Your area may be different, but around here that wouldn't buy a new 400. It would, however, buy a very nice used 400ex with money left for a few mods. My $.02.

$3,700....a 400ex would prob. be best for you

Yep, I wouldnt buy a new 400EX... they are a dime a dozen and you can get a very clean used 400EX for cheap.

You should get a 400EX you will be glad ya did! If I had it to do over I would buy the 400EX again. I also have a Z400 and I usually pick the EX to ride. Sits a little lower and feels more stable. You should be able to find one for around $3000. If it already has a pipe go get ya some decent shocks.

this guy's a f'in migget, and will be needing a high seat if he wants to ride a 400ex.

I say you look over your list of possible quads.

how about a 90:D Just Kiddin. But you are very small. I would maybe go with a 300ex The 400 would be fine as well but like the 400's the 300's are very cheap right now.

i would say a 400ex but your kind of small so maybe a 300? I dunno what it is like to be that small so i dunno if you can actully fit on a 400ex...

if you can find a nice used kfx 400 that would be good,but like everyone said you kinda small the 300 might be good for you,it is really up to you i think,and your riding ability.
