Default Honda 400 or Warrior 350 for the wife?

What quad should I get for the wife?? I am going between the Warrior 350 with reveres and the Honda 400EX.
What bike handles better?
What bike has the best overall power?
What bike is more reliable?
What bike is better for the intermediate rider??
I also will buy it used so cost will be minimal.. Best bang for the buck!
PS, we trail ride..

What kind of riding experience does your wife have, and what is her size (no offense)[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] ?

Mud Stud,

The 400EX would be (and was) my choice. Right now Honda, Suzuki and Yamaha are having a price war. I've seen the Raptor going for $5399, the LTZ 400 for $4999 and the 400EX going for $4699. This may or may not affect the used prices around you. It's interesting to note the new Honda 400 EXs are going for less than the new Warriors and 300EXs.

I'd get her Z400, revese liquid cooled, light

Warrior old heavy

400ex air cooler, no reverse

For the Wife that is who is not a pro rider.

I'm a Honda guy though myself, just bought the Predator to fill my boots till Honda releases a new super quad.

My gf get's my ex for now but she can drive and jump with the boy's.

If that be the case he has spent a lot of money on that warrior.

Avoid theWarrior, it's a real clunker (I rode one for years).

I personally wouldn't buy anything without reverse for trail riding. I don't know about the warrior being a clunker, I have seen some guys beat them pretty good and they stood up to it.

I think you would be best off getting her a nice used 400EX.

The 400s can be found pretty cheap.
They are ROCK SOLID reliable, they will stand up to the abuse a wife can dish out.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] (mis shifting... popping into gear without clutch)
Your wife does not need liquid cooling. The 400 is strong, has great suspention, great brakes, one of the most reliable bikes ever,
you really cannot go wrong with one for your wife.


Ive had two 400s. I rode them HARD, and made my 99' a 440, and duned it @ glamis.
Neither of them overheated, ever. not once.

ps. The 400 and the Warrior are in a different class. The 400 is superior in every way. (except a race in reverse[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img])

i bought my girlfreind a 400 ex and she loves it. though the z4oo would have been a good idea only since it has reverse.
