go ahead and get a 450, you can have the suspension set up for your weight, and if you cant hold the front-end down just heel shift. a 450 is much faster than a 350, and a 350 won't even be close to keeping up with a dirt bike

 

i'd go with the 450 you're only 16 and you can always grow into it. just don't be a little retrard when you first get it and you'll be fine

 

I would definitely say the 450. All you need is an incident to scare you and keep you from getting too stupid on it. Some level of stupidity is required to have fun, but there is a sure and definite breaking point.

If you buy the 350, you will end up spending a bunch of money modding it, only to ditch it for a 450 down the road. save the money and time, start out right.

450. You'll love it for now and forever. with the 350 you'll be happy at first then be disappointed later on.

 

new the 450, used you can find a good warrior for $1000 to $1500, maybe even cheaper if your lucky. if your only 16 what about the 400ex, or there likes, I know its not a yamy but honda makes damn good bikes, cant say much for the rest of the market, but I'm biased, i have 6 yamys and one kawi in my garage right now, n the kawi is going soon(maybe)

 

I agree with pm. 400EX is a great quad. Rock solid and responds well to mods when you get bored in stock form. You can find them everywhere because there are so many out there.

 

I had a Warrior 350, went up to the YFZ 450, I love it! No reverse but I usally find my way threw stuff so not that much of a probelm. I race,trail it is even pretty good in mud as long as you don't bottom out. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
