Hi,
I am looking to purchase a quad, probably used, for mainly desert and dunes riding. Is the z400 a good all around quad for that type of riding? I am not going to race, at least for a few years. The other quad I am looking at is the raptor. Thanks for your advice!

 

i love my z in the sand, it is a rather high revving 4 stroke and does very well. The raptor would also be good but are kind of tippy. I would prefer a z over the rappy, simply because with a pipe on my z, i can beat a stock rappy up the hills(most of the time)

 

Thats all I ever ride mine in. Its great for the sand. Put on a smaller front sprocket and your set up!.

426EX SOLD! Whats next?
Z400


Whaaaat?

 

fill us in

 

I got confused for a minute.
I have a the first 450R coming to my dealership. I guess its going to be mid January now. Damn it. I decided to get a new one, I have Selector to thank. I just can't get over the way Honda's handle, so I am waiting. Got the deposit in, got the rest in cash, got cash for a arms, axle, and pipe. I have the HRC kit ordered, and I am goign to bolt alot of my old stuff from the ex on her as well (nerfs, bars, levers, ect).
I want something fast that runs pump gas, has stock engine and leave it alone inside. I will add a cam and maybe a little port work, but thats it (for now...lol.)

 

Oh sure, just leave ol'Shady clear in the back of the pack! Jeez Krise, everybody buying these new trick wheelers makin the old guy look like crap. Sheesh. Okay. That does it. I'm goin big bore. Alcohol. Whatever it takes. I ain't takin this anyMORE.

You're goin DOWN SANDNECK. Goin down HARD.

Shady, you are probably right. At least thats what Brandy tells me......She is not happy I bought another new quad. I bought her a new Warrior in 2000, me a new 400ex in 2001, her a new Z400 in 2002, and now this, the water is hot.......

 

Hey, tell her you skipped the whole year of 2003 for quad buying. She should be thanking you.

 

I did!
That got me off the couch!
No I am just playing, she is cool, but was kind of upset for a while.
JCMPUNK,
My woman rides the Z400, as you can tell I have sold my 400ex, if the new 450's were not out, I would be buying a Z400. I ride it alot, I absloutly love it. You will too.
