Test Riding Michael Sabo's Honda TRX250R

I was extremely fortunate to throw a leg over Michael Sabo's Honda TRX250R! It was an absolute blast to ride since I'm a 4 stroke guy. There's so much drama and sensation when riding a machine like this. I know these builds are capable of more power but I thought his quad was super balanced and it was very easy to ride. Huge shout out to Mike for giving me the opportunity to ride his R!

I can’t wait for Little Sahara! It’s going to be quad insanity. 🤯 #savesportquads

[@PeteHager]

I think the turnout is gonna be mega! I'm so stoked!🤘

[@yenko3378]

I can’t wait either should be a blast!!!

[@MichaelSabo]

Dude it's so cool to see and hear that you had fun on the R; out of the hole that Raptor is just so strong man, couldn't catch you!

[@ttatvoffroad2632]

you gotta get him on that banshee too

[@finnoconnell7262]

Will you have a vid up

[@PeteHager]

Thanks for letting me rip the R. It solidified my decision to get one someday. There's nothing like that machine! Cant wait for the next rip!🤘

[@RUMPLEforeskin25]

Bro. You were having so much fun. That’s what it is all about. You absolutely do need more four wheelers. 250r build series! 👍🏻😎

[@beauthomas4359]

I completely agree

[@867diesel]

Hell yeah !! 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟

[@StupidFastJohn]

GREAT VIDEO Pete! had so much fun tearing it up with you guys *fist bump from desktop computer***

[@PeteHager]

It was a great weekend! Next time we need less heat and dust and we'll be able to really chase each other 😬🤘

[@Jimbo718Slice]

Happily ordered the new 250r shirt to go with my 450r shirt! 450 rebuild is almost finished and my 250r should be set to debut for the 2022 season.

[@867diesel]

The part where Conor fell off and had to chase down his bike was the most hilarious 😂😂

[@BrewerOffroad]

So awesome to see you rip Sabos R! Awesome machine + awesome rider = awesome video 🤘🤘

[@gaucker398]

Watching this video made me really want a 250r. The way it moves through those woods, even as beat as they are, looked so smooth.

[@GETBNT1]

Always room for a 2 stroke in you’re life mate

[@PatrickRiggs33]

Sweet!! I've been waiting to see this one! Mike built a hell of a 250R. It's crazy how high strung they are out in the open but also how well sorted they are in the slow tight stuff in the woods too. I'm sure that ported 310 can scream 🤙🤟. Preordering some shirts tonight!! That came out great!! 😎

[@joshuascoot77]

You've come so far man. Love the videos. Best riding chanel on KZbin

[@jeffaquilino1806]

That’s awesome I can’t wait to finish mine

[@perezan2010]

Awesome premium video man! Like always..

[@OdysseyOffroad]

Such a nice machine. Another cool video !

[@caseyltr7215]

Issa great day when I get that notification 🤪

[@Davido50]

MIKE PHILLY SABO rocks! @Pete Hager come dwn to Brusters ORV in SW Michigan to ride bro. Will meet you there w/ my pristine '10 YFZ450X Bill Ballance edition & new '21 Raptor 700R-SE. Both machines basically stock & less the 5hrs each. Need ride/race more for sure. 😉

[@markperza384]

Another cool video Pete!! I got the shirt I ordered today very cool.. Thanks . Keep them coming!!

[@PeteHager]

Thanks for supporting us with a pre-order! I'm super stoked about these new shirts 😁

[@raymondmelaan1599]

Good video Pete. Raptor poweaaa!!

[@Aiden-804]

That’s awesome man

[@wheelindylan6138]

that's a sweet R! Im ready to get my R done

[@vipr28]

Very nice machine he has. Love the sound of that thing! I wanted a 400ex but now I'm torn lol

[@j-beatsimaginationstudio1987]

Awesome vid Pete, thank you and be safe Brother :)

[@DevonandJazz]

I can’t wait to ride with you one day

[@Davido50]

Me as well. 2 newer Yamaha machines in garage. Get a new Yamaha while you can! Take care of it they last forever. #YamahaSportQuads

[@luisito0392]

I don’t need anymore four wheelers but….. Haaa I can see you getting one 🙌

[@ttatvoffroad2632]

Ok now this is epic.

[@mzondi1970]

Great stuff. Been keeping me well entertained while I'm in the hospital for cancer surgery

[@davidszyszka5188]

That’s awesome bro, wish you the best!

[@tmonster1498]

Prayers for a speedy recovery…Riding is the best medicine…hope you get back to it soon

[@PeteHager]

Thanks for supporting my channel, sending positivity your way 🙏

[@mzondi1970]

@@PeteHager thank you brother your channel got me hooked back into riding a little over a year ago when I subscribed. I've had a number of quads this year but the one I've kept it makes me happy is a good old 350 warrior. I've had the Honda 450R and the Yamaha both greatte machines but I'm a slow woods Rider I'm slowly fixing up the warrior now and I also have a 2021 Foreman. I'm definitely a keep sport quads alive person I bought a few shirts and drw stuff from your side. It's so nice to see people like you Mike and Brewer out legitimately enjoying and not sounding like you're faking the passion

[@johnbarnett9403]

Still waiting to see Pete try out Mikes Banshee

[@josefrobbins8781]

I dunno man, if you're a Sport Quad guy, and you own a fleet of Sport Quads...you are legally obligated to have a 250R in your collection. Just like Cars and Guns, there's no such thing as "too many" , just not enough Haha.

