Default DVX400, KFX400, or Z400

I'm going to purchase a fast four wheeler and I'm looking at these three but can't make up my mind about them. I know the Z400 and DVX are like sae except the fenders and stuff but is there a difference in speed and performance in the three? I'm pretty sure there isn't but I'm making sure before I make the buy. It's either these three or a YFZ450. but I think I need to stick to someting less powerfull. Please leave comments. Thanks alot.

these are supposed to be the same quads. However each has different weights listed in their specs. I know the engine and suspension is the same. Dont know about tires though. YZF450 does not have reverse. I have looked into all of these quads as I am getting ready to buy new if I can sell mine. Out of the 3 z400/dvx400/kfx400 pick the one that you get the best deal on or if you have a color preference go with that. I know that sounds crazy but that is pretty much what I have heard on this site, they are exactly the same. I am partial to the suzuki since they were the originators and the others copied but I do like Kawasaki green.

see I think I he it down to the z400 or th acrtic cat but they both have their downs to me in looks. I don't like the head lights on the z and I like the headlights on the dvx but I don't liek the fenders on the dvx and I like the fenders on the z. But I like the colors on the arctic cat. Anyways are the fenders really as bad as they look in person as they do in pictures cause they look too high. I've only seen a z in person. And before I buy I'm going to test drive it but why test drive em both if they are just alike. we lthanks for all of your help.
