Default atv advice....anyone know anything?

so Im considering picking up a new four wheeler. I had an 04 or 05 (cant remember) honda sportrax 250ex and it was fun but I eventually traded it in and got the bike. I am looking at getting one again. What does everyone think is a good one to get? I am leaning more towards the honda sportrax 400ex...anyone have any other suggestions or do you like the 400ex? Dont want to spend any more than 6 out the door

400EX is the best all around quad for hte price ..

If your into more of the speed / MX / XC Stuff get a TRX 450R or a LTR 450 Quad Racer ...

The Yamaha YFZ 450 is also a nice quad but many people have tranny issues with them . I'm not a fan of the 660/700 raptors or anything I like Honda

Honda will run forver

BTW www.ATVFlorida.com is a better place for you in this regaurd I think

I loved my old 400s, one was brand new and one was my racer, I loved them both with mods and stock. Stick with hondas, they will last forever.

450 would be nice but its too much money. I got some shop to give me an unbelievable deal on a brand new 06 400ex so I think Im going to go with that one. Thanks guys ill throw some rep your way
