If your used to the speed of the raptor then going to a 400 would be a step down. But a 400 is a good bike. I would sell the 2001 and get a 2005 Raptor with a better tranny! but if money is an issue i would fix up the 2001 as long as you have never experienced a tranny problem.

Sell the 01, you dont want to have to worry about the tranny going out and having to spend 600 bucks plus labor to get it going again. I dont care what you replace it with, but I wouldnt want that possibility over my head.

Not everyone has tranny problem's...I know of 3 01's, all with built motor's...two with NOS, that have never had a problem.



And before I would get a 400ex, I would fix any problem on a Raptor.

i say get the 400ex

the honda 400 will give you a chance to save some $$$ for a larger bike

the raptor will just keep eating your $$$
