I would say a 250 Honda Recon. I've got one and I really like it.
I would suggest you read reviews on the different 250 class models and decide which one would be best for you. I think you'll find most people are pleased with the Recon.

If you are wanting a trail rider utility type then the Ozark or Recon are top of the line. In most cases, the Ozark is a little better than the Recon, but not by much. If you want easy riding but sportier than the small utilities, then it would be the Honda 250 or the Suzuki Z250. Here too, both are similar but in this case the Honda is the slightly better bike. Now, if you want an ultimate sport 250, then go with the new Yamaha 250. This bike is by far the sportiest 250 out there.

Id agree on the Recon. For the 250 class, its got lots of power and with the right meats, it can go just about anywhere.
My friend has one, and has Mudlites on it. Its amazing how deep of mud he can go through.

If you are looking for a 2wd sport bike hands down would be the Raptor 250. Quad magazine just did a 250 sport shootout in the June/July issue and the Yami came out on top. I have seen them in action they are a sweet setup in the 250cc class!

Yea, but I think he was talking about utilities. Hmm, can you get racks for the Raptor? That would be sweet lol.
