KFX700 or LTZ400?
Close, but an EX in that price range won't have Reverse, and they're not quite as zippy and easy to whip around. Just get the Z. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

The 400EX is a 2002. So that year doesn't have reverse? Either way, I am more interested in the Z400. I was just curious about the 400EX.

OK, thanks.
It also appears that the Z400 is liquid cooled but the 400EX is not. Is that correct?
I really don't think I want a 400EX anyway. That was just another similar quad that saw at a similar price locally.

The 400ex does have a few advantages over the Z one being the EX is probobly one of the best longevity bikes built (Bullitproof) and since it is air cooled it does have less maintenance than the Z. If ist strickly a play bike I would go EX but if you like speed and a bike you could even take to a track the Z is the way to go!

As of last night the KFX700 was still there. Yes, it really sucks that it is so far away. I would really like to ride both and make a decision after but I don't think it will be able to happen that way.

The KFX700 is sold so I guess I don't have to think about that one anymore. I am still not fully sold on buying the Z400. I know that I would have fun on it and I am sure it is a nice quad but I am not sure how willing my girlfriend will be to ride with a clutch.
Another possible opportunity is a 2002 Polaris Scrambler 500 H.O. 4x2 for $1400 that is running rough & backfiring when it gets more than 1/4 throttle. It probably is probably just a carb or intake issue. Seems like those might be OK as well for an automatic but they just seem SOOOO heavy. I think they are around 100 lbs heavier than my DS650.
