Im 13 and 125 pounds i ride a 300ex and i am alredy bored of it and am looking to save for a 450r, just save your money and buy a faster quad because at first its great but after a while you lose intrest and want to go faster, but i jump it and its not the best but its not bad

 

well i'm probably not gunna ride that much, i'm 15...
so yeah.. and i get excited over... new tv shows so i think that 250ex would be good for a while...
who knows.. maybe i will save up for something bigger.

 

I have two 250 Fourtrax, for the wife and myself.

I am some 230lbs and I am having a riot on these little bikes that can go anywhere, never break and cost very little to operate.

A beginner bike - for sure.

Get tired of it?? That depends on the rider.
-If you want to race - get something bigger.
-If you want to tool around on the trails and enjoy the ride - It's a great bike, enjoy.

Too Much Power with an inexperianced rider, has killed too many people.

Take your time and learn, How to Ride.
There is time to be foolish later.

 

im 15 as well, have a 250 recon, pretty much the same as the 250ex. the recon was my first quad, i bought it when i was 13. ive gotten a little bigger and more experienced. so now im selling it and getting a bigger quad a 450 grizzly, a 250 is a great beginner. i say its fine though. you can save and get bigger when you feel you want to upgrade

 

I have to agree with BAIR. I have a 07 TRX250EX and it all depends on your riding intentions. If your going to race, you should probably get something bigger. If your just trail riding and want to have fun without spending a fortune, the TRX250EX is perfect. I'm 5'11", 165lbs and the 250 has plenty of power to pull me around.

 

ok thanks guys, i'm 6'1 200lbs so thats good for me?

 

maybe you should get a 300ex

 

Its not that i dont have fun on it, its just that i want to go bigger, I also ride everday causse of where i live and my buddy down the street rides too. i just kind of feel the need to go faster but for a begining bike i love it

 

Bair, if you didnt know, a 250"x" and a 250"ex" are to different things. A 250x is a older model of the 300ex. By the way FWG, a 250ex can hold up to 243lbs as it says on my '03.Im 13, 5'5', 130lbs, and I like my 250ex. I've only got a UNI filter as far as engine mods. Get a HMF pipe, jets, UNI air filter, and it will open it up! I plan on buying myself an HMF in the future. But I think you'd be better starting off on a 300ex. The 2007's are awesome. They also updated the plastics, and the reverse mechanism. And about racing, the 300ex is perfect for that too. Good luck on your decision....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
