If I'm not mistaken, the newer 400's have reverse. I think somewhere around 2004

get the 400 bc the raptor isn't a great all around quad , the 400 is comforable , reliable , cheaper parts , less maint. and very fun to ride. reverse is for amatures.the raptor is a speed bike thats very unstable its good for sand drags . the 400 is great for trail and easy to set up for the track or even lower but if i were you save your money and get a 450 any make or model . the extra money is well worth it i've ridden them all .

my buddy has a raptor 660 and he let me ride it all day and it was so uncomfortable. it feels like you're standing up just sitting on it. yeah the power of those things are awesome but it's too snappy when you accidently hit the gas a little too hard. they want to buck you right off when you go up hills. besides they are a pain in the ***** to work on. the oil tank is in a place where you have to have a 10 foot long funnel just to put oil in it.

my buddy wishes now he would have got a 400 after he rode ours.

If you have teh money get a Rappy 700. You can pick them up for under 5k used. They are aweomse trailer machines and will womp all over a 400ex in the drags:)

i love honda's but if you have narrowed down to one of the two bikes with your size the raptors motor might move you a bit better... but im thinkin a 450 would be the way to go!!
