The AC 400 doesn't show the new shocks in their 2005 picture. They may be using an older picture.
I like the kfx 400 in orange. If you buy a Z400, kfx or AC, that gives you more dealers to get prices from for the same product. If you buy a Honda, you can only deal with Honda dealers. More dealers = a better price. Hopefully.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Out of the quads you listed the z would be the best buy because the 400ex doesnt have reverse nor is it liquid cooled. The 05 400ex does have reverse but I dont no if your willing to pay that much for a new one. The raptor 350 seems to "tippy" (like the raptor) for a safe ride.

What I'm trying to say is that either there was something wrong with the test method or something wrong with the Z. I believe you, but I know that it didnt happen because the EX is supposed to have more power.

There was a guy who had a new 05 Z and he dyno'd it stock and put out a nice 31 or 32 ponies I believe ...
The new raptor is supposed to be a touch more than the warrior which would probably make it around 19 or 20 ponies maybe .. the Ex is supposed to have anywhere in the range of 25 - 28 depending on who you ask, and most everyone would agree that the pre-05 Z has around 29-30 ...
If I was in your shoes, I'd get the Z for the missus ... unfortunately I'm not in that position .. I'd like to have one for myself!!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
Good luck!
