Right on dude! That Black plastic scratches easy though. I know because I have it. My bike's under a year old and it looks 5 years old.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]

 

hey i resent that

 

If I were buying a quad for just trails, it would be a 400ex. If you NEED reverse (which a good rider doesn't), then it's the Z/KFX400. There's nothing wrong with the power from either of those. Trail riding is more about handling than power.
The only thing I didn't like about the 400ex I rode was that you can't see around the fenders when riding a wheelie over a long distance.

BTW- I started riding quads when I was 6, and I didn't start with some little 80cc unit. I started on a Honda 200sx. I had to reach down and move the shifter by hand because my foot wasn't strong enough for upshifts. Somehow, I never died. I think as a rider I may have been more safe then than I am now...

 

Well Punker,

I am not happy about paying more money for an all black atv...period. I just needed one for this weekend and black was actually the best deal(yes even as an limited addition). I thought that it might look old quick, BUT it is a raptor atv. My car is great looking....my atv is mean looking. All I can do. If the chicks don't like it, then I'm screwed, lol....

 

Hmmm......glad your alive man. You have great skills.

 

Completely agree about the overconfidence. My sister is one of the people. Seems like every time she rides her beartracker she biffs going over jumps (not saying i never have)...but on the rare occaision that she goes with us, she usually ends up on the ground. I see kids at Solon (local place) riding the high-bank turns at the motoX setup they've got with absolutely no reguard to anyone's safety but their own.

 

Right on dude! If you keep good care of it, it wont look that bad, my friend got an 04 LE also and it still looks sick [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

how in the heck do you get "overconfident" out of that one sentence and any way towercity was joking around incase you didnt read that thread

 

i think it would suk with out reverse ..think about how many times your gonna need to get off with out it..makes sense to have it people that say u don't need it when your stuck the first thing u have to do is rock the bike back and forth..with out reverse your gettin off and pullin/tuggin with mud splashin everywhere lolol funny stuff--------- when u could just flip the lever?????? how the hell is it an "elite option"

 

gotta have reverse for trailz! periodlol
