

Just the fact that you have all three is insane good for you man

[JohnThomas-vbse]

It’s a two stroke, never lift off the throttle when going through the gears in a race. It’ll only rpm so much. Also if you like the Honda, you need to go up 1 or 2 jet sizes on the pilot jet. It will probably end up burning a piston if you don’t. Look for vacuum leaks around the intake first. The idle creeping is a dead giveaway, it’s lean. It should ping for a second, then settle down. Like the Kawasaki.

The question I think everyone missed is, what's the gear ratio difference between all of them, and front and rear sprocket sizes. The year when each one was built, due to power changes in motor design etc. All this will make a big difference ! Great video nonetheless !!

[paulgaines]

And the Banshee 500 sorted out I gotta give props you have a perfect collection

[Tron]

I would only take the kawasaki it's the only quad that's tuned sorta right

[mikewolfskhal]

My 87 lt250r keeps up with my friends 87 trx250r no problem and seems to handle just as well. The problem with this test is using a older non power valve LT. not really a good comparison

[kevindamato]

I have a 1988 lt250r and I'm sending the motor out to go get bored ported and Polished but you guys need to give it the beans those motors have a lot more then what you're pushing it too

[wormmeade]

I had a 92 LTR and I had stock bore and stroke, but everything else was modified. Ella suspension, lone star everything and Duncan racing head and pyramid reed valve with a flat slide 38mm carburetor, Paul turner silencer. Geared for the track it was nasty till about 60 and it topped out but I burnt almost everything I came across on smaller tracks.

[realityallah]

My first quad, Kawasaki 250 Mojave nice machine..sh*t pretty quick, I still have til this day

[taedar]

I feel like there's so much demand building for some new sport quads. Could you imagine a new 2022 250r or Tecate 4, they wouldn't be able to build them fast enough

[HiRollersOfficial]

I like my 4 strokes but when the bikes were sitting side by side idling that was gangster

[raredesign]

Great machines bud. Love it.
If you don’t mind, I do have a suggestion though, after listening to the bikes run through the range. It’s very possibly due to the weather, but both the Honda and Kawasaki are running lean.
The Honda was very lean, and given what I heard, I would raise the needle by one, or fatten the main by 5 points. That’s why you had it sounding like a limiter. It would actually be faster with the jetting right.
The Kawasaki was not as bad, and simply raising the needle one may help.
The problem with raising the needle to solve a main jet that you may not have on hand, is that based on the needle taper, it can drastically change the entire 1/8-full range.
It’s best to test the needle and the main separately, as you may prefer one over the other.
You don’t want any fuel cutting when into it.
Good luck!
