Title: I need help picking a new ATV.
Post by: f1gopedder on May 12, 2006, 09:27:11 PM
Hey Guys,

I am new to this forum. For the past 2 years I have owned a kasea skyhawk 250 ATV. I just now started doing the tricks and jumps so I am a beginner. It has been great to me, with no major break downs or anything. I gpsed it at 50 mph. I can do a few tricks on it and it has just gotten way to small for me and I have no idea what kind of ATV i should get next. Here is a very little video I have of me on it. Nothing special. I need a new atv that i can do tricks on. I have a new track in my back yard since we have 5 acres and my dad built the track. The new ATV will be used for going fast down a dirt road, jumps, and wheelies. I want one that you can punch the throttle and do a wheelie while you are going. That would be great. Thanks a lot for the help.

I agree with some above but for different reasons.

going from a 250cc up to a 450 like the YFZ might be too big of a jump,,,,a 400cc would be a better choice in my opinion,,,,of course I'm biased towards Honda's due to their reliability.

get a honda 400ex. the 450s would be too much of a jump probably. the 300ex is a decent fast bike but not a very fast one like a 450. any 400 would be good i guess but i perfer honda! ride red.

I own a TRX 450R and love it.  However, it is A LOT of bike and you can get hurt quick (personal experince.)  I agree with the other members, move up to like a TRX 400 and get cozy with that, you can always trade it in later if you want to move up.

older z's can be found cheaper then newer 400ex's with reverse, and the z has reverse  on all years, and they are wheelie machines!!!!!

Well if you want wheilies on command then mabye a bomb 800...? Na i would listen to these guys, they know what they are talking about. Plus i've rode a z400 a few times and trust me, its all the bike you would ever need and there is a ton of aftermarket upgrades for them. So i would go with the z400 or 400ex but hondas are a bit more expensive....
