[QUOTE="mxbundy, post: 356055, member: 21862"] Eddie, I havent ridden a 400EXC or MXC only my SX and Stricks, so I dont have a good comparison between the two. But I can tell you the reasons behind my getting one. I have had YZ-400`s and still have a WR-400 and my 250F. I basically like the 400 for the same reason that I love the 250F. You ride it all day and have a grin ear to ear with out tireing out. It feels alot lighter in motion than the 400F`s, almost as light as my 250F. It still has a 6 speed, so mph is not a problem. But pure raw horsepower is not its forte. It gets the job done with smothness and finesse. Last time we all went out to Phelan, Desert Racer and I raced up the big sand hill. He got me on his 520, but I actually got the jump and he could not make it up untill the last third of the hill. ( note, this hill climb is about a quarter mile long, and at a steep incline ) And I spot him a good 50#. But dont confuse smoothness with being slow. My bike doesnt " feel " no where near as fast as a 426F, not even close, but guess what. You have to ride the snoot out of it to pass me on one, and then when the guy is tired I`ll get him back. This whole thing got started for me because at the WORCS race at Lauglin last year, I was on the 250F. I got a good start but could only watch as all the riders on the bigger bikes waved By-By on all the straights (this race was almost like a full blown desert race ) . It was extreamly sandy and my bike would only pull 4th gear down the straights. but you know what, I ended up winning my class. I never really got tired and I just out lasted them. So I got to thinking that the 400Sx would be a good compromise, light but with more power than the 250F. And so far it hasent dissapointed. Its like this Eddie, the 520 probably make for the funner PLAY bike, but the 400 I think will make the better race bike. Especially for enduro`s and H/S racing. Just to sum it up, Mike Lafferty himself told me, 400 TO WIN-520 TO GRIN! :p Bundy [/QUOTE]
