Default hmm first quad, banshee, z250, warrior? help

hi, i'm a big guy, 6' 265 pounds and i'm looking around at atvs and can't decide on wich to get for me I like to fly and i have 4 acres of yard to ride for off and on not gonna live on this four wheeler and i want something that will tackle reasonable hills and not get weak on the climb.

anyways i have rode a i believe it was my cousins yamaha 250 beartracker and i enjoyed riding it alot for my first atv ride pretty much. It felt pretty satisfying speed wise and power wise but i'd like something a little faster and stronger in a sport atv.

I've been looking at the 2004 suzuki z250 also i'm interested in the yamaha banshee 350 any year is two stroke two much of a pain to mix the gas etc? also I can't really afford anything new except a 250cc model most liekly i got a quote for a z250 2k4 for 3499+tax but i dont know about a 250cc i dont really want to spend anymore than $3500+tax on a atv. anyone have any suggestions? would a banshee be to little for my size? the beartracker didnt seem small to me at all.

anyone got any good recomendations? for a used atv for me i also kind of like the warriors too wich is faster stock etc banshee or warrior?

any additional info welcome, thanks in advance.

A Banshee will be a lot faster than a Warrior.

With your $3500 (or less, actually) you'd be able to get a used, piped 400EX which might be more up your alley than a new Z250, esp. with your weight (no offense!). I'm 6'1", just over 200 lbs, and I'll probably end up with a used 400EX.

ok so a banshee or a 400ex would do good for my size?

so now it's a toss up between the 400ex and the banshee wich will give me the most bang for my buck?

please give examples etc and info appreciated thanks.

Get the banshee you options for doing anything are alot greater than the 400ex. Mixing gas is pretty basic get a ratio cup pour correct amount into ratio cup then pour into gas can and shake. I will admit I am a 2-stroke fanatic but I think you will have a lot of fun on the banshee.

Good Luck
