I'm sure this question was asked multiple times but I was just wondering which fourwheeler would be best for me. I own a yamaha warrior 350 and it just doesn't have enough power for me. The people I ride with have a predator 500 and the other has a 450r. I'm looking for something that can keep up it doesn't matter to me if I can pass them or anything just so I'm not to far behind. I ride a lot of trails and open fields plus do some jumping. I was looking at the 400ex and the 450r or if anyone knows anything that'd be better for me. Thanks for the help

 

400ex will be a more dependable- less maintainance quad- it will keep up with them in the woods-
but wide open areas- they will leave you.

450r is a good bike- more suited for jumping stuff- more get up and go when you need it. Does great in the woods but they say the power comes fast so it involves more gear changing.

Trails- 400ex win
Feilds- 450r win
Jumps- 450r win

 

Your warrior will keep up if you had shocks.
I'd still get a Honda tho....and shocks.
I rode my buddies 450R. It handles the woods just fine. You can stay in 3rd for almost anything.
I went for a ride w/my 300ex. All the guys that didn't know me was bummed. "We'll be waiting for him all day" I heard. I stayed ahead of a 400ex on my 300ex. Course the 300 didn't have a sissy on it.<EG>
Nobody waited for me. So it's not all about cc's, it's about suspension.

 

400 ex all the way, I have owned 450r and ds 650 in the past, the best quad for trails is the 400ex hands down!

 

450r shocks arnt horrible, 400ex guys run them as upgrades

 

400ex is the best all around quad. The 450r is at best on the track however.

 

i have a 400ex and it has greay power and ride trails nice and my buddy had a 450 kick start model ran good but also ran hot had to stop alot to cool down idk if their all like that but, i prefer a 400ex then a 450 for trails.
