And keep in mind we are not talking about Honda as a whole, just a few Honda and Suzuki units here. Everything I own, I own because I feel it is the best machine for the purpose I bought it for. I can go on all day on why I love each machine I have in my stable, including the 400ex. Im just trying to keep other people from taking in false info.

Forgive Mo26, its an old people issue.
One thing though when I went to the local Honda dealer the other day I was shocked at all the new 04 model 400ex's sitting around and many were still stacked in there crates.
400ex would be good for old people because it wouldn't jerk there teeth around or maybe even out because of the less power.

What irritates me is!
Those 6-packs work pretty good.

If you buy the EX, you'll love your EX. If you buy a Z, you'll love your Z. Pretty much sums it up, doesn't it? Suspension, ergonomics and handling are all pretty subjective. And not everybody races. Been my experience there isn't enough difference in power to make up for the riders ability or lack thereof.
With that said, given equal pricing I'd personally buy....neither. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

If you have seen me in other posts I always praise the 300ex and 400ex, they are a great reliable machine for trail riders. I am simply saying the accusations being thrown at the Z400 is foolish. So how is that a disgrace to Honda? Please explain.

So how far along are you on that atc500r? CR500 motor?

As for the ATC500R its coming along slowly, using the cr500 frame, 400ex/cr500 hybrid swingarm, and most of the 250r parts in the front end. Should be nice when done. Thinkin about starting another little project, dropping the old school "Polanda" engine into the atc250r frame which should be an interesting drag machine.

The Polanda engine is actually a Polaris 400 top end mated to the Honda 250R bottom end. Its a pretty nice fit when finished and I have heard from different people that when running a decent intake, exhaust, port and polish the engine is capable of producing 60-70+ HP on pump gas. I just posted a pic of the engine on my picture page but I guess its gonna take a few minutes to get approved or whatever.
