i am casue now people are gonna beat them in a race and start bragging that they beat a 450R with ease when actually its only a 400ex. Its too easy to confuse the 2 if you dont know your quads very well

Yeah ,I am really mad! :mad: I bought a brand new 450r and when I got home it was a 400ex? I called the dealer and they said sorry it is yours?

I called the manager and told him my delima,he said he could give me trade in value only toward a 450R?


I lost over 1000.00 on the deal:eek2:


I wish Honda would have made them look a little different!

Buyer beware...

same here. but the 450r look has really grown on me since i bought mine. i kinda like the look as it is, with maybe a hood.

and honda350r, you have to be joking, right?:huh

i must say that sucks. but i mean when u was filling all the papers out didnt you see what it was called and what they was listing it as, if they have it as a 450r.. then u need to go down there and kick some *** and get your 450r. if it says 400ex. then man ur **** out of luck.. when u was picking it out didnt u notice, then waffle motor. or the reverse. i dunno?:rolleyes:

If you can confuse a 450r with a 400ex than you have no buisness buying something like that. WHen they had put it on the trailer and you seen the dual head pipe no big @$$ radiator up front and the nicer shocks then you should just sell it and buy a RC car!!!! complete stupidity on both sides
