If weight of the machine needs to be under 400 pounds then the Can-am Rally 200 might be worth a look. Its been a excelent machine for us, its automatic but it does have a chain to maintain where the AC 250 is shaft and 50 cc larger at a cost of an extra 60 pounds in weight though. Prices are similar, Rally's list for 3349.00 same as the kymco 250. The Rally is built by ADLY but with BRP rotax motors and spar frames. I have been told BRP supplies the parts to ADLY and they assymble them.

 

Does she need a sport quad? Have you looked at the Polaris Hawkeye? It would be the perfect size for her, and not super fast. It will only top out at about 45, but has super low end grunt. Its a little heavier, but has a far better ride. It does not cost that much more, for all the features you get. I have seen a couple of people that have had trouble, but for the most part they are a great machine.

She does like the sport quads better...She likes to ride but not looking to break any speed records..
It would be nice to find a bike that fits her and if she's not riding someone else can use..Such as an adult...
I know ive been on a buddy's honda 250 that's pulled me up some nice hills without a problem..6'5 240lb[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
Thanks for the replies

 

The polaris 250 trailblazer is extremely reliable.Look at my pics page and mines on there.Its a 1997 and the only thing ive done is put mudlites and thats it.Its 10yrs old and not one mechanical problem.Im going to save some cash and put 500$ in it on a re build for fun eventually.Does excellent in the mud.It was actually stollen and we found it 2yrs later at a garage sale.They painted the plastic green to hide that they stole it.I had to use fine sandpaper and buff the hole thing down.Its not my ds but a very fun quad.

 

too bad you live so far away I have a 2001 Trail Blazer and a 2004 LTR250 suzuki for sale

 

Wanna sell the plastic of your 2001 trailblazer.Im in need of rear white or red plastic.lol

 

I just sold a 1991 Trail Blazer. It still ran great. It just needed some break work. If you get her that she will enjoy it. Good luck with what ever you get. If you are at the Polaris dealer, have a look at the Hawk. I am 6'4 and 350, so I can say that bike is no slouch. One good thing, is that the TB has electric start now. Much nicer than the one I had. They say it also has more umph also.

 

no both atv's are in great shape, kids are gone and it's to hard doing all the up keep on 4 machines

 

Thanks everyone for your time and input..I think i'll try to make a deal on the trailblazer 06..There trying to get rid
of them down here.With the input from everyone and the mods availiable, it seems like the way to go..

Deanz400,that could have been a possiblity..My friend just drove back to AZ from Red Wing,Minn.He was working at the casino up there...
Thanks
