what brand is the best to buy from like which is easier to get finaced through and which has better quality. im looking to get a 400.

 

I think that the z400 is better choice in that class. All around a better machine. The 400ex is still a good choice, but the z400 is just a little bit better.

 

The Z is my choice for more open country, because it has an engine that likes to rev. The EX is my choice for tighter trail riding, because it has an engine that doesn't mind being lugged down.

Both are excellent handling machines. The EX motor will run trouble free forever, and the Z motor is probving to be just as good.

They're all pretty close IMO, all comes down to preference and what kind of brands are sold near you.

The 450R seems to be winning or placing quite high in most races I've been reading about, even the Baja had a number of Honda's finish very high.
