04 TRX 450r
Pro's..... bullet proof engine, responses well 2 mods, happy 2 cruise along or go hard, kick start (so u can store it 4 ages then pull it out & it will start up trouble free) good size fuel tank & isnt thirsty even with mods, light, reliable
Con's.... kick start (@ the end of the day when your buggered or when your in mud & all your mates decide thats the best time 2 roost the sh*it out of u)
could have a bit more top end when in 5th gear, badly under rated !!!

TRX250R
1986
Pros;
Really light,
best steering geometry ever (well there are still being copies made)
great big gobs of pre power valve two stroke power,
guards are easy to get off,
simple electrics,
easy to rebuild
And its Old School Cool
Cons;
Its old and not as easy to parts for as a modern quad.
the chassis needs lots of gusseting
the seat is too low

700 Raptor; PRO'S Heaps of power, excellent trail/enduro easy to ride always been reliable, bullet proof motor (touch wood) good range of after market/performance parts available, sounds fat with the Dual DMC's.
CON'S, not the ideal quad around an mx track, they may only be 10 -20 kgs heavier than the 450's but in the air they feel 100kg heavier, thumb throttle alittle touchy i wish it had a throttle like the Honda TRX400

TRX400EX
PRO's........
Good steering geometry and a well ballanced bike
Great allround bike for trail/enduro & the missus can ride it, all it needs is a quality slip on pipe, wheel spacers on the back, bar risers and nurf bars
Great step up bike for teenagers but able to keep experienced riders happy
Probably one of the most reliable engines ever built!
CONS.......
They don't take well to 440 kits (get very hot, blow gaskets) but respond well to mild engine mods
