My bro wants a 300ex

Give him some advice??

 

You need to be clear, how much does he weigh? how tall is he? what terrain does he ride? does he want to race?etc etc.

 

I'd say if he wants a 300EX, then let him get it [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Has he researched any other options?

 

He Is Just over 5 feet and he weights about 106 pounds

He likes to ride the feilds the woods and Mx tracks

He has reasheached upon the warrior and anything in that class

 

If he's that small, then I'd say a 300 .. not that the Warrior would be too powerful, but it's a bit heavier. Then again, from what I hear the 300EX you have to cross your right arm under your left arm to activate the reverse, which is very silly if you ask me... my point being, at 5ft tall, he might have trouble reaching. I've only ever stood next to a 300EX, so I can't say for sure.

The Warrior is a nice easy machine to handle, and it's also fairly stable, especially for hill climbing. For any MX or fast woods trails, he'd probably be better off with the 300EX.

I would say though, that for the top brand machines (no offense to Kasea or any other brand not commonly known to me) , his only options are the 300EX or the Warrior if he wants a clutch. Unless he wants to step up into the 400's.

 

Thanx a Ton

 

for his size he should check out a blaster

 

i would say he should check out the kasea skyhawk 250. It only whieghs 356# ( you could loos 15# just buy switching wheels). It has 22hp at the crank which is the equvilent of a 300 ex but with less whieght. Plus its a twin cylander. you could get a new 03 OTD for 2,950$.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

He will have NO problem with the reverse or anything else. I am just over 5 feet and I love my 300ex. And you may hear a lot about the reverse being hard to engage...but it takes me the same amount of time on mine as it takes me or my brother on his KFX400.

 

he already owned a blaster
