If she gets the quad soon she might not like it.Also another bike might come out that she will like and then she won't want the 250.

i have a 250ex and love it. i do know how to use a clutch,so i got the ex so i don't have to goof with it. and i like the shaft drive(no chain to adjust). i do mosty trail riding and some hill climbs. being a first time Quad rider is why i picked a 250ex. i'll get a bigger one someday. but for now i'm having fun with this one.

thats what i tried to tell her but i dont think she care too much about that because she dosnt expect to get anything else later..

honda2003- z250 also is shaft driven with no clutch.. it also has more ccs do i assume it would be faster

it may be but if it is not that much faster.

Sportraxboy10 i don't know too much about quads. i'm all new to them. the Z250 may also be a good quad. i had the choice of getting a new 2003 250ex or a 2003 Yamaha Blaster(200, 2 stroke). i just didn't like the idea of oil injection so i got the honda.

cool honda2003... how are u likin the ex? blasters are awsome machines ( i used to have one) and the oil injector dosnt cause to many problems........ but i must say they arnt nearly as reliable as a 250ex.... y didnt u get a 300ex?

i didn't get the 300ex because i didn't have the money for it. i've had it for 1 month now. i've got it stuck in the mud over its wheels 3 times. had to be pulled out 2 of those times:D . i'll have me a 400ex someday i just didn't want to get into anything too big for my first quad. its been 15 years since i've rode anykind of motorcycle.

01 250ex --- how do you like the T-4? is it very loud? the places where i ride at, you must have quiet exhaust.

I like my t4 but i wish i would have got the header with it. It is loud but not really loud.

Well since the Z is a first year quad i Say go with the Honda. And plus IMO Honda is the only way to ride. They make great quads. Ya can't bust 'em(Isn't that Buddy Lee)
