a raptor 350 would be a better choice. a 250ex would not be good on the track but the raptor 350 will do fine on both.

Z400 or a 400ex would be more suitable.

Shaft driven, semi-auto and smaller. Go with a 400ex. Like ATVTRAILER said you will thank yourself. I weigh 154 and ride a 400ex with a lil go go.

the 250 is on the slow side, 300ex is ok, but overall the 400 class is the best all around class

It's always better to have too much power than not enough. If you get the 250ex (Unless you are 7-12 years old), then you will find yourself growing out of it and getting board FAST. You'd probably be better going with a Z400 or 400ex. Even if  you dont use all the power that they have, at least you know you have it for when you start getting more comfortable with the bike. All the bikes ride double alright, but trails and stuff are A LOT harder to ride because you dont have as much control of the bike. If you want to ride double a lot, go with a utility (More comfortable and a lot easier to handle with 2 people). Hope I helped  ;D
