im about 5'3 and 100lbs and im either moveing up to a z250,trx250ex,trx300ex,or a rappy 350.What do you guys think i should go with.oh by the way i may be young but im a master at clutching.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

try an older suzuki quadsport 230...ther eolder but will run forever....check out my pis man.. or perhaps a 250ex.. or a blaster...

 

what kind of riding will ou be doing more. trail,woods, dunes, jumps etc.

 

i will be doing trails and sand pits.i ve seen a 230 on the trail and it sounded good and all but my dad would say 'what a piece of junk'.i would like to get a lt250r quadracer tho.NOT REBUILT!!!

 

well im 5'5" and about 130 pounds i've driven a blaster in the woods and they arnt that great. the z250 has more than the trx250(power, drivetrain, etc.) the trx300 is alright but i've heard about frames cracking with those and they dont have much of a good ride. but the ltz250 is a semi automatic, seeing how you like clutches you may not like this bike, but i have a ltz250 and i would much rather drive that on a trail in the woods than be shifting on a clutch the whole time. but then again i dont know how aggressive of a rider you are. and i dont know alot about raptors besides the fact that they suck.lol.no offense

 

i dont ride to agrresive until im on a track or pit.my raptor is fast for a 80 ill admit...

 

if i were you i'd either go with a ltz250 or a trx300 but i've seen ltz250's smoke the 300's so. if you want a clutch and a ok ride go with a trx300, but if you want to ride trails and track/dunes and have a smooth tight ride go with a ltz 250. if you think your 80 is fast a 250 or 300 will be a big jump.

 

it only goes 32.lol.the z would be perfect for me ive ridden 1 before.i liked it a lot.

 

ha. ya thats funny.lol. i think the z would be perfect for your height and weight. the z also looks a lot better than the honda's. in my opinion.

 

well i'm a suzuki guy, but the first quad i rode was a blaster and i think that's a pretty nice bike for smaller guys!! they're really light but peppy and great for all around riding if you are good at working the clutch and powerband.. i know the 4 strokes are more rider friendly but at your height and weight i'd say the fastest funnest bike would be the blaster.. i also love two strokes.. my lt250r is my baby!!! different strokes for different folks though so i'd say ride a few bikes and go from there, don't make a decision without riding a few bikes!!
