Default what atv

i am wonderin what would be a good sport atv for someone who is 6 feet tall and weighs 160 lbs. but the person is still growing so they will get bigger. so they would be able to grow into a larger one than the size you would normally get for a person that size. what one should i get for him.

Size doesn't make a lot of differance. What type of riding are you planning on doing MOST of the time.

I would think he would be riding on the dirt 100% of the time since that is what they are made for.
Like most people he's probably be going to ride trails, dirt roads, gravel pits and maybe an occasional mx or cross country race when he gets some experience. One of the 400's would be best. I would reccomend the Suz. Z400 or the Kawi. KFX400. They're really identicle quads, it's just a matter of color.

well i dont think that he will be racing any time soon. i also elive that it will mostly be gravel roads and dirt trails. but the 400 would be a little small dont you think i mean he is still goin to grow. and i want it to last a very long time.

Do youm small in over-all size or small in power. The 400 is neither small in size or in power. If you think he needs something bigger you can go with the Raptor, DS650 or KFX700 but that's a lot of quad for someone starting out. It's easy to get into trouble in a hurry and believe me, I know. I have a list of broken bones to prove it.
