i am 15 years old and about 5 foot 4. this will be my first atv so i was wondering what bike would be best. i dont want anythin too fast for my first bike but dont want to get bored with it either

thanks

300ex definatly. it is a good beginner quad and you wont get tired of it. then when you are ready to go faster just get a pipe and rejet it.

yea i would go with the 300ex

i would go with the 350 raptor becouse u got more power then all the other and i'm in to trail riding and i've seen warrior go up some steep hills and the raptor has more power then the worrior so thare u go

Raptor dosent have more power, its the same motor.

but the more i read about that raptor 250 i bet you would love that 1 more in the end.

yea the raptor and warrior as the same.. except for the resale value.... its all ancient technology

the raptor 250 has its goods and bads,, for example its light (315 or somthing dry)

bad- 2 valve engine and personally i dont think it will respond well to mods..

not trying to argue.. just giving my honest opinion

if ya get the 250 make sure ya get the black one that way you can put on the graphics yourself

the rappy 350 is not really the same *** the warrior, they changed the engine a lil and frame mods to make it lighter but it still strugles to move couse its so heavy and my best bud had one and it sucks balls i love the 700r but the 350 is a turd , il go with teh 300 man trust me

My Dad used to have a 300EX and its what i learned how to ride on back when i was 8 or 10 ish. Probably one of if not THE best clutch quad to learn on. Extremely easy to drive and reliable as hell.

I personally think the warrior is just....Nasty... I'd get a 300EX all day long over a warrior.

Curious, why not consider a 400EX? Just a thought.

yea i actually was considering a 400ex. they are just a lot more expensive, i have been trying to find a used 400 for a good price but no luck so far. i will keep looking

i have a raptor 350 and it was the first quad i got i like it a lot i think its a good learning quad and you can beat a 300 ex.....if you wanted to make the 300 ex go fast itd be better to just buy a 400. with the raptor youll just need a few things and youll be able to keep up with the rest and it also looks better too..

the 400ex is your best chose and it is reliable

Raptor 250, honda300extreme says tht it will not do well with upgrades, it will the 350 has 2 valves as well. It still runs circles around the Quadsport 250, 250EX, 300EX, with the heavy weight on tha 350, tha 250 will beat it in acceleration, but in top speed probably not, if u want to know anything else just send me a message

If u buy the Honda 300ex u wont be disipointed.

We have both and both are completely stock and the Raptor 350 smokes the 300 all day long. I have ridden them both and do not like how the 350 shifts really long throw compared to my 450r. Both have reverse and both are a pain to use. The Raptor is alot more comfortable. As far as upgrades I really havent looked around yet.
