I've had a 300EX for years. I usually keep a utility quad and a sport quad. I'm totally happy with my new Rancher 420, but the 300EX needs to go. I dont really want to go out and spend 8,000. I usually ride light trails, some woods, fire roads, and do a little hill climbing on the 300. I just get so bored with it now. I'm not looking for the biggest, nicest bike out there.. I was leaning toward a banshee, z400, Raptor, or yfz. What would be the pros and cons.

 

Don't know what to tell you..Those bike you listed at the bottom of your post are the ones that cost $7000.00 to 9000.00,so the cons would be price,the Banshee(can only buy used in the US) and the YFZ are little race bikes..I would say for what you want to do the Raptor 660 or 700 is your best option..But yet again the 700 new will cost you about 7 grand bone stock new..If you wan't to buy a used one,you might find a deal out there..But the number one rule of buying used ATV's is ...NEVER buy one from a teenager..Buy the way I'm a Yamaha guy don't know much about the Z400

 

I would say the z400 or a used yfz. Raptor 660 is not what you want for tight trails.
