What is so special about a 400 EX engine that makes everyone like it? It isn't that powerful compared to other 400 engines in dirt bikes. In fact, it is the least powerful.

I don't think very many people love the engine. Mainly the handling and suspension, I don't own one but I've ridden many, along with other quads and it's nothing special at all

The only thing about it was it had really good mid-range. it felt too tall

Well dirtbikes...of course.

You have to have 2 times as much power on an ATV to go as fast as a dirtbike. so a 400 atv would equal a 200 dirtbike.
So the 400 EX is a good quad. you need some learning to do.

Do I really "need some learning to do"? Engines produce the same HP in dirt bikes and ATV's, the difference is that an ATV weighs 150+ pounds more than a dirt bike. Maybe you "need some learning to do".
