It always was chain drive, had a real clutch, and disk brakes....as did the 250X which came before it. I was probably riding one of these before you were born....

 

i said EX not x and you cant say i aint right cuz i got a honda 250ex 2006(itts shaft driven) and the 300ex hasent always had a clutch in fact thats why i didnt get one instead uf my 250ex but im passin my 250 to my brother and gettin a LT-R450 cuz the 250 ex isa trail bike and im startin MX

 

You are nuts if you are trying to say the 300EX hasn't always had a clutch......

The 300EX is a bored out 250X with electric start, and the EX has been around a dozen years and the X many years before that.

 

look i was looking at every honda on the market and the 2006 300ex was auto cluch 5 speed....and the 250ex has the sports clutch were you can practiley shift when you want

 

No way dude! Have you actually ever ridden one??? Actually ride one, or at least go down to a dealer and look at one...ok. There is enough misinformation around, that you don't need to be spreading nonsense on basic stuff like technical info.

 

actually this is were i got my info from was a dealer have you looked at 300ex 2006 in person??? cuz i sure did i even sat on one right next to the 250ex which i chose over the 300ex now i know the 07 08 are reg clutch....i might not be right the 06 might have reg clutch sorry man...but i wasnt real smart on atvs at the time cuz i just came off dirtbikes but what ever man i geuss your right im also deaf so i might have got wrong info

 

Yes.... Your best bet is a 400cc. The 400ex is more outdated but very reliable.... it's a honda. Though, stock, the suzuki z400/kfx400/dvx400, has more power and is faster. These are very reliable atvs too. Stay away from the '03 models. If you want to do a good bit of jumping but not too extreme, go with an '05 or newer. The reason they have more power than the 400ex is because obviously technology has advanced. The 400ex has remained unchanged until recently (new plastic). You can't go wrong either way though. I'm just saying you might wish you would have bought a z400 later. They all have endless mods though. They've all been out long enough that you can do virtually anything to them. Hope this helps.

 

mathias is right but a kfx is kinda harder to find then the z and dvx due to the stop in making them but you as we all know the dvx and kfx are the exact same (except for the plastics) bike as the z but the z is the original so yeah you cant go wrong unless you go buy a beeater
