Ok, i have read, and re-read every 400ex vs. 300ex fourum in this web site. Alot of the 400ex riders always tell the 300ex owners, to trade their quad and just buy a 400ex. But what if we DO NOT want to trade? what if we like our "LITTLE" 300ex? You all talk about how the 400ex is a better motocrosser, or a better "drag race" machine. But what about the 300ex's? What about us owners that like to ride in the woods, and go faster on our "little" 300ex's than some of you guys on here can on your "BIG" 400ex's. All i have to say, is that, if you are going to dog the 300ex, than at least give credit where credit is due.

95' 300ex with: Suppertrappe pipe and silencer, Baja skid plates, Handlebars, remounted key switch (left side of gas tank), K&N air filter w/ drilled lid, XCT holeshot tires mounted on .190 douglas rims, Trail Porting, 3 angle valve job, Complete gasket set, Varsha clutch kit, bore 10cc over, High Proformance Weisco Piston, Dg nerf bars, and bumper. WOODS WARRIOR!!!!

sorry man, i tell you guys to respect the 300ex, and i should be doing the same w/ the 400, i think it is a GREAT MACHINE. the best...maybe EVER. Great machine, i just think the 300ex needs more credit.

 

I think if honda wants to stay competitive there gonna have to do something with the "air cooled" motor in the 400ex its more of a sport quad than a high performance, but with the 300ex the air cooled motor is fine for a 300cc and it puts out great power for a "little 300". Really i think the 400ex was a waste because honda is better off coming out with a liquid cooled xr650r motor.

 

the 300ex and the 250x are great little machines.
i have a 250x that i beat a 400ex on last week in milton fl. at the motorcross track. at times it's just rider experience not the machine...my 250x has a pipe and jet kit but that's all. Don't under-estimate the 250x or the 300ex they can beat a 400ex
