[JParisi48]

my dad is looking to trade his 2001 polaris scrambler 500, 2 wheel drive, reverse, with a pro circuit exhaust and k and n air filter for a 400ex....i dont know if any1 will want to but he made me post it...its a nice quad, in amazing shape, its too fast for him hes pushin 40yrs old lol...we are in the MA NH area...ill post pics if you guys are interested

400ex's aren't really any slower..:ermm:

400ex's are FASTER then Scrambler 500's, and much sportier/stiffly sprung.

If the 500's too much for him, he should be looking for something full utility, not a sport quad.

Scrambler 500 2wd 2stroke?... or is that the 400?....
Last time I rode the 2 stroke model I thought it was pretty quick on the top end. It was all stock too

IMO, Scramblers are tanks! Hard to on bumpy trails at high speed. Too big of a quad... built more like a tractor (just a heads up for potential traders)

Yeah, I think it would be better for him to either sell locally, or trade in towards a nice utility. My neighbor bought an '06 Arctic Cat 400 for like $2300 off of craigslist a few months ago.

500 is the four stroke

I hate to say it but for trail riding the Polaris feels like a Cadillac compared to a Honda! Particularly that year too because it had the higher end Fox piggy back on the rear. They're not for the aggressive rider but if I was pushing 50yrs the 400ex would be one of the last machine I would want to get on. The suspension is garbage for an easy rider. I think he's making a big mistake with wanting to trade this direction.
