man im 15 and have a 250 recon and its the perfect size for me right now. i think in a few years id like to upgrade to a 350 4x4 though but as of right now its a good ride for me..

 

Anything less than a 250cc in a 4-stroke is just not enough for anything. A 250 4-stroke is practically a dog, anyways. They will make PLENTY of torque for trail riding and hill climbing, but they are nothing dangerous.

Every ATV can be dangerous if ridden improperly, and the lower powered quads can be some of the worst because of the lack of respect the machine is given.

For just throwing someone 12 - 16 on a quad for the first time i would say 125cc would be more than plenty but with some kind of certification program a 250 would be okay as well.

@ 12yrs old I wason a mod. 175MX and could drive my aunts 67 olds all over the roads on Pensacola Beach..

I agree with you Sidewinder, My wife has a 08 A/C 250 *4 stroke* and with me on it @ 180 lbs almost sitting the gas tank, nail the throttle and it WILL flip within 15ft. @ 12/13 years old, maybe 100 lbs. and very little training, inexperianced kids can and do get hurt or die. I don't believeany of these are too underpowered to hurt or kill kids.Its very hard to group kids together when it comes to #1 a hell of alot of common sense to keep your butt off the ground. My ten year old daughter rides a 250 but I can limit the throttle, she always wears a helmet and very intense training. NEVER unsupervised.

Sorry about that Dragginbutt..

 

C. 250's could be too big for some 12-13 yr. olds but ok for 15-16 yr olds, depending on ability!!

C. i think max should be 150 for 12 year olds but for 16-up should be 300+
