I am looking to buy my first ATV but want something that I wont grow out of,can you tell me what I should buy? Is reverse a major part of my decision? Are any of these better than the others?
Can an automatic driving person get used to a manual on these ATV's?
Thanx!!

 

go with the Honda 400ex it will last longer than a Banshee

 

Banshee has the speed, the 400ex has the agility, the Lakota is not even close to the same level. Take your pick, if you ride alot of open fields and such get the Shee, for woods and fast trail riding the 400ex can't be beat. Reverse is not evean an issue, if it is, you should be looking at the Warrior or 300ex.

As for the clutch thing, it does not take that long to get used to. If you can't, Polaris makes a full line of auto's that can keep up with the 400ex, and even have cool looking 4x4's, so I would keep them in mind. Imagine an auto sport bike that keeps up with the 400ex, plus you have 4x4!

 

Thank you so much for clarifying all the info I asked about. It is great to know that people like you do take the time to help out newbies like me with questions. I will look into the other ones as well but I do like the 400ex so far....

Much appreciated!
