hi guys here in australia a z400 and a 400 ex are the same price $ 9990 i no this is a suzuki forum but which do u think is the better bike and why....thanks

 

Whaaaaaaaaat???? A Z400 & 400EX cost $9,990 !!!?? How much do bicycles go for $5,000???
If so I'd stick with the bicycle!!! LOL!!!
As to your question, theres ALOT of topics here already that would satisfy your question
I think.

 

id go with an 2005 z 400. its new upgrades look nice.

 

My comments from the Honda forum:

I have both, so I have no reason to BS you in any way! The EX is the better choice for tight trails. It is without a doubt, the best trail bike ever made!. The engine lugs down and pulls at low speed. The Z engine is more revey, and better suited for more open trails, and wide open country where you can rev it out. Handling on both is excellent, with the Z having a slightly lighter feel. The EX doesn't have reverse, but I can live without that. Both seem to be trouble free and durable. The Z engine is far more high tech, but the EX engine is bulletproof. The EX has won a bunch of desert endurance races, although it is underpowered compared to the current crop of bikes. If you ask me what bike I would depend on to get me home from a 60 mile desert ride, it is the EX.

 

think those prices in australia are bad try living in Ireland a yfz450 costs about 9500euro. i had to fork out 3000euro for my zilla. And to buy extras you could die at the price.
