This may have just been a difference in break-in times and whatever other variables exist on newer quads, but in the most recent ATV Sport magazine, the KFX was actually a bit faster than the Z. It posted I believe a 2 or 3 mph faster top speed and beat the Suzuki in a drag race. Is there any mechanical advantage of a Kawi over a Suzuki these days, or is this just coincidence?

both quads are the same. made by the same people. just different plastics
you can have 2 bikes built at the same time by the same person and 1 of them will be faster than the other one

It's my understanding that for '05's, the Artic Cat, did not get the improvements like the Z and KFX.

This is a little-known secret, but I'll let you guys in on it....

The yellow z's have a 6th gear!

That is correct. No upgrades for the Arctic Cat.
