the z400 would be your best choice it is a very good all around quad... its an UPDATED 400ex mostly

If you're mostly trail riding, I'd say Warrior or Z-400 depending on the amount of money you have to spend. The Warrior is still one of the best trail quads around I think. They are very tank-like compared to other sport quads. The Z-400 has been said by many people to be just about the best current trail quad too. The 400ex is great at it, and the Z-400 just improved on the two areas where the 400ex was weak, engine cooling and reverse. For slow moving, tight, technical stuff, the liquid cooling helps out a lot. And I can't count the times reverse has gotten me out of some bad stuff. Don't get me wrong, the 400ex is great, but now you can get something better for the exact same price. Anyway, I would go with the Z-400, and if money is an issue, go with a Warrior.

figures, some people will say anything to sell something. never believe what MOST dealerships/sellers say unless you are very positive, most of the time, if they can tell you are new to quads, they will fill you full of BS just for the $$, anyway, id usually just check around in forums like these if you are ever intrested in a new quad. top speed for a warrior-61mph and top speed for a 400ex is 68mph, sorry for this post being OT.

sadly, thats as fast as they go, i read it in dirtwheels for the warrior, and atvsport for the 400ex , but they still run pretty good,but theres always that option to buy mods

You hare the tallest 14 yr old in the world. Get a Raptor or KFX700. The 450 is kinda small.

WARRIOR VS 400EX stock? dont think soo. I would say go any 4 stroke with enough cc's to meet your needs. test drive a lot of them, and pick whatever one you like best. I would recomend a yamaha tho

Raptor

I agree with AlphaRaptor660R, the 400ex would be a good choice. You might also consider the Z400 (has a little more power). Both are nice quads. Good luck with what ever you decide.

400ex is a good choice for trails...handles great and reliablity is no issue....Not to mention the price tag, its a great price...I'd say go with that...

I'm 14, 6'1 and about 175lbs. I have been riding a utility most of my life, I want a sport atv. Any ideas which would be best for me? I've thought about a 400ex. a lot of people have them. I mostly trail ride, don't race much. can someone put some ideas in my head, please.

68mph is all the 400ex's do stock? hmm... I figured that they would go a little faster, because i heard that the 300ex
s do 63 stock

I've got a '93 warrior which has seen better days, i didn't get the warrior until '99 and the guy who had it before me pretty much ragged the sh%t out of it. If he could rig something up he did it. I've tried bring it back to life a little with a full FMF titanium 4 exhaust, stage II jets, and open air box w/K&N. My riding buddy rides a '01 400EX in pretty good shape, with all the same mods as mine. I can tell you the 400 will pull away a little because it only has 5 gears instead of 6 which means more shifting for me. It usually pulls away in about high 3rd or low 4th not by much though. However i can tell you if you know how to ride and can shift quick enough through the top gears in the warrior you could pull on 400 for a while until you run out of gears. Everybody who says the warriors are tanks they're right, i've revved the piss out of mine, i've probably had mine pegged in 6th for over 2 or 3 miles with out letting off even for a second. i've hit huge rocks, jumps, sunk it in mudd/water and it still ticks. By the way i've had to give my buddy a ride numerous times because something has went wrong on his 400. If anything i would go yamaha. Right now i'm deciding between a used raptor or a used banshee, i would get a 450 but that six or seven grand they cost is a little high right now. good luck

My buddies 400 EX will go 64 stock, but it feels reeeal good. and then another buddy claims 72 stock so who knows?? But I'd go with any fourstroke... indistructable specially them warriors (even though i dont like them, lol no affense)
