i was wondering if i get a z if i can compete with the big boys like raptors and predators. i realize the z is 260 ccs smaller than the raptor, but when they are grouped for racing, are z400 in with the raptors, or is the z in a slower class. are wheelies as easy as a raptor, what is the topend difference?

 

haven't done much racing with raptors and haven't seen a pred yet but this bike wheelies really easy and it handles well. how big of a track are u racing on, the handling and fast rev would make up a lot of dif?
later sparx

 

My piped Z keeps up with my friends STOCK Raptor very well. He can slowly walk away from me on a long straight (fifth gear pinned), but I beat EVERYBODY off the line in a drag race. A piped Raptor, would give me a lot more trouble.
