I say forget anbout the honda, its not gonna be out for a long time most likely. We should all be talking about kawasaki and suzuki and bombardier. The new suzuki, kawasaki's 650 and bombardier is said to be up to something a little smaller. Honda is outdated, just like yamaha. Just my .02 cents.

If you ask me, all of the manufacturers are outdated except Cannondale.

 

Last week when i got home from school there was a honda mag on my door step. It was about the new high performace 70cc shaft driven monster! drum brakes , electric start , 3.4 inchs of suspention travel front and rear , high compretion piston! im tradin' my 400ex for one of those babys.

 

stick with 3 wheelrs. 350x

 

you said it, I paid 500 bucks for my 250r and It will eat any atv that honda has put out in the last 10 years

91 TRX350X
85 ATC250R
86 ATC200X
94 CR80

 

Maybe in a strait line drag race.....but when it comes to actual riding with turns and jumps and crap I think a 400EX would waste you.

 

Actually, I went to a gravel pit with some guy riding a 400EX, we set up a course, and I was beating him the whole time! He was a pretty good rider, but I think I was a little bit better rider. Also, having more power helps alot in the straights.

 

On a trike, its the rider that makes the difference, not the bike. A three wheeler can powerslide around a turn just as good as a quad, it just takes more *****.

 

Krabill you are 100% correct! I can actually take corners faster now on my trike then I ever did on my Mojave, just because riding a trike has made me ride more "fearlessly", and learned to leeeeeeeeeaaaaaann into the corners more(more like, hang off the bike!)
