Default Best Trail/sport quad

Hey yall i've been looking at multiple quads for awhile now. And there are 2 that have stuck out.
Suzuki z400
Yamaha Raptor 350

I need to know which would be the best quad overall.

Thanks

Z is way better. The Raptor 350 is a 20 year old design that has worked well but it's outdated.

If you want faster and better handling go for the Z. If you want something that is completely bulletproof and will be problem free for years go for the Raptor 350.

Raptor 350 or 400ex is what I would get. People say that the Raptor is out dated but its a design thats been time tested and if it wasn't a good machine Yamaha wouldn't make it anymore. It might be an old design but atleast its got all of the bugs worked out of it.

I would say the z400 or the 400ex. Both have plenty of power and are pretty reliable. Easy to mod too.

i would personally go with the z. great all around bike. I use my kfx for hardcore trails and small track riding. I used to have a warrior, which is essensially the new rappy. It was a great bike but the z is much better.
