You ever rode is really the first question? How much you want to spend? and how tall/weight are you? That would help us.

Your height and weight with 4 stroke would be at least a Warrior, Honda 300ex, or Polaris Trail Boss just for starters. The Blaster and a 250 honda or 250 suzuki you would probably fit but your only 15 and I imagine you will grow a lot over the next year. You will probably get really used to those and upgrade to the 300s + anyway. Just be careful and wear your helmet.

Peace

i would recomend the honda 400ex. it has awsome handling and it will pull your weight like nothing. It is also one of the most reliable quads out there. If i were you i would a a 400ex, i have one and i love it.

go with the KFX400 or Z400 - same bike, green is a little more trick though. I believe both have reverse and are liquid cooled. They also have a little more power than the 400ex.

Don't get me wrong, the 400ex is an awesome quad... I own one and am very happy with it..... but as a new rider on trails, the reverse will come in handy.. if you go smaller than a 400cc quad, you may regret it after a few months of riding, just be careful and ride to your skill level or a little above, [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I think the bike that would suit you the most would be the 400ex or the z400/kfx400
