Considering the z400 beats the scrambler 500 stock, and the z400 is said to be faster then the 400ex. I would say the Scambler would most likely take it, and if it didn't it would be a close race, it really could be either.

I had a brand new 99 500 HO Scrambler , A friend had a new 400 EX .

We lined up on a 100 yard strip , the Honda easily beat the 500 Scrambler HO , it wasn't much of a race . The Honda had me by about 6 bike lengths.

Both these bikes were new and stock .

I think it mainly depends on the rider. Seems odd that the honda won by that much. I have a Sport 400 and I've beaten my cousins modded 400ex (pipe, jets) by quite a bit and my Sport is all stock. One of my friends has a new Scrambler 500 and I can beat him, but that's only because I jump him off the line. I don't really pull on him through the length of the race.

The rider weight differed by 60 pounds or so in favor of the honda .

I think I was riding the Polaris right , about all you can do is open the throttle up . (Spurring it like a horse doesn't seem to help) :-)

It was just very clear that the Honda would out accellerate my 500 Scrambler . The 60 pound weight advantage in favor of the Honda even if corrected still would not have been enough to get the Polaris out front .
