Hey guys

I dunno if i should get a 400 or save up and get a 450 but im kinda in a jam with car insurance and gas and stuff i cant really afford brand new so i think ill just get a 2002 or 2003 400ex, this fall when they go cheaper, but im just wondering i am like 5"11 and like 195 pounds, am i to big for this thing? right now i own a P.O.S Bayou 300 for hunting lol...

All im gonna do is ride tight trails, small tracks and backroads (its now legal to where i live) and maybe as i progress i might add modifactions and such for MX?

anyone know any good ways to finance bikes or do you think i should take out a loan or?, i have about half of what the bike would be worth so ya..

anyways peace

Your not too big for a 400 at all. The 400 is about the size of a 450r. Its got plenty of power for what you want to do, and has decent suspension. It's also bullet proof. Im in the same position though, I can't decide between the 400 or 450.... I think i'll go with the 450.
