i like both and both are awesome bike, but for the price and the years dont even thikn twice about it go for the Z!

 

I concur in full

 

or you could clean up your worrior real nice and trade it in for a new 05 z400. its better than the old z's. it has a new carb, "hotter" camshafts, and new front shoks. try and haggle the sales rep at the local dealership, if your not getting the sale price for your worrior threaten to go to a different dealer ship. if they want you to buy from them that bad they will bargain with you

 

1st off they wong give you squat for your warrior and secondly get the z400 but dont expect to beat any yfz out there at all unless you get motor work done
maybe thru the woods you may but not in a drag

 

Go for the Z it is lighter,faster,better stearing, and an all around good quad!!!!!

 

yes, the Z is lighter, faster, better handling, but i dont know a bought "faster" , but faster is a general word..

 

Thanks for all the replies guys. I know I said I could have gotten a better deal if I had CASH. But I don't have $4k cash, and I have no credit which is my reason for financing. I bought the Z and still have my Warrior, which is for sale, but I'm in no hurry. Went riding today and the Z (stock) is definitely a big difference in all aspects than the Warrior (stock). Without trying, I had it straight up several times, and it jumped beautifully. Went around a berm and bent the right tie rod. One wheel straight and the other all the way to the right. I'm glad I got the one with the extended warranty, if this will be covered. The quad will be in my gallery once approved. I'm very happy with it.

 

What he said ^^^^^ [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Z all the way

 

They are both overpriced, I would keep looking..... But if you are set on one of the two bikes I would say go with the Z400 because the raptor in question is a 2001....
