stock to stock who would win??

i have read on this forum that the Z400's are faster than a 400ex but how do they compare to a ds650 or baja?

thanks

 

in the 12 Hours at La Tuque the DS650 Baja was 1st and the Z400 was 7th

 

Now you did it bill!! The suzuki people will be up in arms (LOL)[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

I better defend Suzuki's honour. My Z will beat any Bomb !! hahaha Just kidding, I don't think it would be much of a competition on drag races and long hill climbs. The bomb would beat the Z probably. But on the track, short hills and trails I think the Z would beat it. Its all about where you drive and what feels good to you. I looked at the Baja DS650 but it was very expensive compared to my Z, I don't regret what I bought though. Good luck on your decision, either way your going to have a blast.

 

bbertram....I totaly agree those Z400 looks like they would be killer on the track and trails!! The Z's look like super nimble machines.

 

They are very light. I'm used to pushing or lifting 600+ lbs machines in the mud. The Z is so light I can pick it up with one arm, I love it.

 

in an open out drag i spanked one like i was racin a 400ex ..tight track and trails... didnt try it be dont think i could hang

 

At Sand Mtn. NV over Memorial, there were several Z's there. On drags of any kind they flat out fell to the DS. I think thats a given. A 250cc difference is much more of a replacement disadvantage for the Z to make up. The Cannondales are fast on flats but they didn't show very strong on the long Mtn. Thats where the torque of the big bores shines. Remember that HP isn't everything. Just answering the question, not starting anything.

And i seem to recall they did not do to good aginst a 400ex either opps did i say 400ex i meant 440ex.not starting any thing either just helping to report the facts.

 

Boy looks like you guys are out in force for a friday night rumble.(LOL)[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
