Default Advice please?

hi,

I'm new on the forums. I currently own a KX 250 dirt bike but want to get a four wheeler. I want a sport quad.
I don't know which one to get. I either want to get a 400 ex, banshee, or Z400. I'll be riding some trails, climbing alot of steep hills, and alot of jumping. can someone help me out? will the Z push out some power? how bout the honda? Would the banshee be pretty close in power to my KX? please give me some advice, thanx.

If you are gonna be riding in the trails and doing alot of jumping, the banshee is pretty much out of the question... the Z has a few more ponies, but the ex does better in trails.

The banshee would be my choice for wide open spaces where cornering, jumping, and low end power aren't as important. For trail riding I don't think anything can beat the z400 as an all around machine. The Z has a little more power than the 400ex, and the newer models have better suspension too. All three are great machines, but the banshee is dated, and isn't the best in tight technical riding and trail riding.
