Barely Legal, You are falling for hype if you believe a 400 with bolt ons is going to get any where close to 60 rear wheel hp. That must have been a Predator 90 you were racing. The Predator 580 engine's and the 686 rappy engines barely make over 60 HP and I can assure you we did alot more than bolt on's to get it. Dollar for Dollar the 400 will never come close to the Predator in a drag race.

The Z's a nice bike, just need a better (stronger) frame.
LOL! You make that sound like a minor problem.

Ok, go ahead and be ignorant then. Just trying to let you all know. It's $1000 past what I've spent in case you were unsure. Do you think it takes 5 grand to make a quad fast? Oh, BTW, go to thumperracingusa.com and ask what their 470 kit puts out. I've seen them dyno at 59 HP. They claim 58-60. The one that dynoed had the parts about that I mentioned that I do not have. If any of you want to race, bring it by. I've kilt every predator I've raced since I bolted on a few mods. Sure you might be putting 600 kits in Predators soon. I won't doubt the numbers just like a Raptor can put out 67 HP with a 686 kit and all the other mods. 60-70 HP is good power to me is all I'm saying. All of these machines can do it and the Z is race ready anytime people.

Barely, I'm not talking about modding the snot out of the machines. Just when you take a look at the big picture, the bang for the buck, and so far the reliability, the Predator seems to be a better choice. When you can even go to one of the Kawa/Suki member's website for instructions on how to reinforce the frame. That's the area I was talking about. There are a lot of machines on the market right now, there are pro's, and con's to them all. Not flaming here, just stating what I've read.
