im looking to buy a new quad but i am stuck between a kfx 450 and a trx 400  both 2008  i have a good deal on the trx 400 but i dont know if its worth it

First thing that I have to ask you is how much experience do you have, where do you ride and is speed a real issue. I've been around quite a few machines and all in all the 400 honda is a very reliable and managable machine. If you do a lot of woods riding like my crew and I do the faster race machines are a handfull. I ride a 87 trx 250R and after a few hours of riding I feel it. The kfx is a very capable machine in the open and on tracks but it will wear you out charging through the woods. One of my brothers had to have the 450 Kawi after a good long ride he is ready to swap his wife for the EX. Upkeep on both machines are very important to say the least but one of the noticeable problems with the Kawisaki is that the plastic and fueltank have to be removed to change the plug. The 400 may not be the flashy new machine on the showroom floor but if you want a machine that has stood the test of time it has earned the title “Most Reliable Sport ATV on the Market” years running.
