Is the z400 faster then the raptor?
#11
I paid $5299.00 for my Z so out the door it was around $5800.00 (I pay tax so that I can get it registered here in Ohio). I have never seen a Raptor for under $6000.00 I have seen some advertized for $5700.00 but when you call about it and talk to them they add all kinds of hidden fees on it to bump it right back up to the $6500.00 mark. Price was a pretty big hitter for me, I like the Raptor but for the money the Z is a buy that is hard to beat.

Barelylegal- I tried to point that out before, but it seems like no-one believes me.. I think its cause this place is FULL of little kids or something. I wish I knew a friend that rode a raptor(I do know one but his crap is ragged, go figure, its a '01), cause I'd like to know for myself. the closest thing I've had a shot at was a new banshee- and I haven't lost to it yet. The Z really rips, I'd bet money it'll hang RIGHT next to a Raptor in the 300ft.

So you've been saying the Z is faster than a Raptor but you've never actually raced one? Not even your friends ragged out 01?
When some one actually brings a Z to the drags at Atoka I'll run them & then I'll say what happened. I won't shoot off my mouth when I don't know.
I hope the Z is a very fast quad that can hang with a Raptor, Mabey then Honda will bring out something bigger then someone else will bring out a better sport quad & so on & so on! We all benifit when some manufacture raises the bar.
What I can say is I've beat stock Shees, Piped Shees, Ds650's, FX 400's, Bajas & even other Raptors!
I've also been beaten by all of the above.
I know my Raptor isn't the only quad out there & if some one has a better quad when I'm ready for a new one I'll get that quad.
I hope I'll get to choose frome a C'Dale 650, TRX-450F, YFM-426, Z-650 TRX-650 or something like that.
It's hard to win or lose against a Raptor until you've actually raced one.

Whoa., I NEVER said the z is faster than a Raptor- read my first post on this thread a little closer before you criticise..
AND, I have raced the '01- and won, but I realize thats not a good measure- so I didn't bother bragging about it, Okay [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Its cool. I want to see myself, but I just don't have the opportunity-yet anyway.. I do believe the Raptor will ultimately be faster- buy I just think it'll take more than 300ft to show it. That, and the other downside- Raptors- just like banshees, will gain more from mods (should, anyway, I sure know banshees do!)
My bud Is looking into getting a Toomey kit for his shee, if that happens there won't be anymore wins for me..[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
