I am looking for a second quad and am leaning twards a warrior. How good does a 250x run,how fast,how does it handle and will it fit someone that is 6'1 225lbs. I know that the 250x is like the 300ex but some say it is a little faster. Will it run with a warrior and how is the size compaired to the warrior? I see a ton of them for sale and all seem to be in good shape. I would think they run good or there would not be many around.

 

Anyone?

 

Go with the Warrior. Have you sat on all three of them? You would see that the 300EX is way too small for someone your size, no offense[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]. People 5' 9" and under can fit on them comfortably. Neither of the Honda's have the power of the Warrior either.

300EX:
smaller
less power
5-speed
stupid reverse procedure
300cc
Somewhat better handling

Warrior:
much roomier
more power
6-speed
easier reverse
350cc

 

How close of a run would it give a 400ex?

 

I'll openly admit that the 400EX will smoke a Warrior pretty bad. But it also depends on rider weight and experience. Still, I'd rather be able to catch back up on the trail when they're having to PULL theirs instead of pulling a little lever and backing up. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

u ought 2 go with the 250x cause it is plenty big enough anyone and it is fast and also a HONDA

 

warrior its the best quad ever made but deep down i am honda in my heart

 

im 6'0 145lbs and i dont feel a bit cramped. And what do you mean a warrior is the best quad ever made? out of what terrain? its good and all but i dont think its the best quad ever made.

 

BTW, the power is a very unnoticable difference, 5 speed will keep up with a 6 speed, handling is way better,and my dad is 6'5 and he fits on it great.

 

I'm 6'2" and decline to mention my weight, but it's more than 215. I "fit" on my wife's 300ex, but I wouldn't want to ride it for too long. It's not really a matter of fitting the machine as it is a matter of giving it too high a center of gravity. The machine feels too tippy for me and lifts the front end way to easy. Of course, this may only be in comparison to my Predator, which feels plenty roomy to me and is solid as a rock.
