Best quad you ever owned?

[MXRACER86]

What is the best quad you guys have ever owned? Be honest!

[sharkinthepool]

My foforty ex

my 99 ex!!!! with the last motor I had in it. a 426 putting out about 46 HP with more of a hit than a my YFZ. quad handled very good too. better than my other more expensive quads I have owned!

[exrider360]

my 300ex i dont care whaty people say about thtse little quad io love mine and i dont want to get rid of it bt you gotta move up sooner or later

[geogeorge]

I knowI'm going to take Sh*t for this one.

The quad I loved the most was my 2000 Banshee. I did do some work to make it handle in the woods but the motor was stock with just a 2 into one motofast pipe and I did not loose a hole shot all year and was the guy to beet on it that year untill I broke my hand and could not race for 6 weeks.

I do like my new YFZ but I have yet to do better then last off the line with it.:confused:

[roostin_dale]

my cannondale....i might like the yfz better after it gets more mods...

[RGERBER875]

POLARIS PREDATOR 500

[TWISTED]

My '00 400EX rocked!! Pro Circuit slip on and TMM timing advance key way made this the best all around quad I've owned so far. Very very reliable, but I have to say my 450R is REALLY pushing for this title!! It gains ground evey time I ride it.

I have owned one of them, they have much more potential than people give them....

[400-416EX]

The quad I owned and miss the most was my 99 250R.

[MY450R]

450r is the best quad ive ever had oh and btw how did you have a 99 250r??
it must have been built in 99 so whats the deal

[cdquad]

My 2000 400ex. So far the mest most reliable quad I have had, but my 450r is making ground on it every day.

[Rico]

I"m still riding it...:macho

[Motoman440]

02 Cannondale Moto!!! The power and ride can never be matched!!!

[400-416EX]

oops sorry 89 250r

[soilworker]

Split between ATK450 and Cannondale. I still have both.

I have owned and raced a 450R and did so for about 4 months or so. Wasn't too bad until I got the ATK setup for MX and wow. The power's by far more everywhere from top to bottom, suspension blows it away, control as well. The only thing I liked better about the Honda was the breaks. I would not buy one again. Fun but I'll stick w/my EFI alum framed quads. I'm putting a stroker in the C'Dale this winter even to blow quads away more.

The Honda's fun but it'll take some money to make it equal IMO. And don't give me any bull**** about blowing the things up. I've seen more 450R's/YFZ's blow up than Cannondale's by a LONG shot this year. Nobody seems to want to speak about it though it seems. I have a couple friends w/R's who've blown there's up and others w/YFZ's have shot parts out the exhaust in flames.

[smr]

Man I would have to say that I still love my 87 250r. I don't race it anymore but I love to get it out and run it around the farm for kicks.

[wheeltrax]

my 01 400ex, I love it. Nuff said

[cheetah]

The Dale.:cool:

[Matt400ex_17]

My 1994 Trx 90!!! This has been the strongest quad i have ever owned!!! Im 20 lbs over the weight reccomendation and still jump and run the heck out of it and never once had a problem. Ive broken 2 400 frames and blew out shocks on the use that it was built for. I dont think my 90 was meant for jumping a 32 FT tabel top 4th gear pinned and clearing it landing flat.. I only wish honda would put the strenth of this quad in my 400 or 450r. Still havent had any problems the 450 either though so i would say it a good one too.

[Johnny & Monica]

Got the pm am going to talk with the landowner again tomorrow.
We're talking about doing some winter racing maybe a Hillbilly or something else we can find thats not too awful far. But we have to get thru the 12 hour race next week and we'll see what is left of my quad. We're racing the industry class as Chance's Powder Coating. I'll let ya know what I find out after I talk with Slim.

[geogeorge]

Sounds good to me. Haave fun at the 12 hour. I hoping to do some racing this off season as well. I think there is one in Ark in november I might try and hit. Maybe we can get togather and just do some riding? Let me know.
Geoff

[Johnny & Monica]

As for mid-south they are all on sunday afternoons and I'm not sure I wish to get home that late. I will look up some of them and see what kind of a drive it will be for you and me.
Geoff

[TheJaspMan]

My Cdales for sure!

[sickmojave]

My best is my 400 ex. my worst was my mojave. :ermm:

[250rmike]

definatly have to be my cdale. i havent owned anything that matched the power and handling. i havent even rode anything close to the handling of this bike and the power is rite up there with the new 450's even if my motor prolly needs a rebuild( not sure how many hours are on it but im sure its more than should be

[beak7707]

The quad that started it all, the 250R. I would rather ride my R anyday over my friends 450r.

[michaelopfer]

Most definetily my 02 440ex, with so much power and relibillity
I don't think ill have to replace a part again. :cool:

tsk... tsk... tsk! The quad that started it all...

my LT250R Quadracer! :eek: :D

[ScooterX]

My 02 C-dale that is currently owned by CdaleChick was the best quad I've ever owned. My last race on it was my most memorable race ever. They started the Int. and Nov. classes at the same time and I got 1st in Int. and beat 2 of the Pro riders (that was going to be my last race before I moved up). That morning, I also had to pull start 2 of my friends quads and both of them rode Hondas... LOL, that was a true Kodak moment. It killed me to hear about the problems CdaleChick had with it after she bought it but it's running strong now.

Since I sold that quad, I have yet to ride any quad or ATV. Everytime I have the chance to, I won't do it because it'll remind me too much of the fact that I would have been racing local Pro now (plus the fact that I probably can't ride a quad at a Novice pace now).... Now I'm racing 125 Nov on my YZ 250F, and still have a long way to go until I get to the local pro level. Looking at it like that, I'm sad that I switched to bikes but I don't regret it because it's the only way I could still afford to race MX. I must say though, I do absolutely LOOOOOVE my 2fiddy F. I love it soooo much that instead of renting a storage building to keep it in, I just park it right inside my dining room in my apartment.


You might be a motocrosser if......
You keep your bike parked inside your house. :D :p

[polarisracer]

My favorite quad is my 400EX, I love everything about it except I wish it had a bit more power so I could run with the 450's.. Hopefully the 416 kit and hotcam stg 2 cam I have coming in will get me closer.

[Dan229]

1985 250 Big Red! I only had to fix one thing on it in the 4 years I had it and I bet I put 5000 miles on that thing
