    I bought a quad....

    Picked her up last night and am really stoked to go ride! I haven't ridden a quad in many years but always liked them as much as trikes so it should be pretty fun. It is really clean and appears to have been very well maintained, it still has the factory paint markings on the bolts and everything. I paid $1800 which is cheap here in CA, these go for $2-3,000 all day around here.

    Cellphone pics.....I'll get some better ones later today. *****NEW PICS ON PAGE 2****









    In the back of the truck on the way home



    After riding for a while I plan on upgrading the suspension to either 450R shocks or something similar since I do ride MX quite often, if you have any suggestions please chime in!

    It looks really clean. How does it compare power-wise to your 350x?

    I am not sure how it compares to the 350x as I haven't got to really ride it yet you know, and yea it's a 2002.

    I looked up the bolt pattern and the rear appear to be the same as my 350x, I have some ITP holeshots I'd like to use on the 400EX anyone see any reason why my 350X rims wouldn't work on this?

    Nice score. 400s are bulletproof if you maintain them that has to be one of the nicest original ex's ive seen.

    You got an awesome deal on that. Right now a guy who lives 2 houses down is selling his 2001 400ex for 2800 and its not half as nice as that.

    '85 ATC 250R
    '86 ATC 350X
