50 mph sounds a little on the lowside my honda recon will do that!

Other wise the 450r winds out at about 70mph and there is no way honda had to worry about the 400ex keeping up with the 450r.</end quote></div>

eh i dono about them not having to worry. when Honda only had a 400ex as their top bike they were quick for there time. up in the 60's mph. but now since honda and everyone else has their 450's as their top performance bikes, Honda is slowing the 400ex down a tiny bit to make their be a big enough difference between the 400 and 450. they want a gap between performance so the customer doesn't just choose the cheaper bike.

the two quads are completely different in terms of power and performance.
the 400ex is better for trails and being lugged down but the 450r makes its power way up high in the rpm range. lets just not compare these two bikes

yes your completely right. the 400 is great on the trails and the 450 is perfect for the track. i was just tryin to say that honda changed the 400ex to turn it into more of a trail bike instead of a fast and lot of top end high reving power bike like the 450. they want two different bikes. not two similar ones.

 

yea they are completely different quads

 

Well I've determine that gps magellan is a POS!

Rode with my cousin and his 01 rancher es....I said ok let's hit this back road and we'll wind them out and u see how fast yours does top speed and I'll see if I can pass you and have more to give.....

well he was doing well over 50 he said 55ish bc the road wasn't 100% pure flat but pretty flat so that had a little to play into it.

well I rode with him as he was wound out and gave him a byby wave and let the rest go on mine and pulled off from him easy....

thats all I can say right now until I have a better way to clock it.....his speedo should be correct tho his is all stock even the tires are what came on it he never rides it..

 

My 400 with a pipe, jetted and dropping 2 teeth on the rear hit 67 on a paved road and the rev limit kicked in. That was the start of my modding haha

 

ye u need 2 do sum more stuff with your 4-wheeler

 

You need to take that GPS and put it in your truck and drive at 50mph and see if it shows the same. If it does then I would say its correct.

 

I have a 02 400ex, the only mod its got is a cobra slip on exhaust and I had mine going 65mph on pavement according to my Eagle hand-held GPS. I weigh about 165lbs...

 

To heck with going anywhere near 70 on any trail I ride on in SOuthern Ga. I have to be at work on Monday and cant affort to flip a fourwheeler on the weekend man. You guys got energy drink in your veins!
