My little brother is 15 also and the same height and weight too as you. He has banshee. Honestly he doesn't like riding my KFX450R yet and he's been riding since he was 7. He says when he gets on my KFX which is rare, he doesn't feel like he can handle the power because it feels like your going faster than you really are. I think this is due to it being very responsive to the rider.

Remember its totally up to you, you have to start somewhere. My little brother is looking to get a 450 when he turns 17 or 18 though.

yes the 450 will have a considerable amount of power over your 400.... but its up too you you know riding level.. if you feel you need more power, then you basically answered your own question...

another thing to remember a bike only goes as fast as you make it.....

Thats pretty much what it comes down to....your riding level. If your looking for more power or better handling try to mod your quad to better suit your style. If that doesnt work then look into the 450 after very carefully thinking it out.

like alot of people are saying its how well you ride and if you think your up to it i am 15 and had my 15 yr old friend thats about 5'10'' and maybe 150 or 160 ride my ltz and he said that it was alot of power for him too handle, but then again he does ride a schucks 150 dirt bike, but im 6'0'' and 250 and i could handle it fine i have ridden 450's before and do fine so its up to your riding level and yea i can probably handle it better because im bigger but you will just have to ride one to find out

when i went from my 400 to the 450 i just rode trails and sand pits until i was used to the quad and comfortible to jump with it. its not like your going to be going from a 250ex to a 450. if you feel like you need more power then your 400, then you'll be fine.
