I am 6'2". Am I too big to ride a 400ex? This would be my first atv so I am not sure.
Thanks.

Love honda and personally own a 400ex I think you could get by but if you are not sure look at a DS650 they are alot bigger. Just an idea.

Don't worry the 400ex will fit you fine. I am 6'6 and race one in Hare scrambles, it fits like a glove, one thing you will want to do is get some aftermarket bars with a taller rise. This will keep you from having to bend over so far when you are standing while riding in rough areas.

I am 6'4" and have a 400 ex. It fits pretty good, but face the facts,I wish I could stretch out a little more.I'm going to try a taller seat and some nerf bars with different foot peg locations.

I am 6'6" and that was one of my deciding points for getting me 400EX over the Banshee. The Yamaha made me feel like my knees were jammed up under the handlebars. Way too short for tall guys. But my Y2K 400EX "fits like a glove" to.

I'm 6' 0" 250 pounds and the 400EX fits fine. Before buying it I tried a Warrior which wanted to break my back. I've found that for sport quads its a comparison between the Banshee and 400EX for taller riders.

im 6'5 and I race moto X with mine. I agree with the statement of high rise bars. Mine are Renthal 400EX bend with a custom bend (a crash last year, dont ask lol). It fits me fine and i actually think its better. You feel like you have more control when you lean, now if you acually do, i dont know, but it feels like it!

I agree with everyone. I am 6'6" and have no problem on a 400EX. I ride a friends now and then, and I feel very comfortable.
