What can we expect with the new Quadracer 450 that is sure to follow the 400Z?

I think Suzuki will mate the best features of the 450R with the YFZ while retaining the Z400. The Z400 will be the all around great quad that it is, while a 450 racer will be aimed at the new 450 quads. Just like the Quadzilla(which killed everything in it's path).

Suzuki has been a leader in racing and now is no time to hold back.

We can expect an all new 450 machine, since Suzuki does not produce a 450 engine currently(like Yami and Honda). I'm sure it will be EFI, as the new utility bike is.

Picture it, a 450cc machine with EFI and handeling like the Z400. It might even have stock Yoshi parts.

The Suzuki 450 is coming, it's just a matter of when and where.

 

You are talking about a 1 year wait minimum, probably two. I bought the Z400, because I got tired of waiting all those years for a new bike from Honda!

 

Don't think it will be EFI.

And I think they just released a new 450 dirt bike, no? I remember Ridley said it was darn impressive, maybe he will chime in.

 

Well if Ridlley says it impressive its gotta be....he don't like Suzukis that much.

later

In the article about Doug Gust in the new Dirt Wheels he talks about the new '05 Z400 and how they need to release it early to keep up with the competition.....So I think we may be looking at a new and improved Z right away, as well as a 450 next year ('06 model, year and a half away, based on the new 450 mx bike) Go ZUKI!!

Interesting note,,, the annual dealer show is being moved up from September to June.....So models will be available earlier in the year. Dirtbikes got to New Mexico in November this year,,,,thanks a lot. SO next year I think we will see new models hitting the showrooms mid to late summer, when they can sell.

Now how about some new minis?

 

So now your believing what ATV connections shootout said?????? If your such a believe in the Mag shoot out, heres you a comparison to that!!!! DW article in the October 2003 issue:

The predator's mods:
slip-on exhaust
jetting upgrades
handle bars
rear hubs

Z400 mods:
440Kit
Suspension
Exhaust by FMF
Hot cams
Handle bars

YFZ mods:
FmF Pipe

Yamaha won on the track and in the drag race, Kory Ellis was the rider on the Z400!!! This was in the Dirt Wheels October 2003 issue!!! So which do you believe????

 

this atvconnection comparison is all about money just like dirtwheels. dont let it go to your head.

your going to tell me Z400 suspension compares to the YFZ suspension? BS
your also going to tell me the Z400 isn't that slower than a YFZ set up for racing? BS

notice how they try to say good things about each of them..they sure dont want to lose any sponsers or burn themselves from future sponsers.

 

Personally, I hate Yami, but lets face the facts, the YFZ kicks the Z's a$$. This post is refering to the title....how can you even say that?

 

Out on the trail, I would say the Z is more than a match for the YFZ. Way more comfortable ride, and on the trail, all that extra horsepower and high revving engie are just wasted.

In open country or the dunes, where you can ride at speed, the advantage has to go to the YFZ.

 

BINGO!
People just cant see past a Dino chart sometimes....Went out with some friends for some woods riding. (3 sheesw mods/1 YZF450w mods./3 Z400s) I have the slowest bike (the only stock Z400) In the woods only one other Z400 could hang with me. On the street, The 450 left us by 4th gear and gave the shees a run for the money.
