well ive been thinking about it and i decided i want a 400ex........for one i like how good they wheelie A+ on that. but how fast does it go????is it enought to compete with my dads completely stock banshee.....how reliable is a 400ex....and how good is the suspention(spelling?) like hitting a ramp that shoots up 9 foot in the air at like 3rd gear half throttle?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] and what are the good and bad about them....any help would be great...

 

i hear they go around 65 i think it owuld keep up with a stock banshee and the suspention is fine for that kind of jump just might be a little hard on the landing they are super reliable and theres nothing bad about them IMO but other might have something bad to say about them

 

ok, i have one, they are great for wheelies, it runs about 70MPH, I think it is better than the banshee but on a drag race you'll be smoked by your dad, on the trails and jumping you'll kick his ***. They are incredibly reliable everybody knows that [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] ..the suspensions is good enough to catch big air and ride trails and that.. it's nothing spectacular but I think it'll be enough for you.. you say 9 foot in height or distance? cause in height thats a lot, but I've pulled 34 feet jumps (distance) with no prob..
by the way..the 2005 is out it has reverse and looks as sick *** the 450R ..

GO GET IT!

 

if you get one, you will be pleased.

 

im talking trails, mx and some dunes
so could i get him with a 400ex then?

 

like warmdye said, you'll be pleased, I ride 80 percent dunes and it is G r e a t, on trails it handles perfect, on mx I can't tell but you can see that before the 450's there were only 400ex's and 250r's. I think the 400EX is kind of a legend [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

good luck [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

well the honda is a great machine of course it is a little slower than the banshee and your dad will smoke you. but when that yamaha 2 stroke is being worked on cuz it broke down that little bit slower wont matter because at least you will still be riding thanks to hondas awesome reliability

 

atc is right u buy hondaand u buy reliablitity, plus price isl low
