Went to fay Myers motorsports here in denver, man that place is HUGE!! Ill bet you dollars to donuts the building alone is 2 acres, no SH*t. anyways they had three Z400's two were sold and the third was just waiting to be bought. They look cool I think. Sat on it, it felt good, like everyone said it felt like a raptor, but not as high, the seat heighth felt really good. The swingarm is funky looking in person, it is literally square and flat. But the frame looked really sweet the tubing is fatter/larger diameter than the 400EX sitting right next to it. I wish I could have ridden it, but the OTD costs was 6399$ heck you might as well get a Dale, only a little more, and way better, but anyways just reporting on my find today. way to go suzuki.

 

hey trout, i sat on one at twin peaks powersports (longmont), looked like a yellow raptor too me but when i sat on it felt more like a 400ex way small too me, but yea it looks way sweet. i like the color of the frame.
by the way where r u going memorail weekend?? i'm going to walden, couple for other members will be there??

 

I wish someone could ride one and give a report.

 

Boy, Suzuki is really giving us guys in the South fits. No dealer within 300 miles from here hasd one yet[unless they came today].

From what I've read, the Suzuki is going to be a super nice quad. It is going to appeal to alot of woods racers for sure with the reverse.[You guys should see some of the courses that we run]

We are supposed to get our shipment of the Z400's this week sometime[cross your fingers]. I will post my thoughts on the quad after I ride it.

Congrats to Suzuki for releasing anything other than another QuadRunner.

 

Rode one today from usa motor sports in goodyear was not impressed 400ex feels more stable and not much less power. due to the fact that you can buy the 400ex and install a 440 kit and bye bye Z400 for about the same price i don't think there that good of a deal.and lets face it we already know all the flaws in the 400ex.and have learned how to deal with them.so for all you bummed honda boy's don't sweat it.there not that far ahead of you.

 

azsand, the msrp on the z400 is the same as the msrp on the 400ex. for the price of piping, jetting, and putting the 440 kit in the 400ex you can pipe, jet, and add the yoshimura rev kit to the z400. adding the pipe and rev kit on the drz400/e/s motors completely changes them. the revkit bumps the rev limiter up to 11,000 rpm and the cams make it pull through the midrange and top end like a yz426. the 400ex is a nice machine, but i can't see not wanting to spend the same money on a machine that is supposed to handle just as good, be faster, and has reverse.

 

The MSRP might be the same as the 400EX but as Trout stated, the price he saw on the Z400 was $6399, that's some serious dealer prep charges if you ask me!! I realize tax is included in that price probably. And you know Honda will now start discounting the 400EX to make the price gap even more. For a couple hundred more dollars, buy the Cannibal (built in USA BTW) and have the best quad available.

 

Yes but no one pay's that much for a 400ex.the one my daughter slaughterd me on was 2002 out the door was 5,219 and 890.0 mods and you wil pay msrp for awhile on the z400 im not saying there not worth buying. just remmber the frist season of the rappy.and the ds a lot was lost to buyers on these bad boy's.

 

disturbed, how far away is walden? I might try to set that up with my riding buddies. well see.
Were going to gypsum this weekend to ride some trails.
