Today I bought my first quad after shopping all the closeout deals. Started looking at the Raptor 250 (felt like Mario Kart.. for me anyway), so then I turned to the Raptor 350, until I saw a 2008 Honda TRX 400EX on sale for the same price. I read a lot of forums and reviews on comparisons of the two, and felt the Honda was best for me in terms of trail ride and low maitenance. So I signed the papers today.
I'm about 150 5'10" and 32, so i figure this thing will last me for a long time for my needs, which is mostly trails. I'm not trying to kill myself, but will mod as I get comfortable.
The only thing I bought from the dealer was a helmet and goggles. The helmet i could have gotten mail order $30 cheaper, but it was local business, so it was money well spent.
I would like to know what I should get right away mainly for safety and protecton first, for example nerf bars, skid plates. Stuff I need or "should" have. I would also like reccomendations for durable parts for the price. I need to save as much as I can for a trailer!
Oh and I'm glad to be here!
