Hey guys I currently have a 02' 300ex that I bought last year. Im down at school now and just found a buddy that wants to get rid of his 05' z400 I am a very experienced rider but just dont have the money for really nice bikes but this guy cant afford his payments and wants 2600 dollars for this 05' thats in great shape has a pipe. Is it worth it to sell my 300 and move up or will I not notice that much of a difference between the two.

300ex has a FMF pipe and KN filter thats it

 

WOW!!! My uncle has a 300ex and I have a KFX 400, huge difference. I would make that deal in a heart beat. There is a huge difference not only in engine, but shocks, comfort, size etc. $2,600 is a smoking deal. The only thing I would make sure of is that it only has a pipe on it. I'm weary about modded crap that never runs right.

 

The 300EX (along with its brother the 400EX) is probably the best tight trail quads of all time. They have torquey motors that can be lugged down and ridden slow in the rought stuff, plus its smaller size lets it squeze between the trees a little easier. If you mostly ride very tight trails, a Z would be a step backward.

If you ride a variety of conditions and especially more open country, then the Z would be a good choice.

 

Go with the Z its way way better.. better suspention. wider, ALot better engine! all around better quad

 

Z all the way. Thats a no brainer.

 

I really dont know how you could be riding enough tight trials to make the Z any sort of a step backward from a 300ex. And Zs make excellent trail quads to, and are better in every way you could think of from a 300ex.

 

this is a no comparison question. the Z will out do the 300ex in every aspect besides maybe reliability.
