400ex too much for a chick?
My girl rides my modded 440 just fine, they just got to have some time on them is all. If I get a 450 I am going to keep the 440 for her.
Just a suggestion, but if u like 2 strokes, get a banshee and give her the blaster. Banshees are some serious hill shooters.

I have been considering a banshee for myself but she seems more into the 4-stroke.
DeuceRooster, I wouldnt be saving any money I would only be spending more. See would get bored of the 300 real quick. I think a 400 will be alright because it defently has potential to be faster if she thinks she needs it in the future.

Something not brought up is her physical size. If she's 5'0" and barely weighs 90lbs, she may have a harder time on the 400ex. If she's 5'8" or more, she'll fit it much better. Something to think about. Big difference between a Blaster and the 400ex physically, forget the power.

I hope when you ask if a 400ex is too much for a chick your not gendertyping? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Chicks can handle speed, and sometime prefer it [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
If she is into riding and wants to be able to keep up, then yes a 400 would be perfect. I sometimes ride a modded 416 and though its no banshee, it has enough power that I feel I can keep up with the pack.

no i dont mean to gendertype.
shes about 5'7 115pds
She defently needs/wants somthing to keep up witheveryone on the hills and in the trails. Alot of the bikes around here are banshees,z400,blasters,KX,YZ,CR so there are some pretty fast bikes around here.
I think the 400ex will do here jsut fine, i'll pipe it out and other stuff later as she feels she needs it.
thanks for the help guys
