I just saw my first Z up close. It's sitting in the showroom at Action Motorsports in Oregon City. Very nice looking machine, seems well built but rather strange looking chain adjustment. Also I noticed the headpipe seems to be bare metal? Is it at least coated or something, if bare it will rust almost immediately. From the unscientific lift test I didnt feel it was significantly lighter than any other sport quad I've lifted from the front or rear and much heavier rear end than the last 250R I lifted. After the 5 minute once over I was plotting to sell the Warrior and fork over some cash for that Z ! Unfortunately it'll be at least next spring before that will be a reality. All in all, NICE QUAD!
