I definitely want the red one - just like my 250EX. Plus all my gear is already red/black. My stepson has the yellow 250EX - don't care for that color as much.

I've heard some say the 400EX isn't as "fast" as some of the other quads, but that's fine with me - I'm too small to need anything too crazy. I'm more interested in handling, dependability and comfort. I'm sure when my son comes home on leave this summer, he'll enjoy riding it too, although he normally prefers 2-strokes and 2-wheels. After riding our quads when he was home over Christmas, now he wants to get a Banshee when he gets out of the Navy. With him, it's all about crazy. Ah, my nerves!
