what kind of riding do you do?

i was thinking of getting a shee over my 400ex but i just could justify it unless i like lived out in the dunes and that's all the riding i would be doing.

for just screwin around the 300ex, 400ex, or z400 are good.

i've got a 400ex and i can ride trails, dunes, screw around, stunt, whatever. very multipurpose machine.

definitely the 450r. if you just want to drag race and play in the dunes then the shee would be a good choice too. but if you want to jump and take corners go with the 450r

The Shee has a very sexy motor, but that frame is a dinosaur! The R does well everywhere, except slow technical trails. Ironically, the Shee is terrible at technical trails also.

The best all-around machine there is? The Z400!
