just buy a used banshee and then you can do a ton of mods and still be prety fast stock

 

When i looked for a quad i looked at the 400EX and the Z400 and i didn't really like the way the Z400 felt when i sat on it so i went with the 400EX and i really don't have any complaints at all. I like to ride trails and the EX has more than enough to throw you back on the trails.

 

heres my opinion are u going to be trail riding on like tite trails and if u come to a dead end wut r u gonna do wen u have a 400ex no reverse u gotta get off the dang quad and throw it around while the z/kfx/dvx all have reverse extra thing to also think about but thats just my opinion and im looking into buying a quad also but i wanan get new i dont want somes used beat up thing and i like the orange kfx cuz no one i no has one all green and then 2 zs one white one yellow and 3 people with dvxs one green and the other 2 blak and red

 

i prefer the 400ex then the other ones. And the 2005's have reverse...

 

ya the 05s have reverse but not the older and used ones

 

Thats not the way to think. It'd be like, im going to buy an escort, but i might as well make it a mustang, hell, make it a BMW, then a Skyline. Get what you need and can afford. Id get one of the Newer 400's.

 

like they said, the Z400/KFX/DVX are the nicest, fastest 400s out there.

 

Exactly. The Z/DVX/KFX400 are the fastest stock. Anything can be made fast. If you want best bang for your buck with aftermarket parts, get a used EX and mod it. The others will always have more potential though.

 

Great point, with enough time and money you can make any machine great. But why not get a head start for the same price and by a kfx orZ

 

well i have a 04 yfz450, 01400ex , 91 and 87 warrior and a 04z400 . out of the 2 400s the z400 is slightly faster but of cours the yfz smokes them all in every way. but when it comes down to it out of the 2 400s i always end up riding the honda even thou it doesnt have reverse but the feel of it is better than the z and also its the most dependable quad ever. in this case really in the 400s its not what bike its more like the rider . yea u might be able to hop on a street and race a 400ex and beat him by little but when u hop in some wooded trails or track its the rider not the bike . there all good quads no matter which 400 u get u really cant lose . just my 2 cents
