got a question- didn't know where to put it

[speedfreak92]

hello, i'm new to this forum. if this is in the wrong place feel free to move it.

well, i finally got my dad to agree to let me buy an atv, but i have to save up and pay for it. I know this is an opinionated question so i know i probly will get some opinionated answers, but what will be a good atv for me? I love to go fast so top speed is a factor. I will be riding lots of trails, old logging roads, and power lines. i also might try to do some of the amature motorcross and cross country races near by. I would like something at least 400 class that can be found realetivly easily for under of around $3, 500-3,700.

what do you think?

[Glenyzracer25]

get a 400ex to start out with.. there reliable and you can get them cheap. they also have excellent handling and good power.

[speedfreak92]

do the hondas have reverse?

[hangman]

The newer ones do have reverse, starting in 06 I think. The ex sounds like the perfect machine for you. I had an 01 and they are pretty much bulletproof. There's so many of them around you should be able to find a nice late model in that price range pretty easily. And aftermarket parts are fairly cheap and easy to find. Good luck and post some pics when you get it.

[Which 450?]

I would say, the good ol', super reliable 400ex.

I think you would like the power of a Z400 or a KFX 400. They are both just as reliable as a 400ex. There liquid cooled. IMO handle better in stock form. Adn they are faster
