That is one ugly front end!!! I'm glad I got mine when I did.

It seems like all they did was change the front clip and add a reverse and a higher price tag. It says they changed the gear ratio to :confused: .

I was more hoping for a 650 sport quad.

The old noise looks better then the new 450R wannbe.

i don't think it looks that bad.

[OldSchoolin86]

That nose looks stubby but on the 450 it looks better with the more argessive front fenders.

[trikerider2oo7]

looks a lot like a 450r

I'm suprised they didn't upgrade the front shocks.:rolleyes: For the money I don't know why anyone would buy an 05 400ex over the 05 z400. The Z recieved many quality upgrades and not just cosmetic (other than reverse) like the ex. :(

[corndawg]

i wonder if the old style front plastic will fit

[REDMAN225]

i think it looks sweet. i like the front end. the 05 black 450r is one of the sweetest looking quads i've seen.

I like it,I would rather have a kfx 400 though.

.... The only problem I really have with it is - what is it supposed to be competeing against in the market place for market share?. You seriously couldn't compare it to the new Raptor 350 - it would be a joke to consider it to be in the same class performance wise and the Raptor 350 is a thousand dollars less. I would say the Raptor 350 is really in with the Mojave and the 300ex. The Z400/KFX400/DVX are supposed to be in the same "racer" class as the new 450's for now - but - when the new 450 comes out, will they discontinue the 400's?. It seems that the lines are starting to get "blurred" I guess when it comes to classifying ATVs anymore. It used to be Sport or Utility and that was it - now, forget it. I'm really interested in seeing the new XR650 based open classer they are supposed to be comming out with.

I hate the 450r front end looks, they just look weird. Why did honda wait this long to put a reverse gear on the ex? I would rather have a z/kfx/dvx, they have liquid cooling.
