Yea, i just got back from Whistler, up in Canada. i did some trail riding up on the 2 mountains they have that was actually what finally made me want to buy my own. on the way back i drove right past skagit motorsports(if thats the place right off I-5) but nobody i was with would stop. you guys have been a big help, i came into this with no idea of which models i should be lookin for.

 

hmmm

 

what do you guys think about the raptor 350 for someone my size?

 

it might be a great bike to learn on,,,but you will be looking to trade it in short order,,,,just not enough power

 

damn, i guess im gonna have to spend more than i want to and get a 660. i have to go through a dealership though, i dont have 7 grand lying around.

 

It would be alright to start out on, but you will grow weary of the lack of power, the actual size of the quad would be alright for you, even though you might feel alittle cramped, I know a few 6' riders that have the warrior (Raptor 350) and they do fine, it just lacks power, but it'll get you around the trails with no problem, in the sand, that's a different story, I think it's putting out about 15hp.

 

Good Morning Larry and the PSAR Crew

 

Look at your question this way

1. You're 6'5", any quad is gonna feel alittle cramped except for a big ute or a V Force, I'm 6'2" 205 and the only quad I feel cramped on is the YFZ450

2. You're weight at 205 is not a problem with anything over 400cc's, depending on where you ride, if you want to ride the big dunes at Winchester Bay in Oregon, don't get any 350cc quad, we have a few riders over the 205 mark and they kick azz on the 450's

3. You're 18yrs old, you still have some growing to do

4. Like I said before, you can pick up a Honda 400EX for a good price, it would be a great starter quad, if you want to spend more money, pick up a Raptor and if you can spend even more money go for a Honda 450TRX

 

Good Morning Ray and PSAR

Ray, what are you doing up so early?
