Go 350 or up. The 250 is a nice machine but a little small.

We got the 250 for our 11 year old, and the 450 for our 14 year old. If you're an experienced rider, and 16 years old, you can pick whichever one you want. The Raptor 350 is a Warrior 350 with new plastic on it. The engine and chasis are an old design that wasn't too impressive with the Warrior plastic on it, and now that the competition has gotten even better, it is even less impressive with the Raptor plastic on it. The Raptor 250 is an all new design with much better handling and suspension than the Warrior ever was, but it is just a 250. If I was 16 I would be looking at the 400 class sport quads, the 700 class sport quads, or even the 450 class race quads.
