I have a 2001 300EX rigth now and are looking to trade to a 400EX for more power, suspension, looks and all that kind of stuff. What's the top speed of your 400EX and how do they compare to the 300EX in power, handling, suspension action. THANKS

2001 300EX
Nedd a little more POWER!!!

 

A 400EX feels very much like a 300EX only faster and more stable. Much easier to powerslide.

 

It rocks. I've owned a banshee before I got a 400 and let me tell ya it's like night and day. You really notice how out dated the banshee really is. It handles alot better and doesn't turn like a tank. It's light and nible even if you have to turn it around it's lighter. I got it buried in a mud puddle when I got it and I lifted the whole front end almost straight up and manuvered the back wheels out of the mud. I coildn't even lift the front end of the banshee. All in all do it you will not regret it. Honda out did themselves here!

 

I love my 400EX.... wont trade it for anything. Puts a smile on my face everytime we ride... Upgrade to the 400EX, you wont be sorry!

My 400EX is awesome. I have a 2001, too (although they haven't changed much over the last couple of years), and it's a great bike. It's nimble and quick, and it holds it's own among more powerful machines like the Raptor. My husband has a Raptor, and he and I ride together all the time, and the only time he can outrun me is on a long straight stretch, and even then it's not by much. What it lacks for in huge power it more than makes up for in supension, handling, and quickness. The only thing I have heard anyone complain about is the seat. I have a friend who says it hurts his rear, and I told him it wasn't meant to be sat on that much! You can also get many aftermarket mods for it that will make it more than competitive with anything out there! You definately won't regret getting one!

Its rides better than anybike and I've riden them all; Warrior, Banshee, 300ex, DS650, Trailblazer, Scrambler, and Raptor soon. It does leave you wanting to upgrade in the power department after a while though but no problem there since everybody sales aftermarket parts for the 400ex.

 

Its geared alot higher than the 300ex ... It wheelies alot easier and sometime.. when u don't want it to... I find it hard to gun it out of corners sometimes because of the light front end. They acclerate alot faster than the 300ex.

 

I own both, the 300 is my wife's bike. There is no comparison. The 400 is faster, handles better, jumps higher, and is much, much more forgiving than the 300. It has the ponies to power your way out of mistakes, where you'd have to grit your teeth, hang on, and hope for the best on the 300. It's still too slow for open fire roads or the sand, but on an MX track or a steep winding trail, it's awesome.
