i know ill get alot of opinions but whats the best sport quad thats no to expensive

**BIGCRIP28** · 07-03-2005, 12:56 PM

you looking for new or used?

400ex can usually be had for cheap.

**Tri-ZNate** · 07-03-2005, 02:15 PM

Raptor 350 is a fun sport quad.

**sblt500r** · 07-03-2005, 03:54 PM

honda 300ex or the 250x.

**smokinwrench** · 07-03-2005, 04:13 PM

RIght now best bang for the buck is probably a 400ex. You can buy a nice 400ex in the 2 grand price range. I bought mine for $2,00 early this spring with a few aftermarket parts on it. I know okieRrider just bought his for a damn goodprice and it is 100% stock.

Nice thing about the 400ex is parts are cheap and with an extra $500-1000 later on they can compete with any of the new quads being built.

i say brand new ** best bet is a blaster. there the cheapest new, and with a couple hundred bucks in mods you can be spankin 300ex's n pretty much anything under a 400..but if ** going used i would definetaly recomend a 400ex...i would even recomend if you want a new quad to buy a brand new 400ex because there all around fun...but if you want a very competative 400. spring for a z400...thats the funnest quad ive ever ridden and ive been on yfz's to quadsport 80's

400EX for the money no doubt. Possibly a Banshee too, they are cheap as hell used, I think they suck though.

Brand new I have to agree with blaster............but it will depend on the type riding you do. I work at a dealership and have a good idea what they have into some of the used quads (ssssshhhhhh yzf450 for under $4000). Otherwise right here in WI there is a great 250r for around $4000.........or an older lt250r (some assembly required) for well under a grand. The market on 400exs and warrior's is also reasonable but you will just have to negotiate a bit. Same guy with the 250r also has a raptor to sell that will also be affordable, when compared to new quads and it is in immaculate condition.

I'd go with a 300ex or 400ex. Awesome woods machines. The mid 90's 300ex can be found under 2 grand now days. I have one, and I simply love them. I like it better than my buddies 400ex. Sure, it doesn't have alot of speed, but it has TIGHT handling plenty of power.

You can buy an 01-02 raptor from $2500-3500. I would go with that.

**nicker71** · 07-13-2005, 07:58 PM

the 400ex is great for the money I also think a suzuki lt 250R is good and a little cheaper than a 400ex and faster. Another one is the blaster it really just bepends on your on want I think these three would be great in a sport quad catorgory

i wouldnt get an '01 simply because of the weak trannies and starter problems

**corndawg** · 08-16-2005, 10:59 PM

now that the 450's are out 400ex's can be picked up pretty cheap, and they are bullet proof to boot. around here nice used blasters can be picked up for $1500 and under, after market parts for them are cheap and everywhere

**performula** · 08-16-2005, 11:33 PM

From what I understand the 250R and the 400EX have the same chassis and suspension? Am I wrong?
