Which do you all prefer????

I am thinking of buying a motion pro twist kit for my 250r project. Im not quite sure yet so I wanted to see what everyone else was using.

Ive always used the thumb... so Im a little worried the twist just wouldnt feel right on a quad... although I have no problems on my sons kX 125.

Its up to you all... Tell me what to do...

It takes some getting use to but I switched and I am glad I did, I feel like I have more control holding on to the entire bar, when you put it on give it some time, dont go to wild at first because its WAY differnt then it is on a bike.

I did a count at one of the GNC Nationals of the pro class. 17 with thumb and only 3 with twist. Have not checked in the past year, but I would guess that the numbers are still about the same.

DO NOT BASE YOUR DECISION ON ANYONE ELSES OPINIONS!!! nobody else will get injured or pay for any damages to your machine should you get a little out of control. get what feels most confortable to you. if you're use to thumbs why switch...

i like the thumb cause if u get on two wheels or land a jump wrong and u hang onto the bars, u mite accidently give it gas and take of and crash.

thumb, because i don't like to jump with a twist throttle.

it takes a while to get used to a twist but once i did ilove it. no more cramps. i think its just whatever u feel good with.
