need a new bike.

G' day guys. I need a new quad fo a 12 year old girl. Has to have electric start, 90cc-250cc, & only from the big brands. She loves the new 90cc predator, but I would like her to have something bigger & manual gears, maybe the new suzuki lt 250. Would love to here your ideas. Thanks from down under Geoff.

Check out the Yamaha 125 Breeze it is a great little beginner bike with lots of power automatic reverse and lights.It will pack adults good too.

I would say that the 250 Honda ex would probably do the job very well.

Automatic clutch: she can still learn shifting with out the frustrations of stalling it.

Shaft drive: Reliability and easy maintenance

Honda: Quality

Power: you will not have to wait for her to keep up.

I can see a lot of advantages in the Honda for your daughter but make sure it isn’t to much for her at least make sure she takes it one step at a time.

My thoughts
