I bought a lakota for my kids and they have ran the hell out of it w/ no problems. I let my wife ride it in West Virginia and she totaled it. Bought a new 250ex 6 months ago and totally dissapointed w/ it. Untill you have had both of them , You will know which one is best.
So i would buy a lakota, It is a much better quad.

 

ya the lakota is abetter wheeler u gotta love the z though

 

I bought the z/400 to run w/ my 22 year old son. Tired of being laugh at, He rides a banshee. Now i laugh when it is time to put it in reverse, because he has to push.

 

id take my z over a shee anyday how much faster is he i beat ur right with him on tight trails if not ahead

 

He is alot younger than i am. so he has a little more guts than i do, But on a oval flat track i beat my son and all of his friends. I bought a quadzilla 500 last week from my brother. It still has the original piston and rings. It is a 1990 model, he got married in 1992, His big hipped wife would not ride anymore so its been in storage all these years. paid 3500.00 for it , so i feel i got a good deal. Where do you ride.

 

wow thats a good deal i ride up in new york i can hand with raptors no problem on the trails and tracks
