z400 by far nothing wrong with raptor but yellow looks better

 

if you are running mx you might have to go with the z, depending on which class you want to run.

mx i would say z. Its more track ready, as it would take thousands to make a raptor an true mx bike. I would also consider a trx or yfz 450 for your applications. both are faster than the z and even closer to race ready, the yfz most of all.

 

hands down go with the z, better handling, and can beat a raptor in the woods and is probably pretty close on a track.

 

The z/kfx handles hella better.With a few mods you can take the stock rappy too.

 

it really doesn't matter which quad you pic......if you are going to MX race it you are going to change the a-arms and shocks on both......I think I would pic the raptor because it looks better IMO and it is faster (fact)......
I guess just pic what color you like and roll with that

 

Sure it does. The weight and the placement of the weight in an ATV makes a huge difference for the amount of effort you need to put in to get proper handling.
