Default first time atv buyer help

I'm trying to figure out which atv would be best for me. I've gotten OTD prices for a: 06 trx450er 5699, 07 predator 500 LE 5699, 07 YFZ 450 6199, 07 LTZ 400 black 5599, 07 trx400 5199. Those are the one's i'm most interested in. I'm mostly going to do dune riding, so any info that u guys have or any advice please feel free to reply

Thanks

In the dunes you want all the power and overrev you can get, plus an ultra light machine! That means the Honda (HRC kit highly recommended) or the Yamaha 450's.

The EX is a great machine. Got mine in 99, and it has been pretty much trouble free all these years (except for a few things that were my own fault).

Most consider it to be a little underpowered for the dunes, but the motor responds very well to a few simple mods....
