I dont know if i should get a 400ex and deck it out, or a TRX-450r and keep it stock for a long time. Since its more expensive i wont have money for hop-up parts.

Does anyone know if they are going to stop producing the 400ex?
I really dont know what to do.

Im going to be doing a lot of everything.

Hey, what's up man. I live over in Joliet....welcome to the site......:cool:

If you plan on modding right away, you might as well go for the 450......but either choice wouldn't be a bad choice. As far as the 400ex being discontinued, I don't think it is happening anytime in the near future......

have you ever been on a sport quad before? if not then go with the 400ex & deck it out to your needs...if you have been on one before then test ride a 450r somewhere to see if you will like it...mine is pretty nice but I do miss my 400ex

get the 450R much faster than even a moded 400EX. And no they aren't going to stop producing the 400, they are going to stop producing the 300

Just a thought here guys. Now would be a good time to get a built 400. (i.e. 416's 426's, 440 strokers, etc.) They are going for pretty cheap due to the 450's being released. Hindsight being 20-20, I wish I was in the market for a 400....'cause I coulda had a built one cheap! :grr: :)

450 is definitely faster, but you could get a built 400 for cheap. Just a thought though bud.;)

Either way is a win-win situation.:devil:

Hey guys that for your advice, redroost85 has a good idea about the 400ex being cheap. I guess im gonna go with the 400ex cause i wanna do a lot a trail riding.

And sly400ex, we gotta meet up somewhere so i can check out ur 400ex with all those parts, if u dont mind. Im 17 years old.
