Default TRX450R ,TRX400EX or Raptor700

Im going to buy another quad and im having trouble choosing. Which of these quads would be better as far as reliability, speed, mods, racing and trails? I want to be in the same class as the Banshee and still be able to beat one. Or would a Banshee just be a better choice? Thanks for the input.

I like the R for open desert and fast more open desert trails. Best handling machine I have ever ridden!!! Its engine likes to be ridden reved out, so I don't take it on really tight trails...to much clutch work required so it gets old fast.

I like the EX for tight woods trails. It has an engine that will lug down in the semi-technical stuff, but it is down on power by modern standards. Highest quality, most trouble-free machine I ever have owned!

Z400 or Raptor for all around riding. I personally don't like the Roptor's ergonomics, and find it a bit top heavy and narrow (but way better than the Raptor 660 ever was).

Get the Raptor 700. Its EFI, tons of power and is good for trail riding. I rode one the other day and i loved it, power doesnt really drop off in 5th gear like my dvx, it just keeps on pullinnnn haha

Trx450R has no reverse... other then that it would be my main choice for everything!

second choice is even for Z400/Raptor

third would be a Outlaw 525!!!!
