Hey guys,

I've been riding here in mid-Missour at Finger Lakes for about a year now on a friend's Ozark 250 and love it. I'm 6'-5", 180 lbs (yes, I'm as skinny as that sounds) which is probably a little large for an Ozark but I feel very comfortable on it. It's pretty easy to sling around. I'm looking to buy my own soon and am thinking a sport ATV would be the way to go. Not wanting to spend loads of money but still get a nice machince, I'm looking at either a Suzuki z250 or Honda 250ex and was wondering if I would be too big for either one. I'm assuming since I'm a lightweight I'd be fine and that my height really won't matter too much. Thanks.

Duder.

 

Best way to find out, go to a dealer and sit on one. If they wont let you sit on the machine you intend to buy then they dont deserve the business!

 

if you want to drive a lil over an hour id let ya come and take my 300ex fer a spin and see how you like it. im 6'4'' and weigh about 145. i am getting somethin bigger caus it is just to small fer me. hey, id even sell it to ya if you liked it that much![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img] nathan.

 

Both of those are good machines. I just bought a Z250 this weekend. It is mainly going to be for the wife and my son. It feels small to me, but I am also used to my Z400. I am 6'3 and about 215 lbs.

 

If you want a big, inexpensive, entry-level quad check out the Polaris Trailblazer. I'm 6'3" and 250#'s and I'm wicked comfy all day long. It could use more power for sure, but good mods are fairly cheap, also....I paid $3200 OTD for a new 04.

 

fasternu u got screwed at 3200, in tennessee you could get a trailblazer otd for 2499

 

Hey I am also 6'5" but weigh in at 225. Just a tad more than you. A 250 4-stroker would definitely not be enough for me even though I ride a 250 2-stroker. If I were you I would buy a mimimum of a ex300 or you will grow out of it very quick and be wishin for a faster ride. Check the warrior or the ex300. Lots of other bikes out there for you though. If you want a sportier bike check out a 2-stroker though since it sounds like you have a little experience. You can pick up a used quadracer for about $1500 and kick all over almost any 4-stroker. Even bone stock. Whatever you are comfortable on though. Seriously I am thinking about a 4-stroke 400 or 450 myself.
