Ok guys I have a 400ex right now and was thinking of how I never raced or anything, I should just sell it and get a utility! I ride trails and would like something that is very hard to tip over, sideways or backwards. I live in Alabama and there is a lot of very steep hills, so I don't want to tip it over. I'm 13, but can handle everything. I've driven every fourwheeler known to man, so I can handle anything. What would be best for my style? And yes, price is a major issue and I don't mind buying used. Any transmission is fine, I'm used to em all from clutch driven to ES. So, what do you guys think? BTW The bigger the better it just has to be within a reasonable price. I would prefer 4x4

 

You can tip any ATV. Better chance of tipping a heavy 4x4 vs a sport bike like your 400EX.

Since you are 13, I'd look around for one of the mid-sized 4x4's - Honda Rancher 350/420, Artic Cat 366 - basically something inthe 350 to 400cc range should give you all the power you need with a lower weight that makes it easier to handle (and harder to tip over).
