blaster sounds perfect for ur size and weight.

 

I would get the 400ex because

Its faster
Jumps better
wheelies better
reliable
IMO looks cool
e start
handles good

Oh and if you can get a z/kfx for around the same price i would get one of them over the ex.

 

NVM my last post. I thought i read you were 15. The blaster is a good fourwheeler to learn on. If you don't know how to use a manual clutch you can learn on the blaster. It is also easy to matain. And yes the blaster sounds just right for your height and weight. Also the z-250 and 250ex would be good choices. Good luck on your decision. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

the blaster is a great choice and a great quad have fun man

 

Z250 and 250ex dont compare to the blaster, so if you have a thirst for speed the blaster is the best way to go for a rider your size. I used to have one and before that I had a 250 recon (same motor as the ex) and the blaster was 10 times more fun. If you know how to ride you can easily keep up with or sometimes beat 400ex's except for top speed. Its up to you and whether you prefer 2 strokes or 4, but I have to say IMO the blaster is a much more sport-oriented bike.

 

I would never want a 400 lb quad rolling on a 125 lb body, inch your way up cowboy. You may have the tools for a 400cc class quad but you should be riding something that wont kill you if the unexpected happens. And one thing I know after riding for years, the unexpected will happen. I have two kids, 10.5 years old about the same build as you. The 400 class quads are quite a handfull. You guys dont have the weight to use any body english on that size quad to ride it agressively at all, Ive witnessed it first hand. The blaster is a great quad for your size and it has plenty of scoot and power and can easily be increased as you grow into it.

By the way, my 398 lb raptor rolled on me this january and was left with a basket full of broken ribs. Im 6' 2" 230 lbs and glad I wasnt half that size when that pig followed me rolling over.

 

Not to contradict your suggestion turtler, but just because your quad weighs 100 lbs less, doesnt mean you are going to get messed up.

i ride a stock yamaha blaster, i flipped it and had it run me over, cracking my shin bone, and both my wrists. there is no quad you can buy, and expect to be safe on, just ride more careful then i did.....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

 

im about 5'6 and weigh 120 (wet)[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

I agree, riding safe is the key and 300 lbs is a load to fall on you too.
