Default Help Me choose A new Atv

Hey everyone im new here and was wondering what quad I should buy. I have been riding my dads quad ALOT latley (4x4 big bear) and on a hill climb I hit a rock and the battery came out and busted and leaking. He says I need a toy of my own. Ive been looking into 400ex's alot and wondering if there were other worthy candidates to speak of. (age 14)

Thx db Inc

Excellent machine! Dead solid reliable and great handling. Just be sure you have enough size and weight to handle a full size bike. If not, take a look at the 300EX or 250EX.

I dont own any of the three but i plan to buy the Z400. I know that the Z400 and KFX400 both have liquid cooling while the 400 ex has air cooling. Therefore the Z400 and KFX have alittle more power over the 400ex. Between the Z400 and KFX400 they are pritty much the same exact machine even same type of headlights (vertically stacked).
