I'm going at 3pm central time to get a 2002 400ex. This wil be my first performance quad. I'm a little nervous about gettin it. Should I be? I'd be paying $2300 for it. Its got a White Brothers E pipe. Its in good condition. I guess i'm just lookin for a few positive comments. Thanks, TYRELL

haha **** you got a better deal than me...i bought an 02' 400ex in 2004 for 3000$, but the guy had only ridden it twice and there was nothing done to it...so in my opinion u should be a happy camper!! :devil:

I guess i'm just lookin for a little reasurance. I just lost alot of money on a 01 Husqvarna CR125 and I'm a little nervous about buyin another toy. I've got some older bikes that I ride. I just hope that this Honda holds up to the credit that everyone gives it. I'm just a little nervous about buy it.

For $2300 its a good price, look it over though,

Usually by lookin at it you can tell if its been ridden hard, see how well it runs thats a bigger indicator.

Also, just an FYI- I bought my 02, 400ex with a BURNT up piston cracked sleeve, I had a new piston sleeve and stage II cam put in and the engine ROCKS.

If you take care of a Honda it will take of you.
Buy it and let us know

Good luck

I am absolutely certain that you will enjoy your new 400EX.
Lets see some pictures of it when you get it unloaded.
Tell us also what kinds of mods have been done to it.

You'll be extremely happy with your choice, but if you do get tired of it then theres a ton of mods that you can do for your liking.

I went from a curtis sparks to a white brothers pro-meg because the curtis is soo loud and honestly I can't tell the difference between the two power wise. I personally like white brothers, LRD and yoshi pipes.

white bros makes a good pipe, but there are better ones. yosh, hmf, sparks are all a bit better. the yosh is the only one thats better and can stay quiet. u can get a hotcams cam or a web cams cam or a bunch of others. hotcams and webcams are some of the best out there though
