CHOOSING A QUAD
#2
The 400ex is by far easier to ride, but lacks the obvious power of the 660. I just traded in my Raptor for a 04 400ex and an 04 Rancher AT for my wife. While I do miss the all out power of the 400ex, i do not miss the mechanical glitches that posed my Raptor. I would never say that the Raptor is a bad quad. I just would say the Honda is more mechanically refined. I ride 95% trails and fireroads. The biggest factor with the Raptor was the ill handling characteristics. I solved this by using wheel spacers and a lowering kit for the rear. The allowed the quad to slide out much better than stock. I would say I would basically come down to price. If you can get the Raptor cheap, I would go with that. I do not think there is a better trail quad. However, the 400ex's are dropping in price and you may be able to get one of those cheaper than what you think.
