Thanks for the welcome.Im 15 5'10 140 lbs.Ive been riding for 5 yrs now.First thing i had was some off brand dirtbike with a suzuki engine. Next i got a e-ton 125 had that for a month (sucked bad).now i got the lakota. Sorry if it sounds like my life story but i just wanted to give you a little insight on my driving experience.By the way how do you save up 3k+ mowing lawns.

 

you cut alot of yards...obviously[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

sounds like your pretty squared away in the experience sector, a kxf400 sounds like a good buy(if he still thinks the 400 is to big, tell him you want a yfz350 atv, leave the banshee part out of that title though, he may catch on if you don't)

 

Lol, i think i can talk him into a honda 400ex. They're rock solid dependable and they're great trail bikes from what ive read. They're also not as powerful as the other 400's and theres plenty of performance parts out there when i feel i need more.Thx alot for all the comments.

 

you can bump them up power wise really easy also. good all around quad, go for it, i'm sure you'll like it(400ex that is)

 

The 400ex is a better all around package than a Warrior/350Raptor. While it may be faster, it is also safer when the speeds are the same due to better handling and probably better brakes. LOL, I remember when the Warrior was the biggest motor you could get in a 4-strooke sport quad!!
