There is a few auto clutch atv's around. You change gears but no clutch, just let off the throttle.
Honda 250EX is what my wife rides and she loves it.
Not the most powerful but still a good, reliable & sporty atv.
She keeps up with us when we go to Stockton.
RIZ looks keen to sell his in the 'Buy & Sell' section, $4,500.
My 2cents worth.
If you haven't already purchased your YFZ450, check out 'Buy & Sell', always a good bargain there.

hey luvsit,
if your looking for a full auto (cvt) and mid sized, your pretty much limited to
polaris trailblazer 250 ,polaris phoenix 200 and the can-am ds 250
i bought my girlfriend a can-am and we are really happy with it,its really easy to use but it does lack a bit of power.
good luck |

| If you want something that might keep up you got the scrambler 500 or the kfx 700 |

| my wife has a polaris trailblazer it's a great easy to ride bike not real fast but fast enough for a begginer, i used to have a 500 scrambler 4x4 also fully automatic perfect bike for trail riding if you want an auto will go anywhere, both bike are really reliable & easy to maintain. have fun out there |

My wifes got a pheonix ,great entry level machine.It's like a lounge chair on wheels .If you look at a pheonix make sure it's a 2006 or better the seats much thicker and there were a few other bugs fixed.

| Take a look at the Aeon Cobra 220, They make the Phenoix for Polaris and add a bit more on and the price is good. Got one for my wife and she loves it. Was told they will have a 330 some time this year.[/img] |

Not being funny here, the kfx is a lot of power to handle, likes to lift up the front a lot, and a real big heavy bike to throw around, just my own opinion naturally.

You... never, well thats your problem I feel. Have you ever riden a KFX, well I suggest you get on one (with a decent exhaust system).
And if keep this up I'll get you to moderate your self. So there HAHAHA
