If everyone skipped on buying a new model because of scares regarding reliability, there would be no models returning the following year.

Let's not forget that even the almighty Honda has had numerous recalls and Tech Bulletins on EVERY model that they have introduced in the last 10 years!!! Including the 400EX in it's first year.

 

I encourage all EX owners to buy the Z. There will be a glut of used 400EXs on the market, so I can finally steal one for cheap. Anyone around west CO/east UT want to trade their sport quad for my tough Foreman 450S?
