400ex's run forever, they can take a beating, honda did a great job with that quad

 

I always thought the 400ex was pretty limp. Especially stock. What a dog.

 

bias opinion but, look at the scrambler 400 2x4. They go on ebay for 1,000 to 2,000 dollars, have a wonderfull automatic, very high horse power engine that is EXTREMLY modable! and they will go anywhere!!!!!!!!!! And i dont care what it is if you dont keep up on the maintinance your asking for it to break down. I'm 6'3" 280 and the scrammy is wonderfull, i will never shift gears again, ever.

There isn't anybody here jealous of the outlander!! In fact I could have bought one if I wanted one, If I want to drag race I will ride my DS650X. The sportsman have better features than the other brands and are very reliable. I know about jap quads i have owned pleaty of them, Had to work on them all the time. The people that rides with us that have Honda's are amazed wear these sportsman go. Hell the Honda's don't have any power or storage space and ride rough. and the grizzles are always breaking axles. Ill stick with Polaris when it comes to utility quads. But heck!! Ride what you want dude.

 

Not to mention the outties look hideous. The 800 outy is more sport than utility. And outies have plenty of their own issues with reliability. You NEED a 36 month warranty.

yep

 

I don't care for the Outty 800 & you know that I know a little about them because of the video (Grizz's video) of us riding in the water & mudd with our bud who owns it. I don't like the design of the air box because the intake snorkel drops below the air box, what idiot came up with that design??????? And yes he was following right behind me & my SP800 & he took water into the engine. He has also had it back to the shop 3 times for electrical & clutch problems. I took a couple of rides on it, it's fast as hell & seems nimble for trail use but the ride is no where near as smooth as the SP800. I guess it's all in what you want out of your quad, but like I said, as far as my use and what I do to my SP 800 (3032 trouble free miles-ask Grizz) .................The Outty 800.....Not interested............
