Default 16 Y.O. Daughter wants her own Quad.

My 16 year old daughter wants her own quad. My son is tired of sharing his Ozark with her.
She is 5'8", 120 lbs. She handles the 'zark very well and also my Rancher AT but would like something sporty. I was thinking about getting the Z250 since it would have shaft, reverse, decent price and we have had no problems whatsover with the Ozark. Other units I've looked at are 350 Rapter, Wolverine, 350 Rancher. These would by nice riders for me also. Any suggestions on what your girls like to ride?
Riding would be mostly trail riding. 4x4 would not be necessary but would be helpful in the snow. We have all the dealers in the area.

First your need to decide...

Sport (Raptor 350)
Sport/Utilty (Wolverine)
Utilty (Rancher)
(those are all good machines)
AFter you decide on that we can expand on whatever you choose

Add the 250EX to your list! Also shaft drive, reverse, descent price.

The other 3 bikes you mentioned are pretty big, for a 120 pounder.

Thanks for the info. I think I will stay away from the manual clutch models for now. Just need to head to the dealers and see what the best ride and price are. The Z250 and 250EX are looking like they may be a pretty good fit for my girl.
