cdale or 400ex?
Hey,
Before I get flamed off the board, I know a cdale will smoke a stock 400ex, but that is not what I am going to ask. What I am going to ask is what will be better for me?
I am going to be riding desert, dunes, and a bit of mx track just for fun. I really want I dale, but the maitenence, avaibility, and sheer power are what is holding me back. I want to be able to soundly beat my brother's lt250r, and I don't know if a 400ex can do that. If I bought a 400ex, it would most likely have engine work done to it though.
My question is, will a cdale be to much for me? I am not a first timer, but I wouldn't consider myself a accomplished rider. What do you guys think? Could I be happy with a 400ex, or would I tire of it quickly? I am asking you guys because, from what I have seen, you guys aren't as biased as some other boards. Anyway, thanks for listening to my rants! later

Thanks for the replys, and thanks for the thread thomez. That is exactly what I was looking for in replies. The only reason I don't want a 400ex is that they are down on power. I don't want my bro's lt250r to be smoking it all the time. Does anyone know if he will (vs. a relatively stock 400ex) thanks.
if you ride mostly in the desert, i'd consider a ds650. they have a great motor and handle well. yeah they're BIG and heavy but if you don't have to worry about pulling it out of the mud, who cares? they are as reliable as it gets, would smoke the lt or 440ex, and used ones are pretty reasonable. they are so smooth you'd think you were riding in a cadillac.
