I want to get a new quad by sometime next month and was wondering what would be the best for me im looking for something 4500 or less ill be doing mainly trail riding and i want something thats fast but can handle a pretty good jump ive found a few used 2000 400 ex's and have been doing some reading and it seems to be the quad im leaning toward but if theres something else out there better please let me know.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] also how does it perform power wise i want something decently fast will i be satisfied ive never rode one

 

My first quad was a 400EX. It's a great machine, very user friendly. It'll have you feeling like a pro in no time. Many EX riders do out grow their bikes after a few months, though. Raptor's, Banshee's, & DS's all have more power, but are not nearly as easy to learn on.

 

how does it compare to the warrior and how expensive is aftermarket parts

 

Riding a 400EX is like hitting a hardball on the sweat spot of the bat, while riding a Warrior is like surfing with a waterlogged tellephone pole.

The best way to get a feel for prices on after market parts is to pick up one of the quad magazines (Dirtwheels, 4Wheel ATV Action, etc.) and check out some of the parts distibuters that advertise in them. Also you can take a look at Dennis Kirk (www.denniskirk.com), Chaparrel (www.chaparrel-racing.com), or other online parts stores.

 

Get the 400ex you'll like it

 

thanks I think im gonna get the 400ex now all i have to do is finance gonna need to find a co signer have to talk one of my parents into it i can afford the payments just gotta convince them of that

 

400ex is better

[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img].... WHATS THE fck is MATTER WITH THE fcking HONDA PPLE?!?!?! REVERSE!!!!!! dude why put a fckingreverse on a 6ay *** fckin 300ex and not put it on the 400....fck you honda! reverse!!!


sry bout the inconvienence...stupid websight would let me fcking curse

 

jomomma is right they have no reverse.Check out the new 400 trailblazers.Heres the link to them=Polaris Trailblazer 400

 

If you're buying one new, definitely go with the Z-400. Why would you want to get something slower that doesn't have reverse when they are both the same price? Reverse is necessary on a quad to me unless you're riding in the dunes. I would have a 400EX right now if they have reverse, but because they don't, I'll be goin with Yamaha or Suzuki. Just an opinion.
