Im getting old, cant handle the sport suspension. Now I ride like you Moose. Just last week I was yelling "slow down" to some hooligan turtles on the trail.

 

Thanx again.

I am going to look for some 400ex's but one downside is no reverse

 

I think it was 05 they started putting reverse in. At first it does suck but you will get use to it. You can whip them right around on a 5' wide trail, no problem.

 

This, it has proven itself to me long ago. Simplicity is what gets the job done, if you like riding without having to do a bunch of maintenance, go with a 400EX. I picked up the July 2013 issue of Dirtwheels magazine and they did a article on the 400 titled "Honda's Crocodile Sport Quad" and went on to explain the reason why the 400EX is now the longest running production full size sport quad and basically how bulletproof reliable and user friendly it is. Just my 2 cents, good luck with whatever you go with!

 

i have a polaris 500 and as far as suspension and handeling i dont think i could have done any better!!! i definatly wouldnt trade for a 400 or smaller anything

 

bought a z400 last week, first quad so I cant compare to others but I like it so far. lots of power, handles or seems to handle nice ect.
