its really up to you. You can either have a nice 416 motor with bad@$$ chassis components or you can buy a 450r with a very powerfull engine.
--depends...if you buy the 450r, how long will you leave it stock?

I would totally deck your 400ex out then wait for NEXT years production of the 450's so Honda can work all the bugs out.

I think I`ll wait to see if there are any bugs to work out.
there`s no reason to get one before spring around here anyway.
by the time it is out , there will be 2 feet of snow.
Maybe the 05 model will have an aluminum frame ; I`m allowed to hope!

just wait and get your hands on a 450r motor, not the dirt bike one because i believe it only has 4 gears, and the new 450 should have 5, but jsut wait to get it and stuff it into your 400ex frame, after that im sure they would be close in performance if you hade some suspension mods

ummmm..... the CRF450 dirtbike has a 5-speed same with the TRX450R.
the YZ450F dirt bike has a 4-speed and the WR450F has a 5-speed same as the YFZ450.

How many frame mods do you have to make to put the 450 motor in a 400ex frame.
