ok thanks. this might be a little too extreme but is a yfz450 too big/powerful? i know its a racing quad and all which is why im thinking its too much power for me.

Well, it might be, but my philosophy is that if you are a good rider, you can learn it slowly. You may have the power, but think of a rich old man and his corvette, he has the power, but doesn't use it. Just practice and it will not be scary anymore. I went from a 250ex to a banshee easily.

 

i agree, 400ex is a GREAT alternative. i might be getting one in like two hours lol. the only bad thing is suspension, but there is an easy fix, 450r front shocks mount right up ive heard.

 

ok thank you. i think im going to buy the 350. thanks for all the help [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I've got a 07 SE 350 for sale. were are you located? The raptor 350 is faster in the woods than the 250, I raced the 07 that is for sale and a kid about your age had a 250 decked out and I walked away from him on the starts and in the woods.

 

get the 350. much more better

 

Go with the raptor 350. I've smoked raptor 250's with my my blaster when it was stock by far.

 

pick the 350 even though your small for you age if youve been riding for a while like you said and you are good at controling a quad get the 350. remember "bigger is better".

 

i was thinking about getting a ttr 125. how do u like it? would you reccomend it?

 

How can tha 250 Raptor be even close to the 350? The 250 has the same motor as a 250 4-stroke, SOHC, 2-valves Grizzly/Big Bear except with a 3mm bigger bore,making it a 249cc vs a 230. The 350 has the same motor that was used in a 350 Warrior and has longer suspension front and back and has a 6 speed vs the 250s 5 speed. The 250 has a 29mm carb while the 350 has a much larger 36mm. Even the 250 Utility uses a 33mm carb.
