twist or thumb?
I have to say I like the thumb. I feel like I would have more control with a thumb. I have never ridden with a twist, on a quad, only on dirt bikes. I feel that dirt bikes should stay twists and quads should stay thumbs. But thats just my opinion.

Well i never heard anyone ever complain when riding over rocks of accidentally gunning the throttle on a dirtbike.............i had a twist on my blaster for 2 years and i absolutely loved it. It does take some time to get used to, but after that you'll never want to go back to thumb throttle.....at least i didnt lol!!! I plan on gettin one on my rappy very soon!

personally i like thumb because it is a less risk kinda thing. if ur about to crash or somthing and you get scared u tense up and you might twisth teh throttel, its easier to let go of the thumb
I would also use a thumb throttle on a manual and a twist on an automatic trans.
