I never drove any ATV well exept when i was little I have drove those kids stuff with batteries. But right now i just need something good to start off with but not something like to slow something i could use for quiet a while.

i want to ask if someone may help me with tips and stuff so i know what i can buy.

thankss

hey bro if i were you i think ide go for a raptor 250... the 350's are slow.... i highly reccomend a blaster... im 110 lbs and the blaster rocks my world... so if u could find a decent blaster, 250, or even a 400ex i say go for it!

cheers bro! have a good one

I rarely take the blaster out but hey its a good quad for my girl friend.. thinking about giving it to her. Good luck. Quads are tons of fun and will never get boring.

I would have to agree both the warrior and the 400 ex are great platforms to start with and there is almost endless aftermarket parts available for them

The 400ex's are awesome trail bikes and are a little more powferful that the raptor but for the money the raptor is a better deal in my opinion. Whatever you want is up to you!

holla bro!

I'm 5 ft 10 in and i have and 03 300ex and i love it. It's really nice for tight trails and muddy conditions. I have ridden a 400ex and they are nice but might be too much for a first time ridder.
