Message: [QUOTE="jski, post: 722813, member: 22603"] My wife doesn't ride bikes either so I bought her a warrior and she hates it but we ride in the sand so even with paddles and a pipe it has a hard time in certain areas. I really don't care for it either because like the banshee and blaster Yamaha has not made any real changes since 1987 which means the chassis etc are dated to say the least. Kawasaki has a new 700cc out that is a fast and fun automatic but is alittle heavy and about 6K. Overall having rode must sport quads over the past few years I would look at the following: Suzuki Z-400 or Kawasaki KFX 400 great overall bikes but not automatic plus has been out a few years now and not too expensive used. Polaris 400 Scrambler nice cheap automatic 2-stoke Honda 300 or 400ex great quality, nice ride, no reverse and is manual not auto. Kawasaki 250 Mojave ok bike just doesn't have the features of the others but is cheap. Warrior you can find a nice one for under $2,200 but I would go with the others first except maybe the Mojave. Blaster stay far away if you want your wife to continue riding. Short wheelbase, kick start, air cooled entry level junk that eats top ends because they run hot. Also not very stable with poor suspension Banshee great dune bike once you ditch the stock pipes. My wife rides on now and likes it but they are rather exp. and are a twin cly. so 2 of everything. Well I hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
