Ok, now I removed the YFZ from the list as it was originally made for the track.
It's gonna be the Z400 or TRX400X. I see that the specs on the Suzuki seem better. http://www.moto123.com/atv-specs/Hon...400&year2=2009
Liquid cooled, fuel injection, higher compression ratio which I dont really know what means, wider, higher ground clearance which I don't think is true, because I heard it is very low. But is it any good on un-even terrain? Will the engine, clutch wear out? As it's made for going fast?
On the other hand the Honda is good for going slow, and, ye it's a Honda. It actually looks better too, and because it's at the same price, it must be made with much better quality.

Some ATV manufacturers measure the Ground clearance from different points. If both ATV have the same rear tire size and are straight axle I cant see one having more ground clearance then the other. The lowest part to the ground is usually the rear brake or rear chain sprocket to the ground.

The Suzuki is a DOHC motor vs the Honda's SOHC motor ,that my be a advantage over the Honda as well.

I only wanna know if the Z is the same good on slow un-even terrain? Will it wear out if I ride it much slow? Is it the same good as my raptor 350 on un-even terrain?

Why is your grammar so bad? A few spills without a helmet maybe?

Thanks for your off-topic comment.
As you can see obviously, I'm from a country that has their own language which's completely different, and makes it much harder to use english. I've learned most of my english myself aswell.
Why should my comments be in perfectly order btw? People do understand me aswell.
And also I ride with a helmet everytime.
