Lol I find myself happy that I kept a very recent article of ATV Sport Magazine that has a lot of what your looking for in a 200-300cc shootout as well as the 2009 Quad Magazine 2009 buyers guide. So here it is.

Comments by ATV Sport: "Progressive feel in the rear but some wanted a better overall package from such a sporty quad"
"the Honda is friendly because of the SportClutch"
"Buyers looking to learn how to shift will have to look at one of these"
"The two quads with the most tire roll were the Can-Am and Honda"
"the Auto Clutch works seamlessy"
"Truly a Quality Product"
Quad Magazine Comments: "were not suprised when those beginners decide to keep the 250 long after they've learned the ropes.
"One of the most popular quads to ever exist"
As far as torque and horse power that really isn't measured but I've seen a lot of people using this over there 400's and 450's to do wheelies and trust me this is about the same weight as the big guys. That and honda is known for torque. Honestly you can't pick a more reliable brand the honda either. The only quad I'd buy over this is another raptor 250 but those are expensive. I have the Trx450r and I can tell you, you can't go wrong with this 250.
