ok. I went to the dealer saturday. I almost have my dad talked into an EX but I dont know which one. I like the ergos of the 400, but I like the reverse of the smaller EX. Im 5 feet tall and weigh 96 lbs. Which would be better for me?

 

For you I would probably have to say the 300ex. They are both very good machines. But serve two different purposes. 300ex Sport trail riding, semi-agessive riding, 400ex High Proformance, agressive trail riding, racing. Keep in mind both machines can be made to do it all.

 

Like I said before it's the difference between going 35 MPH and 65 MPH....you choose

 

you already have a recon, to play go all the way
and get the 400ex, for play and recon to **** around on

 

juventus,

You just don't get it, do you.......
This is a young kid, that doesn't even weight 100lbs. Great idea, let's put him on a 400EX.
Let's get high performance quads banned for another 10 years.

I've seen plenty of your posts, and the only thing you do is rip everything apart. Unless of-course it has something too do with the 400EX.

Grow up.....

opps, double post.

 

Easy man, I'm just trying to hand out a little friendly advice. He's young, will grow and gain weight...I just don't want him to get a small slow bike he'll outgrow in a year. I would however recommend that his sister or his mother get a 300EX though!

 

CStark: I felt very comfortable on a 400ex and think I can handle it. juventous or whatever his name is has a right to say what he thinks. And if I cant handle a 400ex I take all the blame for killing myself. :P

 

Good man, Thumper. I've made a few comments about the 300EX before on other threads and CStark gets bent out of shape. Everyone wants to justify their purchase...even not so good ones. I happen to love my 400EX and wouldn't even consider a 300EX but you'll have to make that choice. Every decision is a cost/benefit one...is the benefit worth the cost. If you have any riding experience I think a 400EX would be fine and get the 300EX for your mother or grandmother.

 

Umm, there's nothing slow about a 300EX! I don't have one but I ride with 300EX's and 400EX's and Banshee's and the 300EX does fine. With an aftermarket pipe and filter the 300EX is a mean machine! Plus it's cheaper, and it has reverse. Just my 2 cents.
