Honda TRX450r vs Honda 400ex (The Ultimate Honda Quad Race)

I hop on my 1999 Honda 400ex and Chuck rides the 2004 Honda TRX450r as we race to see which one is really faster. Which quad do you think will win? #HondaVSHonda, #Honda, #450v400cc,

[@chetdavis4286]

The 400s are damn good quads. Perfect amount of torque. My yfz450 is too fast. It's made to ride fast and keep the rpms up. Not good for putting around on trails. 400ex is a very good balance between race and trail

[@brettfrimmer6567]

The problem is that on any straight the 450s just put bus lengths on a 400. I got off my trx450r riding with a buddy with a 400 and tried his and it felt the brake calipers were frozen in comparison

[@heydude4532]

When you get the grey 400 running do the race again 400 vs 400

[@mixup887]

It’s finally here I’ve been waiting your vids are so dope

[@tomboy1875]

These were my first two bikes the 450 being the first. I bought the 400 to ride when my 450 was broke and also used it for a wheelie bike. Since then I’ve had numerous 700’s, 660’s, yfz450’s, ltr450’s and I’ve gotta say the Honda’s I had were the most reliable and took the most abuse. The big bore Yamaha’s had terrible transmissions compared to my 700xx also it was just heavy as hell. Can’t beat a Honda.

[@fromex2lsturbo]

Sounds like 400ex still needs chain lube 🤷‍♂️.. should’ve swapped riders for 3rd race. Both sweet quads!!

Finally!!!

[@jakohindman2622]

Cool rides. I had a 2001 400ex with jetted carb, fmf titanium exhaust with power bomb header. It was a wheelie machine. Bought a 2004 450r brand new and it was so much faster. Broke my first bone on it. 400ex was slower but better overall. 450r was geared to tall and power came on too strong for my style of riding. I could ride wheelies forever on my 400ex as long as I was on level ground.

[@enjoythesho1992]

The 400 is also built for racing

[@colonialroofingofnorthcaro441]

The 06 and up should be even faster because of the carb change that was done, we put the sidewinder carb on our 05 450 to get that throttle response and went down a tooth on the front sprocket for better pull on the bottom, but we were racing so, it topped out at 70 mph, but we was set unto get to the corner the fastest and get out of it

[@txstrikingtiger1241]

Love my 08 440ex its built with a stage 2 hot cam port and polished head with fmf header and hmf exhaust its alot scarier than it was when i got it cant keep the front end down in 1st and 2nd just learning how to do wheelies

[@timfogle7337]

Ok bro.. its obvious you love wheelies.. I dont know what you have been taught.. but you do have chuck.. set on the quad or bike not running and have them lift the front end. You will feel the balance point and by throttle control and rear brakes you should be able to perfect the wheelie your looking for.love your vids keep it up. Cheers from PA

[@weswilks3865]

The old silver & blue 250R i meant.

[@paulcolletti8727]

Clutch up the wheelies in 2nd & you can ride it out once you hit the balance point. Instead of power wheeling & you don’t have to keep gassing it. Clutch wheelies are easier & cleaner wheelies with complete control. From my quads to my Zx10R clutch wheelies are the same concept. You can wheelie as fast or slow as you want, hold it or ride out every gear. Just shift into 2nd when you feel the power coming on snap the clutch & pull holding the gas at (ONE SPOT) after a few days you’ll be wheeling your whole road.

[@noahcolagiovanni107]
