Dont let them fool you, the 250ex is plenty fast! I purchased one for my godsons 13th birthday this past august. It is super fast and gets faster and stronger the more he rides it. It easily outruns my Foreman 450 with the performance kit and he stuck right on the heels of a friends Suzuki 500 Vinson all day long. We put a set of ITP C5 wheels and one size taller Mudlite tires all around for Christmas. This thing is unstoppable. Wheelies anytime he wants to and he is always at the front of the pack..This thing is fast enough to get scarey in a lot of situations. Get one and have the time of your life!
hey man, you know you are comparing a lightweight sport quad to a 5-600+ lb machine, i'm sure the 250ex would beat a Foreman 450, also i don't know if i'd say super fast because it's the same basic engine out of a Recon and it's not close to being a true 250 neither.

peace man

Seriously man, the 250EX is a nice machine and is reliable as hell but it is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo slow and you will be begging for more power man...Just get a 400EX,Z400, or a KFX400. IMO even the 300EX is too slow for you. Get a 400 and consider it done.

What is 86LT250RFatty smoking? For a 13 year old that quad works fine. I'm 14 and I love that thing. Very reliable, and not much maitnence. I think you need to get your head examined 86LT250RFatty.

They only put the warning stickers there to not get sued. I'm 15, 205lbs and I'm either goin' to get a TRX250EX or 300EX(or a Rancher if my dad won't let me get those).

a 250ex may not be the best choice for u. i had a sportraxx 90 then needed something bigger so i got a trailblazer 250 just to figure out its slow. then i got a warrior because i found a good deal on it. because i was so used to the semi automatic transmission it took me a while to get used to the clutch.. im 13 years old and the warrior wasnt light enough for me. im about the same size as u and im plenty happy with my new 300ex.
