Oh, I have no doubt theres plenty of blasters on this site that will beat a 250r in a straight line.
Hell, theres even a couple that have both speed and suspension that can do a decent job on one.
But the 250r is almost 50 inches wide. Its so damn stable and handles so well. It has the suspension geometery to handle the width. A stock blaster is like 39 inches wide. That thing is damn near a foot wider not to mention longer. It isnt a whole lot heavier either. And it is watercooled.
Im not a nut swinger, but if money wasnt an issue, Id take a 250r over a blaster any day of the week. Theres like 3 nice ones for sale right now by me.
I just cant justify 3k+ for a damn quad.
