Cannondale hands down! Everything else sucks and the Cannondale ROCKS!!!!

Ooops... you said unbiased... hmmmm... I guess I shouldn't answer than. LOL J/K!

The Z400 is probably the best all around quad and at a GREAT price.

But for MX (even though I know you didn't say MX) the Dale is king as far as "still in production" quads.

Warrior, you want some 22x12.5x9 Super Swampers for that Warrior? I had them on my old EX and they were AWESOME on the trails. Hit a mud pit wide open 5th gear and you will see the worlds biggest rooster tail. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Mr. Ryanstones. for best value: clean, cheap '00-01 400EX
Why would anybody buy a aged slow 00-01 400EX instead of the new Suzuki Z 400 if they are the same price?

 

The trouble is, they are NOT the same price! Dealers around here want $1000-$1200 more money for the Suzuki. The Suzuki is a great machine, but in my book, not $1200 better! I'll buy the 400EX as a great back-up machine to my Raptor! If the EX is dead, unit sales of this machine sure don't prove it.

Somehow I left out the word USED. sorry.
With all the choices in hot quads now (thanks Cannondale), there are some real nice Used EX's that can be had for 4k or less. If/When Honda responds, the flood of used EX's will make their resale even lower.

I just feel sorry for all the poor people who baught the new 400ex when it came out (even then it was a marginal improvement over the 300 ex) Wait the 300 ex has reverse LMAO ..
Just goes to show you how a name will sell your quads for you.
I'm not saying Yamaha is or was any better .
