Hey guys,
I currently ride an '84 Honda 200ES...Well its a great trike and has lots of power but because of where I live and the really steep terrain and slopes it can be dangerous at times, and will roll over (like yesterday...lol). I need to get a fourwheeler for 2 reasons: More power, and Greater stability. I am looking into the mid sized sport quads like the Warrior, 300EX, Mojave, Etc. And i'm just wondering wich of those 3 have the best: reliability record, handling, most "modifiable", most fun to ride, and the best bang for the buck. I'm just gathering the pros and cons of these quads and then I will make my decition. I would appreciate any help, thanks.

get a 400EX..... it's not a power monster like a Raptor, but it is quick, and an excellent trail bike

and mostly what you are looking for, it is probably STILL the best handling quad out there....


I still say.... there is NO quad that is faster, more reliable, more economical, AND better handling than a 400EX.... no other quad can beat the EX in ALL of those catagory's....... I think it's the best bang for the buck.... especially since now, most dealers have dropped the price lower than the Z

 

I agree that the 400ex is a great quad, but its alittle out of my price range. And doesn't have reverse...Thats a neccesity for where I ride. If I was going to spend around 4-5 grand on a new quad I would probly buy a z400 or something like that. If only the 400ex had reverse...I don't know what honda was thinking by not adding it, I know High Pref. racing quads don't usualy have reverse but still, do they think they were JUST selling to racers? Plus, if they went as far as to not having a reverse gear in it I believe they should have gone a little further and added a few more things to send it to the top in High Pref. quads...Just my .02 cents. See ya

 

If you are doing the steep hillclimbs then i would get a warrior. It has plenty of power and has the longest swingarm(prevents flipping) and is really wide for more stability. The reverse is also a pretty good design. Much better than my quad's reverse.
