What kind of riding will you be doing?

Raptors are nose heavy, the 300ex is a nice little quad, the 400 is a step up, a whole lot bigger (longer). The 1st thing i noticed was i have to stoop forward or stand up to have good control of the 400ex, the bend in the seat is something i personallly don't like. If this is your 1st quad it'd be worth looking at the 250ex, or possibally blaster... The blaster may be a bit cramped for you, but there are a lot of cheap mods you can do for a bigger feeling... (slide the rear plastics back, shave them, widen it out......)

But you can't go wrong with a honda.... I'm thinking a well maintained 300ex.....
