The one thing I didn't like about my Z was that it was a little bit revy. On a very slow technical trail, it required a lot of clutch slipping (but nothing compared to the 450's!), so I really prefer the 400EX for technical trail riding. Sounds like the new fuel injected Z has more bottom and middle end, which might make a big difference???

Sounds like there are frame and suspension improvements as well. Wonder what Honda will counter with???? Funny that Kawi and Yamaha, don't even have anything in this class....

 

Yeah Dirt Wheels and Quad Mag both loved it....... I'm kind of green with envy ..... wish I had EFI .....
