And I was thinking about getting one? Man, anyone over 5'9" need not apply. I'm 6' 5" and when I sit on an EX it looks like a 90. The Z400 would look like a 50 or something. American stuff is made for bigger dudes and it kinda limits us in what we can buy. I don't mind what I have, and I can't shrink, but I like the looks of the Z400.
We need bigger Asians over 5' 7" designing this stuff!
Oh well, I'm done ranting.

 

Dude! the DS650 was made for you and me![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I know what you guys are talking about. I like to ride on tight trails and fire roads, so I need a machine that is nimble and small enough that it doesn't clip the rear wheel on every other tree. I look at the Z400 and think this might be the next coming of the 250r. Yet I am 6'4" and 280#. Anyone remeber the scene "fat man in a little coat"??? That is probably what I would feel like on a Z. I had a Banshee and felt fine on it, but that is definately not a woods machine (engine wise). From a big man's point of view, how does the 400EX/Z400 and DS650 compare in "comfortableness" to a Banshee? How is the DS in tight woods?

 

Their is no camparing a DS to anything else as far as Comfort is concerned! I have owned a Banshee,and a 250r and the DS is MUCH more comfortable. I do not ride "tight" trials so I cannot give you a honest opinion on that, but their are some guys in Bomb forum that do ride in the trails quite a bit, and they love their DS's also.

BUt I think for a big-man wanting to do tight trail riding, the Raptor would be Very appealing(seat hieght,,and REVERSE). But if its Fire roads,and wider trails, The DS would RULE!.

I', 6 foot, 5 and half inches, 190 pounds, and the Raptor feels just about right for me...

Good luck,

What is wrong with you guys? saying the Z400 is too small??? Are you all okay?... I heard somebody saaying it was "blaster" size.. GOD, some people in here are seriously messed up.. I need to go tell everyone I see riding a 400ex that they are FAR too big for that quad, whatever.

 

Binford, it's the tall dudes in here complaining. The only sporty quads we can fit on right are the DS, Raptor and I like the scrambler. Go sit on a 90 and you'll get the picture.

hak231, you had a Banshee? That looks pretty small too but I never sat on one.

 

I'm 6'3"... I don't even complain on a 300ex,, let alone a 400ex or a Banshee..

 

lol, just because someone posted an unfounded "review" people are now panicking. just look at the specs, it's the same size as the 400ex and WIDER than the raptor. do some researching people and try not to believe what everyone says.

 

my buddy is 6' and rides a blaster, he still likes it, I doubt the suzuki is way to small, I think it is very very close to 400ex in size but 1 inch lower seat hight or less maybe.. I would not rule it out......my .02 cents
