Default I need help deciding a sport quad

Now I'm very very very bad at clutch! I have a Honda Rancher 350, and I want to buy a sport quad so i don't break my utility quad(i jump it a lot). Now I'm either deciding a 250EX,300EX, adn a Warrior, also I am 15. I would greatly apprecitate it if you would post your opioion(sp?).

If you want to really get into riding your gonna need to learn the clutch. Once you've u get used to it you'll never go back. Get a warrior.

get a 300ex, there great for trails, better of jumps than a warrior and they handle a lot better. but if your looking for top speed get a warrior, yet they only go around 3 mph faster than the 300ex. don't even think about a 250ex, i've seen them and they are just like a utility, and they only go around the same speed as your rancher. hope i helped and again go with the 300ex, ride red!

A Warrior would not be a bad choice, they are very reliable and very fun to ride. However yamaha and honda are supposed to be coming out with a new 400 sport quad vey soon , it may be worth it to wait.

I think a new honda/yamaha 400 class sport quad would be too much for this guy.

The 250ex has a centrifugal clutch, that means you shift w/o having to use a clutch. The 300ex and warrior both have fully manual transmissions. If you really dont want a clutch, you can look at the polaris sport quads. They have a 2 stroke automatic trailblazer 250 and a 400. Both of those are very nice quads as well. The trailblazer 400 is just a rebadged scrambler 400 2x4. Another option is the blaster 200cc 2 stroke.

The 300ex will have the best suspension setup of all quads in the category. The trailblazer 400 will be the fastest, followed by the blaster, but at a distance. The warrior is faster than the 300ex and 250ex, but i dont know about the trailblazer 250, because it is a 2 stroke. All of these quads are fairly comfortable if you are under 6' and less than 250lbs.

If you want something maintenance free, go with the honda lineup. Warriors are farily hardy as well. The 2 strokes require a little more work, changing jets and mixing gas, if you dont have an oil injector. Actually, the new 2 strokes I listed all have injectors, so you dont have to mix if you dont want to.
