go with the recon, great all around quad, plush, nice price tag, and great for a beginner.

 

im 14 i got my wolvy when i was 12 and still lvoe it sport utitly always 4x4 you can buy the 424 kit to take tyhe 4x4 into a oncammand push botton itch makes it feel like a 300ex and you can modd them really good if you choose i like em at least

 

I am 15, check out my ride(s) on my pics page

 

look at the ozark or z250. The ozark has proven itself reliable, light enough for a smaller rider but also big enough that he wont out grow it ever. Both the machines have exalent suspention and are based on the same frame and motor. my cousen has one and it will carry me around easely even though im 5'11, 195lbs.
