Default YZF or a YFZ

im kind of torn between a 4wheeler or a dirtbike. i already own a XR200 (Dirtbike) but im interested in a 4wheeler. I ride my friends rancher and Blaster a lot so i think i can handle a the 450. im not gonna go crazy with it until i get used to it. We ride Tracks, open fields, trails, and an occasionally some mud. The reason im interested in a quad is the trails are a little to slippery for a bike to keep control. i dont want a utility atv i want somthin that can MX and go fast also.

Thanks,
Franks

Either 450 has so much more power than the blaster.

Either 450 is to much for you. You ride a Blaster and a Utility Rancher. Then a XR200. You could get used to a YFZ but there wont be getting used to a YZ. The YZ is way to much for you. Whats your size before I get into this

im talkin either a YZ250F Dritbike or a YFZ450 quad. im 6 ft, 150lbs, but im no weakling. I ride my uncled 250f alot and a kx125 so im used to sudden burst of power. like i said before im not gonna go wide a$$ open the first day i get it. (If i need to be more clear on the dirtbike terms, just say so.)

Well for your age and size you should be able to handle something that size. I thought you were like 13 14 when we first started talking because of riding a blaster or whatever. You should be fine on them. I'm 16 and 5 Foot 8 130 pounds and I ride a Raptor just fine. I will be getting me a YFZ very soon though. I want the best out there and the YFZ is the best right now in ATV world. Have Fun riding
