Well guys, I rode a Z400 today...

Man, that thing SUCKS!!!! It's the biggest P.O.S. I have ever seen.
LOL! Just kidding!
Actually, I was very impressed. I only rode it on a little stretch of road at the dealership and he told me not to ride any wheelies or anything like that but I did anyways and he didn't mind... all I do is tell them that I race and he will practically kiss my *** so that I will tell the other races good things. So here is the pro's and con's, in my opinion...
Pro's: Very nice, smooth power; Great looks; I could definitely tell that there is A LOT of potential power; Great handling; easy shifting; and easy to find neutral; the front shocks are very smooth but quality looks kind of "iffy". Kind of like the shocks that break really easily on the 300ex's.
Con's: The handle bars are way to short; I don't like the feel of where the foot pegs are located (to far back compared to the most comfortable position on the seat); the rear end feels really heavy... I mean REALLY heavy; the rear shock feels like it is all spring (like a pogo stick as one forum member described it); and the seat is kind of hard but so was the one on my C-dale... it will get softer after a little while.
Well, thats what I noticed and felt. It also wheelied easily and has a VERY nice balance point. Is it on the same level as a C-dale as far as power and acceleration goes...? No, not in my opinion but thats not a very even comparison. Will is blow a 400ex out of the water? HELL YES!!!!
