I am 15 5.9 and i have only owned 300ex's i finally sold mine cause lets face it, it was down on the power side. But yesterday i drove a 400 for the first time, i have dreamt of that day for a while. I fit it perfectly. I instantly was powersliding and wheelieing like I had never done before. Ahhh can't wait till i get one.

 

dsapp.......

yeah..i am not gonna buy my new 400ex before the z400 comes out...im going to wait and see how the outcomes are..if its flawless and theres nothing wrong with it..mabey i will look into getting the suzuki...but i would be kinda skeptical about getting it...cause after all ...it is its first year..and i would think that there would be a few problems w/ it...but i could be wrong

 

Before you know it you will be wanting a big bore kit! Good luck and have fun![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Im 15 and 5'9 and 200lbs., my 400ex fits me real good! I have seen small peeps ride 400ex's, even the big DS650's! I wouldn't get a Suzuki Z400, I would trust a Honda over a Suzuki anyday!! Nothing beats Honda Power and reliability!!!

 

I love honda and all but suzuki comes in second just because things in there class has more horsepower a lot of times. And I think the 400Z will do fine and not have any serious problems. That engine has been out for awhile and they claim it to be bulletproof now. Unless they go and change a lot of mechanical things converting it to a quad, It should be fine for a first year quad. Just because it is a first year quad doesnt always mean anything. Dont let the raptor scare you, j/k. The 250ex's I know arent anything in high performance and fast but they seemed to well thier first year. mainly because that motor has been around awhile. Good choice on waiting for the results on it though. I cant wait til my payments are gone so I can get a 400ex or 400z or whatever they come out with in the future.
