I am new to this forum and I have a question? I'm 14 210lbs around 6ft and have been riding atv's for 2 years. What 4wheeler should I get? I will be riding in a few trails, wide open pastures, small tracks and dunes at Little Sahara. I want something tha will keep up with my friends raptor (which he drives the heck out of). I am looking more at used atvs right now. Any response will help alot. Thanks

 

Any Help?

 

if you wanna keep up with your friends raptor i'd say YFZ450 or Banshee. it sounds like the YFZ would be a good choice.

 

well u know u dont wanna have something that is gonna put u on your as$ but im 13 and i own a raptor but i was riding a dirtbike and a quad since i was 5 years old if i where u i would go with a z400 or a kfx i wouldnt go with anything bigger since its only your 2nd year riding. And the kfx or the z is fast

 

My friend also has been riding for about 2 years. He started out on a big bear and I started on my old honda. I think I am going to stick to four strokes, because I have not hade much experience working or riding on a 2 stroke. The only 2 stroke I have ridden was my friends dads quadzilla.

 

yeah good choice i wouldnt go with a 2 stroke if i was just starting out *pretty much* but i do love when u get 2 strokes in powerband they kick as$

 

The Raptor or the YFZ are both great choices I have purchased them both in the last 2 years........I've been riding for @10 years and had alot of different quads. These two quads are awesome in the dunes, even stock no need for paddle tires. So if you want to keep up get a Raptor or a YFZ 450.

 

That is the best thing about two strokes is that powerband. Another friend of mine us to ride his banshee past my house in powerband, and it would make all of the windows in the house shake.

 

Anybody else have any comments?

 

Considering his side I would think he would be able to handle a raptor or banshee easily. If he rides as much as I did when I was 14 he should have more than enough experience (I rode about everyday). If you do get a rappy take it easy on it until you get used to it. Any of the 400's would work great too.
