ive been hearing rumors that honda is gonna come out this year with a 250f motor in a bigger frame to replace the 250ex, but the people that told me have big connections so im not sure who to belive

They are just keeping up with the Joneses, er, or should I say the Yamahas. They figure that if Yamaha can make everything in its lineup look like a Raptor, they might as well make everything look like a 450R..

No actually they revised the front and back suspension and put a rekluse style clutch on it. I think its fugly.

Yeah, too bad they didn't do anything to the 300EX body. It's the one that needs a new make-over!!

i like the look of my 300ex (95) its so rounded!

At first I thought the new 250ex style looked terrible, but now it has grew on me. I like it better then the old style. They could have made the front fenders less square or boxy looking, but I like it.

Same here. I think the new nose kicks butt!! Too bad they didn't do something about that motor. The stupid thing looks like an air compressor and not an atv motor!
