My dad asked me if i wanted to trade my 400ex in on the new raptor. I said no. I like my 400ex.

(1). It is nice and wide.
(2). It has awsome handling
(3). Has enough power as i need
(4). I like Red
(5). It is as smooth as glass
(6). I already know that it does not have any problems
(7). I like Honda
(8). I don't live near a dune so i don't need a dune cruser
(9). I don't like bugs
(10). Dinasors didn't last did they. They got hit from roost from outer space and poof gone. Just like what the ds will do the the raptor.

raptors won't come out for awhile, and i feel that 397 cc's in a dual over head cam, with a K&N filter and stage 2 dynojetkit is enough power for a 15 year old (me). later



peace man

Good choice. Ride what runs and ride what you like! If you ever think about trading in the EX the Cannondale would be my only choise. I think that Honda and Cannondale are going to be great competition in the future!

RIDE RED

He is not rich at all. It is just that we just got our 400ex and we will be paying for it for 5 years. Payments for the raptor would not be to much more

THINK ABOUT THIS FOR A MINUTE THE XR650R MOTOR IN THE 400 FRAME IT WOULD PROBABLY BE ACTUALLY LIGHTER THAN THE RAPTOR AND THE WIDTH WOULD BE ALMOST PERFECT SO IT WOULD HANDLE GREAT JUST THE WAY IT IS COMPARED TO THE RAPTOR. I WOULD HAVE TO SAY IT WOULD KICK SOME TAIL ON THE DS AND THE RAPTOR.
