Between a Warrior 350, 400ex, or Lt 250 Quadracer. Im gonna be doing alot of trail riding, and some Ice "racing" (drifting the corners of my neighborhood which is essentialy 2 and figure eights together). So something with good suspension, upgradeable, and reliable.

400ex all the way. The warriors are nice, but rougher riding, not as powerful, and not the most fun factor type of bike. the LT250R are cool, fast, and lots of fun, but are not so reliable (like any other 2 stroke) It may not do so good in the trails either, depending on your riding style.
the EX, sounds like its what you want. Tons of parts out there, decent suspension, and plenty of upgrades.

400ex

The warrior isn't even in the same league and if you apply the wrenching you'll put into the LT 250 just to keep it running in to the 400ex you'll have one fast machine.

id go with the 400..now that the 450's have been out a while you can get nice ones cheap, and they are damn near bullet proof:beer

They also have way better geometry, suspension, and power. Night and day, different class.

400ex or the 250, 250 and thr 400 have the same suspension and **** like that but i personally want a 250r so that what i would take, the 400 you can get for a decent price though and there are lots of aftermarket and a huge following, i guess all that applies to the r though too.

He menitoned the LT250R quad racer, that is a Suzuki product. It doesn't have any parts that interchange with a 400ex.

I say go with the 400ex. i own one and its great. For a normal rider that just wants to trail ride all day everyday and never worry about a breakdown its the perfect machine. Now if you wanna race it also, you better seriously look at a 450.

Dude, get the lt 250 quadracer. A lt 250 will run circles around a warrior or 400 ex. They are very reliable. Keep the filter clean. Run good pre mix such as yamalube at 32:1 and change the tranny oil regularly, those quadracers will run forever. A 400 ex is very very reliable but not on the same page in terms of power. Lots of hop up parts still available for those quadracers too. There are so many lt 250's for sale out here for great deals, hopefully some in your area too.

I'd pick the quadracer too just because I'm a twostroke fan. If your mechanicly inclined it'd be a great bike to rip around on. The 400EX will stomp it in tight technical trails due to its ease of use and smoother power/suspension.

For ice riding, nothing beats a well-tuned two-stroke like the Quadracer. And plus, it's got nice handling... but not that great.

I'm also an oil burner fan, but I would choose the 400EX simply because it is a very nice trail quad. The LT is a great quad, and they were actually prefered back in the day for flat-track racing, but any two stroke can be tricky on tight trails. As mentioned, you can pick up a nice EX for relatively cheap now thanks to the popularity of the 450s. You want something that handles good, can be upgraded, and is reliable? Your answer is the 400EX.
