Another 4-stroke sport quad shootout between the 4 big hitters. Polaris Scrambler 500 2wd, Bombardier DS650, Yamaha 660R Raptor and of course Hondas 400EX. When it was all said and done, the 400EX came out on top. Not the fastest of the bunch, but in their words, "None of these higher powered machines can match the 400EX's all around handling finesse". Something aint it?

The only reason a 400ex came out on top is because they couldn't find anyone brave enough to test the Blaster with all of those weak 4 stroke quads!!!!!!

I know man, everytime I get off of my 400ex and onto my Blaster, I about crap myself! Those things will pull your arms out of the socket! Not to mention how you almost get thrown over the bars everytime you tap the breaks!

LOL
Seriously now, am i the only one who is getting sick and tired of seeing the same raptor vs 400ex vs bombardier test over and over and over and over and over again?!?!?!?!???!!?!?!
I love the 400ex, and would love to own one, same goes for the other two big thumpers but how many times are these magazines going to do that test?
Personally i'd like to see more of what 4-wheel atv action did this month with the dyno testing. They should do that more with other quads, its sick to see what mods and tricks work and what doesnt.
For the love of god, pleeeeeaaaasssse dont do another "big three" test...LOL
