hey,my little bro who is going to be 11 in august is currently riding a trx 90. he handles it perfect and he will probably outgrow it soon. he has ridden a 300ex before and suprisingly he didnt do that bad, other than being too small. i want to get him something that he can grow into and have some fun and the 250ex seems perfect. anyone out there riding a 250 under the age of 12?

my 12 year old sister rides my 250ex and handles it just fine. if youre brother can do all right on a 300ex he can handle a 250ex.how big is he?

Yea a 250ex is a great ATV for him! I'm getting a 250ex this May or June. This will be my first quad but it will be the best and I know that because I've ridden countless quads and over half of them were bigger than a 250ex. I only didn't like the more powerful quads because It's miserable when you have a quad and can barely handle it.

I'm 14.. and i'm about 5'11" tall and I recently went riding with a bunch of buddies and i was on a friends 250ex..its a nice quad except for i don't like they way the transmission handles when ur tryin to shift it fast .. i think for ur lil bro it would b fine for another couple of years..

im 5'9, 175 and my 250ex hauls me around just fine, but i DEFFENTLY want more, but ive had it for 3 or so years. at his age and size i think it is perfect for him. also if you dont want him going full throttle just yet, you can put smaller rear tires on it and it will make it go a little slower but give it more bottom end.

hey whats goin on.. i have a 2003 250 ex and its honestly all you need for the trails, if you slap some aftermarket tires, an exhaust, KN air filter and other little performance products your 250ex it will keep up fine with other quads. mine has a top speed of about 55 and it wheelies amazingly. it jumps well too but dont do too much jumping or you will end up like me with a messed up axle. i do wish i went with a 400ex now though, becuase i have outgrown the power output. i hope this helps.. peace

you might want to learn how to shift. seriously, if you have a problem shifting a 250ex, you need some help.

hey remeber in my last post I said I was getting a 250ex this May or June? Well I just got my 250ex last wendsday and I love it!!! It is great on gas! I already put almost 15 hours on it!

I have a question. Does anyone think 15 hours is a long enough break-in time? or should I go 20 hours just incase?
