on paper it should beat the EX everywhere maybe even in the handling department! i know i'd trade my EX in for one. i guess i'm a suzuki man for life.

I would wait a year or so to see how it holds up to beatings and flaws and everything. Just like the raptors now they got it fixed but 2001 year raptors have problems with tons of things from what i read on bluetraxx.

Yep, that Z400 is going to blow the doors off of the 400EX & Raptor. It looks like it has the same geometry as the 400EX, so it should handle well. I can honestly say I'd consider buying one of those if I got rid of my 400EX. But I'm with Nausty on this....I'll give them some time to prove the reliablity and work out any kinks they have....


Hopefully this will push honda to slap that 450 in the EX frame.... ;)

I think its gonna be an awesome quad. I'm guessing its gonna have some small problems though. If they are pricing it the same as the 400EX, they have to be cutting corners somewhere.:eek:

Actually, I think it'll have some small stuff that'll get fixed in it's 2nd model year but nothing like the Raptor's tranny. I'd wait for the 2004 version but really wouldn't be scared to buy the 2003.

Why do people think that the Suzuki is going to have problems? Is it because its not a Honda so it must not be reliable? How many of you restrained from getting the 400EX when it came out, just because it was new? Thats what I thought. Me personally, I am getting a job over the summer to start saving up for the Z400, I want that thing SO bad. I almost dont care how it handles.

Ummm I dont believe anyone out there said its going to flop. As for my one post about it being a suzuki and it having problems because of that...I was joking if you couldnt tell. :huh As for it having problems, I think it will be fine. The motor has already been in use for some time now, so the powerplant should be good. The only concern I would have is if they have the tranny setup good (ie heavier clutch, stronger gears...etc). Other than that, it should be a strong runner.

As for your statement of how you dont care how it handles....thats going a bit far, dontcha think? I'd want a quad that handles pretty good out of the box. As for the handling of the Suzuki, if you look at it, its the closest design to the 400EX thats come out from another quad company. It will handle well.

Most people think that the suzuki will have problems because it is a new quad. Look at the raptor it had plenty of problems and look a the c-dales they had some problems. But that is why they have recalls.

The z-400 should be an adequate ride. If its better than the res tlike they claim.........I might consider one. am I allowed to say that since I am a moderator...........or do I have to chant how great the 400EX is until the day I die? peanut gallery????????

Say what ya want...chances are you're not the only one thinking that. 4-punks Boom-ba-yay!

Not trying to be a dick but a fast***** quad with handling as good as the 400ex is here already, the CANNIBAL.:D

p.s. the mags are going to say it is the best quad on the market the first report no matter what, just never listen to them...:rolleyes:
