if it were me, id roll up with one of those scooters that all the 13yr olds are driving around these days.

talk about gettin the chix! woooo!

 

Well he told us all he's new to the atv world, so that would infact tell me that he knows nothing about them and needs help deciding on what displacement to go with for his age. Not should
he wear pants or a skirt. BIG DIFFERENCE, in my book !
Trying to help......tryin to help who??? It doesn't mean join in with the jerks tearing him down.
You didn't even give him advice.........throwin him on a 400ex is lookin like trouble for an inexpeienced 17 yr.old, who just mentioned he can't have something fast because his father lost a
friend and almost lost his own life on atv's.

CKYRIOBRAVO.............Go with the 250ex, it's kinda inbetween slow & fast, but very controlable
for a new comer into the sport. I will say that there are others out there for you to look at,
like the LT160 Suzuki, Z-250 Suzuki,Kymco 250, Yamaha Breeze 125, Alphasports Cobra 180,
and a couple of others out there I can't remember off hand. It's NOT what your friends like
that counts........It's what YOU like. If it feels good to YOU ...then by all means IT'S FOR YOU !!

 

you win, I'm done. I honestly think a 400ex would be suitable for a beginner though.

 

Maybe he ment XR500, to answer your question I would say anything in the 250 to 400 class. Its not the size of quad your dad has to worry about its how you choose to ride it.

 

fst4wrd is completely right... it only goes as fast as you tell it to....... my 400ex is only the 2nd quad i have ever driven, and before i got it i rode my neighbor's rancher at... so, how much do ya weigh, and where will you be riding??

BIGGONE, calm the hell down, man.

 

Alright I will.. but lets be nice to the new comers..... Alright.

 

Get something with reverse.............

 

hey dirtrooster thats a sweet lookin raptor you got there

 

goodie, now we're all a big happy family again! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] lol

 

i agree with BIGONE on this one warmdye that was very disrespectful......now on the other hand i would have to say go with either a 300ex or 400ex.if you really want reverse get the 300 but if you dont NEED it get the 400,i personally dont think a 400ex is too much for an inexperienced person ya just gotta know your limits.
