Hey im about to go up and look at some quads on saturday. Im hoping to bring another addition home. I currently ride my dads vforce 700. I love the power but i think i need something a little lighter. Im a beginner but i love to jump. We also make a few trips a year to the dunes so i need something that will keep up with dad.

Im 6 foot 2 and weigh about 180lbs. The dealership im going to carries honda, suzuki and yamaha. I talked to the guy on the phone and he said they have a suzuki 400 and a limited edition raptor (guess the plastics are all black). I am wondering if you guys think the z400 or the raptor would be a better quad for me. We will be doing drag racing in the sand and medium sized jumps. I need to have enough power to keep up and be competitive.

Thanks guys

 

Drag racing and keeping up with (or ahead of) a VForce? You're gonna need the Raptor. The Z is a great all around quad but for draggin' your gonna need more motor. JMO. I'm sure the Yamaha guys will be here to help ya out a little more. Look at the YFZ if price doesn't matter, but, from what I hear it maybe a little much for a beginner.........
