Default I love my LT 250

I bought my Lt because it was cheap. At first I thought I would ride it for awhile, then buy something new. After replacing various bearings and bushings that any 17 yr old machine would need, I have more $ into it than it would ever sell sell for. Lately after riding and riding with many newer machines, I wouldnt even consider replacing it. The engine has been very reliable, nearly as fast as quads with 3 times the value, and parts are plentful and very cheap. My only gripe is the frame has a lot of repairs(was formerly raced). I have made ltz/kfx400's and 400ex's look like turds at the dunes, made 450 owners sweat, and smoked 660 raptors and banshees in the woods. I am sure mostly due to rider/terrain variables. But, Lt's often get talked down on and were always in hondas shadow. I have have had alot of fun for less than 2 grand and would recommend one to anyone...

i've thought the same thing for awhile now. I wanted a honda 250r for the longest time. I ended up buying my 92 LT a little over a year ago. Now, i find myself buying a second LT. I picked up a very nice 87 for only $1250. My 92 i got for $1200. The 87 is very fast. Its been ported, and is much much faster then my 92. I've always had great success with LT's. In a years time, my 92 fouled 1 single plug. I would still like to own at trx250r at some point but i cant say 1 bad thing about LT's since buying one.... or 2. I've rode a real nice honda 250r with a 310 esr powervalve motor.... it is very fast. My 87 will give that bike a run for its money.

I'm actually thinking about buying a 3rd LT here soon. I also love the bikes, and will recommend them to anyone.

I think that the reason people down about the lt's is because there aren't alot of aftermarket parts for them. I owned a 250r with lone star chrome a-arms, chrome swingarm, axle and a 330 kit with a power head. The biggest kit they make for the lt's is a 292 kit. Its no wonder people think there slow

I agree.. the lt is a very great quad. People really now a days just dont appreciate some of the old stuff. But personally i love my lt250r's and might be pickin up another one in about a month or two.
Like he said the onyl reason they arent popular is because they dont have a great list of aftermarket prices...but they can still be made very fast.

I agree as well. I bought one about 8 months ago because I wanted a cheap 2 stroke to play with. I paid $600.00 for it and it was tons of fun. Then I found myself selling off my warrior that I had thousands invested in and buying another Lt. This one smokes banshees in the woods but even worse in a drag race!!!!! Gotta love these things.
