250ex opinions

[macg1]

well im a 13 year-old kid and i ride mostly all trials and i wanted to no your guys opinions on the 250ex. im getting an 04 with a big gun pipe, new tires, and handlebars. Ive seen it been riden and it looked kind of slow. Im also after surgery right now so i cant test drive it. Wat u guys think of it?

how much are you getting it for? is this your first quad? only trail riding i assume?

mite wana look at a 400ex...i got a 300 when i was 13....had a choice btween that or a 400 both were the same price.....the dealer convinced me out of it lyin 2 me sayin it did 85 and i'd get injured badly.....still regret it

I would look into a 300ex. When i was 13 i got a 1998 300ex for $800 and it was awsome. I only put $150 dollers into it and it looks like this.

If i were you i would get a 300ex. When i was 13 i got a 1998 300ex for $800. I put about $150 since then and it looks good. I highly recommend one for your age.

i doubt its possible to get a 300ex now for less than 1400 and is there really that much of a difference.. idk maybe later on ill inherit my brothers 400
so u guys dont approve of the 250ex?

250exs are good, but not great. if your 13 your already too big for a 250. They just do not have any potential at all, and the shaft drive really limits things, cant regear at all unless you want to buy bigger or smaller tires. the power is very mellow and the shocks are horrible. a 300ex is better than a 250 in every catagory you look at, besides the 250ex being auto clutch. with a 300, you can actually mod them the way you want, but with a 250 your stuck with what you have stock. i had a 250ex for almost 3 years, and half way threw my second season on it i was ready for a bigger bike..

Since money seems to be a problem I would buy the 250ex. Heck it is your first quad ride the heck out of it then save money and trade it in on a bigger quad in a year or 2. There very reliable to. You should be able to make you money back. If money isn't a problem I would go with a 300ex. I think you would get more use out of it since you have rode already.
