Does the Z400 fly like the old LT230?

I had an LT230E and it flew awsome. I purchased a new Kawi 250 and it's weight does not seem balanced. It might just be me. But I do miss my zuki. I heard that suzuki placed the motor further back wich gave it a nice balance. It seemed like no matter what the jump was like it always flew straight with maybe a slight rear drop. It also had a good center of gravity. Unlike my mojave witch drops its nose every time and feels tippy. A friend in the same situation says the same thing.

It's probably one of the best flying quads I've ridden. Perfectly balanced. And I still haven't bent an axle yet. Lord knows I'm trying.

It flies great and is easy to flick around in the air. Wish I could say my axle isn't bent but I can't!! Lonestar replacement coming asap.

it'll make your 230 feel like it was a hang glider

My mojave just nose dived too whenever i jumped it. The Z400 is light and easy to get up in the air. Its a nice jumper.

Juggalo, Thats what I'm talking about. If you found that perfect launch ramp it would just hang there (or so it seemed to) and land with a plush "foof", and yes, it also was easy to flick around, it was almost like it was part of you. Thats the best I can explain it, it was quite some time ago. But I have been looking for that ever since. I took the pics of the zuki and "new" (HA) kawi 400 and put them side by side and it's so funny. Talk about kawalazy. Guess they could not come up with it themselves.

It's simply the best. Feels great when you land it perfectly, but forgiving enough not to toss your *** off if your jump isn't so perfect. It proved that to me a few times, that's for sure.

Mojavez400,

Have you faced a Cannondale? Just wondered if you could beat it. Haven't ridden a Z yet, so I was curious.
