Warrior?!?!?! That may be a good price but you will be tired of it very quickly, they are basically gutless. The EX will be much, much more fun for much longer and they are bullet proof rides.

 

^^ yea but $2400 for a beat 400ex???

 

Yeah, your right speedy I would'nt give that for a beat one. I'm asking 2500 for my '02 and its in great shape. If you watch you should be able to find a good one for around 2500. I just know I'd be disappointed with the power of a warrior. If you don't much care about the power go for it. It's a good price.

 

400ex owner here but I would have to recommend the Warrior for the type of riding you'll be doing.
"In my area there is alot of powerline trails rocks and dead ends. Also some mud and little ponds"

For sure, the 400ex will smoke a warrior in a race, but race it in reverse and see who wins. I've ridden a Warrior before and I really liked it, but that was before I tried the 400ex and the 450's LOL. The Warrior might have some advantages over the 400ex, but not a whole lot:

-Reverse (from any gear)
-6-speed (I guess it keeps all the gears in the powerband)
-More comfortable

Although being 240lbs might make the Warrior feel underpowered, I'm sure dropping a tooth in the front sprocket will get the torque you need. But that price is really good!
