Default Z400 or YFZ?

im selling the warrior, and looking to buy either a z400 or yfz 450, how do you guys like yours? any problems with the yfz? ive heard it can have some electrical problems. can you get a kickstarter w/it? instead of elec? is it worth the extra money?

I own a Z, and have put in a lot of hours on a friends YFZ. They are very different bikes!! The Z is a trail bike and good all-around machine, where the YFZ is more of an MX machine. The YFZ has stiff MX suspension and an engine that likes to rev, so it isn't the hot ticket for trail riding!! I do like the YFZ in the dunes however.

Ditto, If your not going to be racing go with the Z best all around sport quad for the money!!!

No offense to the Z, but the YFZ is a man's bike. The Y is for hardcore riders that like to blaze and not cruise. The Y is the best overall high-performance quad ever made, point blank peroid. Comparing the Z to the YFZ is like comparing a 400ex to a YFZ. Honda has a 450 for a reason. Suzuki is coming out w/ a 450 for the same reason. Reality is a bit@h[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
