1991 Honda 250 X VS 2014 Honda 400 X

So I Wanted to See which one of the Machines was Faster,Quicker on the 50"
Quad Trail.
I just so happened to have footage from both of them from not to long ago.

Just so you all know, this was an open Trail...meaning at anytime someone could of been coming in hot at me!
...so before watching,Chose which one you think will be the quicker of the Two.....then watch and see.

I didn't bother to watch the video to know the 250 will outperform the 400 - I race a CRF250X against friends with CRF450's - the 450 definitely has more power and can accelerate faster, but they have to get on the brakes ahead of my brake point so I can go into a turn deeper before getting on the brakes and my 250 will stop faster than their 450 - what I lack in acceleration, I make up in the turns - I have finished ahead of 300's, 350's, 400's, 450's and 500's - people tell me I'm too big (6'2" 220 lb) to ride a 250, but I am comfortable on the 250 and it fits me well - lighter weight, shorter wheel base and set up for me and my riding style. I have teamed up with a 450 rider for the 'team' races - we have raced his 450 in some races and my 250 in other races (depends on the terrain) and we have won on both bikes, so it's not the bike, it's the rider.
