Honda would most likely be the more reliable of the two being a shaft drive and auto tranny. Warrior has it beat in every other department except that. The 250ex would probably get boring pretty quickly.

I think that it really depends on her experience with quads and where you'll be driving. The 250EX has a shaft drive and a semi-auto. While the Warrior has chain and a clutch. The top speed of the 250EX is somewhere around 52mph and the Warrior is about 61mph. I think the 250EX is better in the tight woods and the Warrior is better in open spaces. Although the Warrior can be used for trail riding. The 250EX is lighter and more agile. If you're considering the Warrior then why not the 300EX? It would give her a little more power but still be light and agile. If you're driving something like a Raptor then she might want something with more power so she's not left in the dust. -Or you could just ask her if she likes blue or red.

Don't get a Warrior!! I rode one for years. They are way outdated, big and clunky

I think that the stock 300EX has a top speed of around 55 so the Warrior is a little faster. But in the woods the 300EX handles a little better than the Warrior. I think that a stock Raptor's top speed is around 71 mph. Do you think she'll be alright with a clutch? Maybe she should start with a semi-auto like the 250EX or new Z250. No matter how fast the quad is if she can't use a clutch then she'll fall behind on the trails. If you're getting a Raptor there will be times when you just want to stomp it. You'd have to get a pretty fast quad to keep up with a Raptor all the time. But if she's new to atv's it would probably be too much machine for a beginner. Just because she has not ridden before, I think a semi-auto or even auto would be good to start on. Lakota, 250EX, Z250, are sport semi-auto's. How much did you intend on spending on her quad?

It sounds like the KFX700 is the fastest stock. I think they just made it a little faster than the Banshee and Raptor to claim the title. I think the KFX700 could have been faster but the companies like to limit things.
