IMHO, i think you would be happier with the 400ex than any other quads mentioned...

 

I'm having the same deal as BaltimoreBrit....deciding on which 1 to buy.....the 300 for me would seem more practical...i mean i can still ride the wheelies, do the hills and trailriding in the woods...which i would enjoy the reverse...but i think i would like the extra power of the 400 to play with, but do they handle as well in the woods when you just want to trail ride up hills and what not? But you can always put mods on the 300 too to get some extra power....

 

if u want low end the 300ex has a lot more over the warrior and the raptor 350 but id get the 400ex if i was u because it has more low end than all of the others even more than the z400 and it is a smooth machine

 

So I finally made my decision, and Im very pleased with the outcome. I took back the LTZ250 hairdryer thing and went for the 300ex, which is a great impreovement. You get a decent ride, a good enough thrill, nice price and reverse. It's nice looking too. I must admit that the reverse is a pain, especially when cold. I think I will be happy with the 300ex for a good while. If the 400ex is a good deal more powerful, i would prob not really use it that often. Thanks to all who recommended the 300ex
