best xc quad for me?

im thinking about getting into the xc racing and getting a new quad maybe next year. right now i have a 2003 polaris trailblazer 400. it does great in the woods and i just got 3rd in a race over the weekend on it. but it weighs 500 lbs, and the suspension isnt too good on it... the engine is amazing.

what would be a good xc quad. i dotn plan on putting bookoos of money into it as soon as i get it. just maybe a pipe and soem good suspension. more later when i get the money but im wondering what would be a good quad to start on. i been riding for 10 years so i dont think experience would be a problem.

and ppl please dont say the ktm, banshee, 250r, or any older/almost 12 grand out of the box bikes.

ive pretty much marked off the ktm, ltr 450 (too wide), banshee, 250r, and would prefer if it were a geared bike. i know the first thing i should do is go and ride all the bikes and see what i like the most but im just looking for a starting spot.

thanks in advance guys!

well how much are you lookin to spen.. a 400ex would be a great quad. but you can also just keep the polaris if you like it and throw some good shocks on it and a steering dampner... dotn worry about the motor... your not gonna beable to use it as much as the shocks...

skip the 400ex dude trust me i would go with some 450

trust me tho the 400ex sucks when it comes to gncc like snowshoe in woods because i was little faster in my class at this i did ok but when we got out of the woods 450's were gone there is a alot of things i would change about my 400 or add

but even after probbally 1-4 months it will get boring riding it
