I would get the 400ex becuase i think their built better and faster. I had a friend with a scrambler and he had lots of problems with it.

Stock vs Stock I do not know.I have never had any thing major wrong with my Sport400L(2wd Scrambler).I did just have to rebuild the engine,but that is because I did not secure the airbox to the carb and i melted the piston.I ride with and of course race 400exs eveyweekend.Handling is hands down 400ex all the way.In dirt and sand drags I stomp 400exs on a regular basis.The big 2 stroke is very responsive to upgrades.It comes down to which is more important;Light wieght and ease of handling,or a awesome white knuckle straight line runner.Either way you will enjoy.

Get a Honda and eveybody loves you,get a polaris and the bashing begins.

What type of riding do you do? I have an EX now and I had a Scrambler up until this spring. To say which is better depends on how you will ride it. Let me know and I will give you my opinion.

To my knowledge i would say the 400ex. THe machines both are well built but honda is still honda and polaris hasn't proved to me yet that they make a high performance big selling sport quad.

The only knock I have against the scrambler is that it is very heavy, so it doesn't fly very well. The auto clutch works for some people and doesn't for others. I prefer a manual clutch but don't mind riding our trailblazer either. If you do any jumping at all you will be much happier with the ex. You can probably get a good deal on one now too.

I recently switched from a Polaris Sport to a Honda 400EX. I never had a single problem with the Sport, but I am much happier with the EX. You can't even begin to compare the differences in handling. If you are going to spend all of your time riding in a straight line, and want to get there maybe a half of a quad length faster, get the Scrambler. If you plan on making one or more turns while riding, get the EX, hands down.
