im 6'0' 265lbs which one should i get 300 or 400ex be honest

[bulkdriverlp]

dont need to go fast and break my neck. ride a lot of 50" trails but want some suspension for woops what do ya think. be honest your not gunna hurt my feelings at all.thanx ed

[bone705]

well i am 5' 8" and 160#s and when i had my 300 i felt crapmed up on it. the 400 is a great all around quad from what i hear and have seen. unless reverse in a must for you then id choose the 400 everyday over the 300.

[ewalker302]

You def need the 400 im 6'4" 225lb & im trying to loose weight/gain speed (used to be 180lb & went faster).

:bandit:

[quadrider400]

FOUR HUNDRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bill Fuller]

No doubt 400EX,you will be cramped on the 300.You would enjoy the 300 at first until you learned to ride it then you would realize that you should have gotten the 400.

[theTman]

definately the 400ex

[ZSK]

I'm 6'0 150. The 300ex fits me fine. I would rather ride a 400ex but the check book can't handle it right now. Your in the area give me a holler this summer and I'll let you ride the 300ex. The suspension isn't stock so you can't really compare too much.

[2001400ex]

400.

[350Xrider]

whats your price range? juding by your weight i say get a raptor.

[Tommy 17]

i felt big on a 300ex when i was 14!!! i was probably 5'6 125lbs then... i felt cramped on it...


i sat on one the other day and i'm 6'0 155lbs now and i felt all cramped up and my knees hit the fenders... i def could not ride a 300ex

400ex...i bottomed out 300ex suspension on 3 foot log jumps...

[rockwilda1089]

if u have the choice and you know how to ride you should get a 400 regardless of your height and weight

[dpizz450]

four hundred EX. my little cousin rides a 300 and hes about 5"5 and weighs about 110 and he feels little on it

[bulkdriverlp]

good comments so far guys keep em coming, checkbook looks like i have to pay down a damn recon before i can do anything, have honda card. wouldnt ride anything but red.:D ed

u may feel a little cramped on a 400ex too....the ds650 & kfx700 are both great machines....whatever you do, stay away from the craptor no matter how cool the look. ;) good luck

[rollie]

yeah....you will like the 300......for like a month untill you master it

but i still like mine....:o

im 6'2 and 190 lbs and I can ride a 300ex no prob. I still say go with the 400ex, but you guys make it seem like a trx90 or something.

[roostin_dale]

I am around 6'2 and i feel a bit cramped on my 250x (same as a 300 if you didnt know)...BUT, its not to the point where it is un-comfortable..

I would say go for the 400ex

[yellowrider]

JUmbo whats the deal with raptors??

2001 there could have been a few bugs but now they are just as good as any other bike.. the most common problem i've seen around here is people do not jet them right... seems like its running to rich or to lean or j ust not running at all.. ..


i am no raptor fan but dont dish them just because a few spanked that honda 450joke ...
no matter what i wouldnt get a . 450r their slower than a yfz stands up easier, gets on two wheels easier, and kick start. even though its made by honda its not their best bike.. i wouldnt buy it.

















it doesnt feel to well when i called your honda 450r a joke did it??

or all the other untrue comments the 450r is a good machine..
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Get the 400ex, buy a powerbomb header/whitebrothers e-series, holeshots xcr's in the rear, trail claws up front, nerfs, 14tooth sproket, jet it.. and that 400ex will be set to go anywhere you would like to take it..

i loved my 400ex a whole lot i wouldnt have trade it for any fourwheeler till i rode the yfz :rolleyes: that set me back 2,600 if you think it didn't.:D



but

my 300ex was nice to.. i loved that bike as soon as i got rid of it .. it had all tracs and whitebrothers e series promeg .. i loved that bike i missed it a bunch after i got rid of it... but now its hard to tell which one i would like more..

at first i was a little sick not having reverse.. but then after 2 years on the 400ex you get used to it. i told myself that i will never buy a 4 wheeler agin without reverse.. but look what i did. bought a brand spankin new 450 without a darn reverse..

what i am trying to say you will get used to not having a reverse. . and the 3-400ex you wont be unhappy i had fun with both...

[CowsBitePeople]

no doubt the 400, Great machine:macho no reverse isnt bad the thing isnt extremely heave so you can pick it up and throw it around:macho

[xr50layke]

no brainer, 400ex!

[RideRedEX]

I'm 6ft 160lbs and i still love my 300. I still ride it more than my 450r.

[infantry317]

I'm 6'1" was 280 and got a 400ex, I'm down to 255 now, but I think you should go 400ex. It won't take long and you'll think you need a 450R or YFZ like me :blah:

[bulkdriverlp]

ok i guess ill save my pennies for a 400 i may as well buy it right the first time. thanx for the feedback.:D ed

[Quadworks]

Definatly get the 400EX. New for new the 400 is way cheaper than the 300 anyway last I checked around here.

[Lgnrider424]

yea the 400 would def be better, plus you can find um a dime a dozen now a days, and get nice ones for cheap. but im 6'4 250+ and still through my 300 around. its fun just b\c im so big and its so little, i just look goffy on it, we should have a movie soon and i think im in a few shots. it holds up fine for all the riding i do which is mostly trails and some rev 3 jumpin. and as long as the landing is nice on whatever your jumpin, you wont really bottom out, i wasnt at leas jumpin the rev(its the same ramp as jug posted of bignorm doin holymans), but get the 400 for sure
