ok my mom told me not to get her a sport but she is 14 and she rides ok but she dosent need one with speed now she thinks a 250 ex is to fast for her but she wants to get the recon now arnt they the same

[TRX450R_Racer]

Same motor.

[rubicon500kid]

so they would be the same speed and every thing right

[rubicon500kid]

ok can any 1 put some more info fast plz cuz now she is saying that cops look for sport bikes , and that it hase less plastices then the recon so its more dangours

[96 warrior]

i dont no about that cop thing, but i think its same engine but geared a little lower  more power/less speed

[TRX450R_Racer]

I think a 250EX will be more fun for her.

[rubicon500kid]

thats what i told my mom

[96 warrior]

tell her a 250 ex would be easier to handle , there small and light

My wife who is on the smaller side..5'5 116lb rides a Suzuki Z250 and loves it. She can keep up with the sport bikes and still go through enough mud to make her happy.

Last year I rode the 250z they rent at Durhamtown Plantation and was impressed. The auto-clutch is easy to use and you just shift with your foot whenever you are ready. You can get the front up if you really work at it but not nearly as easily as the 400 due to the power difference so it's safer for the younger crowd. I think in the last 250 shootout the Suzuki beat out Honda in most performance areas.

Eric, you are right. The Z250 beat out the other 250s in some "shootout"/"test" they had this past year. The looks, feel, and smooth ride conviced us this was the bike to get my wife. I've ridden both the Z250 and Z400 and surprisingly the Z250 is just as smooth as the 400.

Go with a 250ex Or go with the reacon its cool cause there semi auto.

[NP04Foreman]

go with 250ex dude... they're quick but not too quick they do about 55 or 56 a recon doesnt go as fast and it has slower acceleration... When i was 8 I was riding a 250EX and i handled it good still in the middle of 4th gear
