One of my friends had a Raptor 350 before he traded for a 700. It was a good quad but I guess it wasn't fast enough for him. I don't know anyone who rides a Honda but they're supposed to be good too.

I have the trx 400. Its been the best trail quad I have ever owned. Its light, got lots of torque and fast enough to have fun. Parts are everywhere and cheep. The 400 is bullet proof and when you do have to replace wear parts its easy to work on.

I own a honda 400ex, when I bought it I soon realized it needed a rebuild but only because the previuos owner. In my experiences I have heard very good things about them, and I think they are a blast to ride, like any other quad I think it would be very reliable if maintained properly so I say the honda for all the GOOD things ive heard about them

I would say Their both great Wheelers the 350a been around since 87 and are proven to be very dependable I have a Warrior which is basically a raptor just different plastics overall what ever you chose you'll have a great Wheeler
