Thread: Z400 Sighting

    Thumbs up Z400 Sighting

    Good news, Q-heads, I saw the new Suzuki @ the Seattle Motorcycle Show. It's looking VERY good. A few items: the seat removal process is simple and straightforward, it has a decent toolkit, the shift mechanism is direct-acting (no extraneous linkage), and the entire exhaust system is unpainted stainless. According to the reps at the show, there is still no exact pricing, and dealer-arrival is February/March.

    I think it will handle the same as a 400ex. The power will be much better, and i luv liquid cooled quads, so i'd probably buy the suk over a 400. that is if the zuk is reliable

    Ive gotten some inside info from a guy I know inside of Suzuki, and theyve tested it against a few other quads already. HEre goes:

    Faster Top speed than the raptor
    Handling as good as 400EX

    That would make it the fastest Quad made, as long as it would out run the Cannondale's.

    Yeah but that is coming from a Suzuki guy. Everyone said the same thing about the cannondale and the raptor and look at them. I just hope I am wrong, 400EX's need some competition.

    the raptor does not, and i repeat does not handle badly. you just have to get some seat of the pants time in on it. not just go by what people say on a honda board. i would rather ride the raptor about 25% of the time. its more comfortable, and it doesnt ring in your ears after a day of riding. however, its not as fast as my quad, but then again, if it was, we would have gotten ripped off!
