so this morning i went to the bank paid off my 400ex loan, and headed to the honda dealer to talk some figures. while i was driving there i suddenly realized that the 400ex was MINE, all paid for. so i continued to the honda dealer, while i was in there i asked them about trading my 2001 polaris trailblazer 250. they said they would take it in for trade. so i thought to my self that hmmm... they have a 2007 honda rancher 420 foot shift. so i went and got my 250 TB, and $4049 OTD i had a 2007 honda rancher 420 foot shift. honestly i couldnt be happier with the 4-wheel drive. the rancher suits the trails where i live so much better than a 450r would have. i agree with scooter86 that trail riding can only be done so fast, and well when i ride with a bunch of 300ex's im already faster than they are. so thank you everyone for your imput on my topic, and i realize that i totally went the other way with my purchase, but that rancher is awesome!!! thanks again

 

Excellent. Enjoy the Rancher

 

The EX/Rancher should be a good combination! The EX will be more fun on the non-technical stuff, and the Rancher will take you anywhere the EX can't go!
