Hey guys. I am a dirt bike rider(1991 Honda XR250R) but am wanting to get a quad also. If any of you have ridden an XR250R then you know they are not that great at wheelies unless you are really experinced in riding wheelies....so that brings me down to this..I WANT A QUAD THAT WILL WHEELIE very easy. I also will be buying used and need something no higher really than 2500$ which might be hard to find a 400ex in this price range since they just started making it in 99. I hear the 400ex will do wheelies super easy and thats why I am interested in it. I will be riding Fire Roads and some pretty tight trails through the woods...As some of you may know Honda's line of XR dirt bikes are some of the most reliable bikes to this day and thats another thing that turns me on to the 400ex is that it uses the same RFVC engine design as the XR250R,400R,and 600R which are bullet proof. Let me know what you think...Only thing that worries me is that I won't be able to find one in my price range. Thanks for your time guys. Matt

you might be able to find a 400ex for 2500 i paid 3000 for mine so there could be a 1999 out there for pretty cheap. a 300ex i think wheelies easier than a 400

 

300ex is the best wheelie machine on earth, and the easiest
with a little practice you can ride a wheelie on a 400ex and after you get used to it you will have a great machine
my buddy can ride a wheelie on anything, you should see him wheelie his grizzly for 300 feet, he can even ride a wheelie in his F350 truck, he is really good!!!
