250ex's are automatic

250ex's are automatic
250 ex's are semi automatic, not automatic yet not manual, perfect for a new rider

ya there is not a clutch so you only have to use your foot to shift.

semi autos are grate for begginers. my theory is that if you can ride anything but an automatic you shopuldnt be riding anything at all.
its happened to me before. the group i ride with knows that i am the best at getting out of freaky situations and i can get on ANY bike and get it out of trouble. if you can ride a clutch you instantly become a better rider who can ride anything that you sit on. (except my girl friend lol)

blasters are the most dependable 2 stroke ever made. i had a 96 and it ran until last winter on the stock bore. it hauled my fatass (250) around for a few years. i never had a problem with it until i broke a ring. they are fast but dont have much ground clearance at all. u gotta be careful where u go or u will get stuck very quickly. best upgrade u will make is takin those balloons they call tires off the back of the damn thing. Razrs or holeshots are nice. GREAT STARTER QUAD IMO!!!
