ok so id like to get a 400ex.. BUT im only 16 and dont make much moolaa.. so i was thinking around 2k to spend
which would be better the warrior or 300ex. im a big guy 6ft 190lbs.. the 300ex is shorter,less gc then my recon now.

I was riding a Warrior before you were born, and it was absolutely the worst quad I ever owned! The quality is fine and the engine is bulletproof, but Yamaha just didn't have its design act together on this one and the frame, handling, rear suspension, and ergonomics are just not very good at all!
I also owned a 300EX, and it is a way better machine than the Warrior ever hoped to be, but a 6' rider may feel cramped on one.
You should be able to find a descent 400EX for $2K....

Well, I am not going to bang on the 300EX and Warrior.
Both are proven quads from the test of time.
Since what honestly?.... 1987?
I know the EX is practically the same as my old 87 250X.
I had the 250X and a 300EX and a Warrior 350 that I took to the point of "built to the gills" because I refused to buy a 400EX at the time.
The Warrior is roomier, is faster in a straight line, has a 6 speed trans, and the reverse is easier than the older 300EX's.
The 300EX has the warrior in certain aspects of handling and it seems easier to toss around.... and they made these REALLY NICE when they finally did a plastic change.
Great choice for tight technical woods... maybe even the BEST choice.
Both are super reliable and tough as nails.
The 400's like the 400EX and Z400 are a bit nicer though. More power, more room, more aftermarket support.... and more power. But I would suggest '05 or newer on the 400EX for the reverse.
Be patient and look around. The economy is not great. You'll likely find a 400cc in your price range that is in good shape... and if you don't, you'll save the extra while looking.
