Im interested in buying a honda 06 400 ex or a kawi 06 or suzuki 400, their in my price range new , which is the better quad , most of my riding is woods trail , hill climbing, some jumpimg , wheelies and just going fast on a good handling quad , i believe the kawi an suzuk with the liquid cooled an duel over head camms should provide better horsepower but whats the best over all ride, i want a comfortable ride too ???[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

 

I like the Honda for very tight, slower, technical trails. It has an engine that doesn't mind being lugged down.

The Z (and it Kawi clone) has an engine that likes to rev and doesn't like to be lugged down so much, so I pick it for faster trails and more open country.

Both have excellent handling, and are actually quite similar. The Z certainly has the more buildable motor.