[@joshuaball8870]

Awesome video Pete, I hope you and Sabo can make it out to the Oregon dunes sometime. It’s worth the trip

[@PeteHager]

I hope so too man! For Mike it would be a mega trip since he's east coast. Eventually we'll get there!🤘

[@lukeworrell8479]

what a beast of a machine! Hopefully you can find a quadzilla to ride some day

[@Darwindiggler]

It’s cool how guys get together an compare manlys hahah 250r ftw 🤘

[@stephencrisson3595]

That's one of my dream quads ever since I rode one back in the day ever since then I've always wanted one that and my blaster but I really want one of them trx 250r they r just Unstoppable in the trails and on a MX track and I've seen some of your riding on them before on track and u were Killin it u need one in ur collection if you don't already have 1💪🤙‼️

[@PeteHager]

I really enjoy riding the 250r. I geek out every time I'm on one! I hope to get one someday, it will definitely be my first 2 stroke when the time comes😬

[@sh3m801]

250r Build series!

[@ronsshorts9147]

My dad has a 250 R and I have Rode 450r and all that stuff but the 250 R is easily the fastest quad I have ever rode

[@TheRainman97]

That 250r sounds beast, sounds similar to the atvs on ATV Offroad Fury 3

[@yoboymg7387]

Who else saw the whole build series of this machine?

[@johnnyflores7032]

You have the best background music hands down

[@PeteHager]

Thank you! 😊

[@Darwindiggler]

Banshee or a 350 Yamaha warrior 🤘 We’re it all began for me

[@tydoubleu5734]

Had 2 turn up 100% brightness and max resolution 4 this 1💯

[@brianmorgan3526]

Wish I still had my raptor. I want to get back into it. It's been a long time.

[@timpence825]

Great video guys. Some day I may get to meet ya'll and ride together.

[@5221982]

Hey Pete great content as usual! What does Mike have to say about your Raptor

[@lostammo9026]

I love quads ..but chris is that kid on the block man .

[@petes_powersports7438]

Can’t wait to rip with you at ritcheys again pete!

[@PeteHager]

I'm looking at Iowa video now! We had such epic dirt conditions for that ride! 😬

[@tsmith9597]

Next time you guys go to badlands hit me up it’s right in my backyard lol. I’d love to ride with you guys might even let you throw a leg over my R lol

[@michaelorozco8809]

you need a 2 stroke build any of the three 250s or a banshee

[@ronaldtartaglia4459]

Are there ever any get togethers on the east coast? How do you guys find places to ride? My quad just sits in my shed.

[@codylopez7336]

Damn no @StupidfastJohn you boys are tearing it up ! Love the content #Savesportquads

[@kingkracker1998]

if u want good trails to ride fast on at badlands, u have to go to the complet oppisite side of the park, where the sxs dont go!

[@PeteHager]

Thats good to know! Next time I hope to hit all the area's I missed 🤘

[@mikelopez1393]

Cool like it...

[@cxld8798]

Pete what’s better ltr or yfz

[@bobplayz1830]

You just filming conor: well hi I should be on my bike but I am not so lemme run

[@azizarino]

Nice

[@joseluna2300]

anyone know what GoPro mount he uses when he rides?is it a chest mount?

[@timjohnson9230]

My opinion is you need one. I believe you and Sabo have the best atv channels on KZbin

[@codyoverdorff5655]

Love 250r best

[@11GalleryATV]

I woulda brought that thing back to Sabo totally mud covered!

[@shanesgoonvideos2889]

My 2 favorite dudes on KZbin! I’d love to rip with you in my area one weekend, coal region pa

[@riazamjad9276]

I've got a feeling Pete's gonna get a honda trx 250r

[@user-sx5ym6uc8y]

Привет из России,посоветуй что лучше выбрать 700 или 660,?глобально они не чем не различаються ну кроме впрыска конечно.подскажи может есть нюансы какие в эксплуатации?

[@man-o-war1685]

I haven’t heard from renegade mike in a while

[@gavinmess1479]

That Suzuki quadracer was super loud same with that trx250r

[@TheCuttingtorch]

i liked the part where you were riding the 4-wheeler

[@royhenson3379]

I really only watch a video till the end is if there is a 2 stroke.. sorry im old school.

[@johnbruzzi4381]

Pete have you ever done any xc raceing

[@PeteHager]

I haven't on quads. I've XC raced mountain bikes. I hope to try it out on the quads eventually, I'm an all or nothing guy when it comes to competing so it would take a lot of commitment with fitness and training.. Someday hopefully 😬🤘

[@kx_steven]

You could never have too many lol

[@Fox250R]

Carb settings please?

[@PeteHager]

That would be a question for Mr Sabo, shoot him a comment on one of his recent videos😊👍

[@codyoverdorff5655]

Bro what up bro

[@867diesel]

I’d pre order a shirt since it’s a 250r . But I’m not in position to order anything at the moment. We just got hit hard where I’m at I’m Louisiana by a hurricane and have been out of power for 3 weeks

[@PeteHager]

Thanks for your support! Sorry to hear you area was damaged by the storm. Hopefully your infrastructures come back sooner then expected 🙏
