ok, im in a bind. i havnet ridden since 1993. i did take a quick test run on a raptor 660 and damn, that was a nice ride. im looking to buy 2 quads for general trail rideing, some sand rideing too. im torn between a yamaha 660 raptor, a bombardier 650 x, the suzuki z400, the kawisaki KFX700, preditor 500 or maybe a honda. for sure its gotta be a 4 stroke tho. any suggestions?
Get the pred and the ds650 X, dont even waste your money on the z400 or craptor.

You must have a really hard time keeping up with Raptor's the way you talk down about them.

Both the Raptor and Z400 are better then a EX so what are you talking about 420EX. You Ride a EX that would get destroyed by a Raptor or Z400.

What a fag making that correction about the yfz....you remind me of my old, stinky, annoying english teacher from High School....thanks for the memories...Anyway you just have to decide what you are doing because each quad has their niche

ds650-fastest top end, bigger quad, good for hill climbing, dunes, open fields

raptor660- 2nd fastest top end, tippy, good for going fast, not noted for great trail riding, good in dunes

pred 500- next fastest top end, great handling, good suspension, good power, no reverse, fairly new

kfx700- quick, big quad, automatic tranny, looks fun, never rode it, slower top end than previous 3

z400- slower than all four here, just a good bike overall for everything, if it had a specialty would b trail

honda400- pretty much the same as the z, but not as many features

Just don't get the 400ex. Comparatively it doesn't compare to ANY of those quads. Replace it in the comparison with a Z400. And what about a DS 650?

Of course the 400ex compares w/ those quads listed...The design of the ex is nothing short of genius...It has to be the best stunt quad ever made...its a great toy..

The z400 is a great bike, quicker, w/ reverse, but it's design isn't as good as the 400ex.. and plus...at the end of the day, you're riding a suzuki [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] honda reliability will never fail you

if the yfz 450 is comfortable ....get it [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

if not, then look at a larger atv like ds or raptor

Raptor, yzf450, or a 400ex. What do u think????

Raptor= Fastest quad
YFZ= Best all around
400EX = average quad

clover gave awful good advice, you also might consider if you are going stock or mod the banshee riding racers in many areas are losing there class I just bought a 90+h.p. banshee for 3000.00 for a stock bike the yfz might be prove to be the wave of the future however my son just outran one on a straight road (rider skill not a big factor) on a polaris 400 it is pretty salty bike parts wise but still a heavy polaris almost any bike these days can be tailored to your specific riding applications therefore you might be ahead to make your decision based on $$$$ and make mods to suit as you go
