That depends on what you call a bunch of cash. New 400EX you can pick up pretty cheap around $5,000 and you can get a referbised cannibal for $5,000, with water cooling, better shocks, more power, on and on. I traded my 400EX for a speed and am much happier with it. Handleing is same, IMHO, power is better, trottle response is better, shocks are better, aluminum frame when polished looks better( the 400ex frame was rusting in places that they didn't paint. Ride both and let your butt be the judge.

heres the deal...if your a casual rider that also likes to just finish his day of riding by parking your quad in the corner of the garage and not messing with it until you need it again...get the honda
but.......if your an agressive rider,love roosting your buddys,enjoy the challenge of a quad with a learning curve,enjoy spending time in the garage with your tools and a cold beer...get the "C"

How come I never get to enjoy workin on my quad w/ a cold beer??? Well, then again, some how I shocked the **** out of myself when I was sober... it's just scary to think about what I would do if I wasn't sober. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
