Z400 VS YZF450
Well I can tell you that top speed my z400 will actually pull on my buddy's yfz450...... if we are both pinned in 5th his gearing will top out before mine.......
But it depends on what you mean by "keep up" ....... if he is stock and you are modded you should keep up enough to stay a few lengths behind him. I can hang right behind stock 450s with no problem...... no I could never pass them as they pull away out of each turn a little more. I could never win a race unless the 450 rider crashes....lol.....
But in trail riding and fun riding, I can ride with 450s all day and not get left behind...... being 2-3 seconds back in a race is an eternity.....but being 2-3 seconds back on a trail ride is nothing.....

yeah major diffrence between the two machines. the YFZ is a master piece by yamaha and its actually better then thier raptors. To keep up is going to be a challenge let alone beat him...good luck</end quote></div>
that is a pretty bold statement. how is the raptor 700 not a masterpiece? it is a quad that has had zero major problems sence day one. efi on it works better than any other makers efi out there. has so much aftermarket support its not even funny. engine and tranny are pretty much bullet proof. i could go on and on.

Z400 VS YZF450
It just so happens I bought a '03 Z400 for my stepson, '06 YFZ-450 for me and my buddy bought a 05' Raptor 660 all at about the same time. I have ridden all of them quite a bit and I wouldn't trade my YFZ for any of them! The Z400 is a good trail quad, but leaves a lot to be desired. The Raptor has a lot of suspension travel and hauls *** on the top end, but is a little slow around the trails (too heavy feeling). My YFZ has it all light weight, agility, and great power. As you might can tell, we trail ride most of the time, but if we get in a large open field the Raptor will eat the YFZ alive and the Z400 is a "NO SHOW"(lol).
