Ok so im kinda thinkin.

Ive always loved muddin thats what i used to do before gettin into goin fast.

mudding is so much funnn
im thinking about sellin my 416ex and buyin like a rancher 420 or some thing.

what should i do?

i love goin fast and jumping.
but it seems like my loud ass bike just gets me in trouble at the local spots.

To me the new 4x4 utility machines...they way they are made from power, speed, comfort, suspension etc. you can really have the best of both worlds  ,where with the  racing machine you don't  ...granted you can't do the jumps and various things with a ute....but I've seen some riders just rock on ute's  .....put simply with a ute you can go everywhere (granted some limitations) but a racer stops at the edge of the mud!!

I made the switch a couple of yrs ago. I had a Raptor that was the sickest machine I've ever seen, I mean hell, It would even outrun smokes, Dynodon's and Cutngrs  banshee's  (come on with it)

seriously, I love riding where you have no idea what you're about to drop off into. That gets the adrenaline pumping.

Like it seems like i can really only enjoy the speed at croom and places of that sort.

all the local spots if i open it up its like immediate kick out

Make the switch.  People I know actually switch bikes every few years.  They ride a sport quad for a few years, then they switch to a ute for a different pace.

You won't know until you've tried it.

If you decide you don't like it, you can pickup another sport bike.  Just make sure to get a suzuki this time

[them450rboyz]

Haha sorry rebel.

Only ride hondas till the day i cant ride any more.

[k.p.]

ive seen guys jump 250 recons..

thats the bike i want. a recon. they're fun little machines that dont break and i can beat the hell out of it. i dont need one of those big ole brute force's*even though they are awesome*, i just want somethin that gets me from a to b while havin fun..plus they're cheap!

[Fox17]

you could buy my 86 TRX250. its not a 4x4 but it does great in the mud. runs great. needs brakes. i have the front pads but have no time to install them. then you could keep the 400EX too.
