on sunday my and my buddy (he has a raptor *caugh caugh junk*) were out ridin and we found a new hill on his land and thought it would be perfect for a new hill climb. so we cleared out some little trees and branches the whole nine yards. well i decide to try it first. i hit it a little to slow and only made it up about 2/3 of the way. ok try #2 hit it wide open in second im up up and about 6 feet from the top i dont know what hppend the whole quad just shoots to the right clipped a tree. after that things get a little crazy... quad flips over on me slams me to the ground and then starts to go ***** over tea kettle down this 120 or so foot hill and ends up landing in a croch of a tree at the bottom of the hill. it took us about 20 minutes to figure out how to get her out of the tree but when we did we realized that NOTHING BROKE now how crazy is that the handle bars did not even bend! i guess i am the only one that broke. i broke my ring finger on my left hand and have a little bit of road rash on my back and legs from the tree all and all i think that the 400 is built really well to be able to hold up to that kind of abuse

good job honda :muscle:

i hit a puddle while going sidways and my 400EX rolled once and the Handlebars and steering column were destroyed.

You were just lucky, or exagerating.
