Hi every one! i just checked out the new honda 250. it looks sweet! i was wondring mybe its the right quad? im 14 5'8" abooou 145 lbs.. am i too big!! im coming up from a 90cc and the transmission on the ex looks sweet! i wanted to sped about 3500 and it fits right in. mybe i should get something bigger? i want it to last. thanx

 

That bike would probobly be fine for you right now but your going to out grow it pretty quick. Go with something bigger. You say you wanna spend around $3500, find a nice used 400.

 

I am with 1bad450r. My girlfriend is 5'6" and 115 lbs and has no trouble riding the 400ex. My 2nd choice would be the Raptor 350.

 

In my state of NORTH CAROLINA it would be illegal for you to ride anything over 90cc until you are 16.

 

just like alot of states...im not trying to start anything but by the time most people are 12 or 13 riding a 90cc quad is just dangerous...they are too small

 

id say go for a used 400ex...you can pickup a sweet one with parts on it already for 3500 bucks...and youll love the power it has coming from a 90cc...i mean youll think the 250ex is fast coming from a 90 but youll just love the 400...great quads run really strong and pretty much forever, youll never want to get off it[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

i'v checked out the 400ex but i kind of wanted reverse. it can really come in handy!

 

yea thats true but they only weight 375 pounds which isnt all that much...i mean my friends is really small and he has no problem picking it up and turning it around...what about a nice 300ex...they got reverse and are pretty quick for a 300? check into that as well...

 

you can also check out the z250 or even better faster and cheaper the blaster. i have an 88 and it still runs perfect and starts 2nd or 3rd time. it has all the power you need and when moded can hang with the 450s. the honda is fine but i just woudent go with a shaft driven bike. to much power loss. you think the 250 is fast untill you race it. you will lose most of the time on a 250 ex compared to a blaster, or 300-400ex.the best is the banshee but you need more cash and wieght for that.

 

I think its retarded too.
