Looks like a little more competition for the Pred is here. At only 350 lbs, if those things are solid it should be a winner. The z400 frame issues are a demonstration of weight savings going a bit too far imo though. Well the specs are in what do ya guys think?

It should be a HOT machine, a MXer's dream. It will probably give everything a run for its money.

it should be a blast of 4 stroke tech,at 350 lbs with an engine a lot more efficient by displacments,the dimensions seem real good,well balanced,it will be fast if not the fastest tough...

I'll just have to get both, and compare my Preddy to the Yammy 450 myself.........

404cc Banshee up for sale once I get the fresh top end put together after yet another yearly rebuild of a 2 stroke!

This could actually be Yamahas first quad with decent handling.
If it only weighs 350 pounds though, I would definitely expect the MX track to claim a few frame/suspension casualties. You can only make um so light before you end up with structural problems.
Hope it’s a great quad though, the choices just keep getting better and better.

Yea, time will tell. Should be a nimble ride. Anyone hear of a release date yet? I sure feel for the Honda crowd. They must feel like they're floating in the ocean w/o a motor. Lot's of loyalty there.
