i love hondas but the z/kfx/dvx power is so much better then the 400ex and plus they got piggy back shocks and better geometry then the 400ex. go with the z/kfx/dvx

400ex's are a little more reliable but thats only because their motor is such low tech and simple not much can go wrong. The z is very reliable however with just a few minor problems buts they have had fewer problems than the 450r and yfz450.

They are both excellent machines but I am a honda man so I would get the 400ex because they are bullet proof!

Deffinately go with the z400, it has reverse, is faster, and looks better too!:p

reverse is for old men, women, and pussies so is electric start, get a 450r

my dealer said there will be a 450 z by the end of the summer so i would wait and go with that and then tell me if its better than the 450r so i know what to buy next season:D

KFX has more power than ex but is more prone to breakage. Honda is more reliable but also slower so rather have power vs. reliable..

The 450r is a honda of course it's going to be better than a suzuki. Most likely suzuki and kawasaki are working on it together so maybe they might be able to put something together worth buying but I won't hold my breath!

personally i like my kfx better then my cousins ex. i think it rides smoother.
EX-a bit slower, a bit less power, air cooling, and lacks reverse on 04 models and previous.
KFX-bit faster, bit more power, sits higher, liquid cooling, has reverse, IMO somewhat smoother ride.
You decide?!?
But they are both great overall bikes, thats for sure.

I ride an '04 ex and I love it but I bet the new Suzuki 450 is gonna be one hell of a nice quad.
