My brother in law was first in line at the dealership to buy one the weekend it came out. Since it was brand new he paid MSRP ($5699, i think?) better than the 400 ex cuz it has liqiud cooling and reverse, but is not as powerful as the raptor. I ride the damn thing more than he does so i can say that it is a great machine: smooth, sounds great, powerful, i like the way the seat is designed, amd wheelies like a champ. If you're considering getting one, i say go for it

wheelie machine

the z400 beat the 400ex & the raptor in dirt wheeles quad shoot out. It beat the 400ex because it has liquid cooling & reverse & 6 more hp. It beat the Raptor because it out handles it. The raptor has brutal power & torque. I dont ride off road, so i went for the power.


But that z400 i bet rips a MEAN wheelie.

I wanna ride one, i want my raptor & a z400.

I love my Z. It's great for trails and really good for wheelies. I used to have a Raptor but it used to sputter when doing 12's but the Z has no problems. It turns and slides way better than the Raptor too. The Z is probably the best all around quad.

I have a 99 banshee, and its power is too snappy, and really violent. Id rather have a four stroke, much more easier to handle. That new Z400 is sweet. I will be gettin one in the next couple weeks.

400z stunter

This is Casey Huizenga. He stunted his Z for a little while after a GMO show here in Vermont. The kid was doing some impressive **** on a stock bike! He even had the jumping over the bars on lock down!

We sell them at my dealership and they are BADASS. It definetley feels better than the raptor. If I were to buy a quad it'd definetley without a doubt be the Z. I just sold one to a guy today for $5450OTD... List price on these things is $5699. If anyone wants one, come down to me, I'll get it as cheap as possible for ya.
