i own a 02 blaster with toomey exhaust and i want to move up to a bigger quad after riding my friends400ex and rapter i relized that the 400 was the quad for me if anyone could give me some advice on deciding to get either the 400ex or z400 thanks

 

If you look around in the honda section and here in the suzuki section you'll find your answer. If you want modern technology and more hp than a 400ex you get the z but if you want great handiling you get the 400ex.

 

I have heard and read that the handling was almost virtually the same wasent sure about axle strength and stuff like that

 

Z400, by all means.

 

Well, I have a Z, as does my girl. We couldn't be more happy with them. And if you do any trail riding what so ever, you will realize just how important reverse is. I must've used it like fifty times today. It's sweet. It handles every single bit as well as the ex, has liquid cooling, is way faster, costs about the same, I mean damn, I don't even have to keep going on do I? Oh yeah, I jump the helloutta mine with no axle problems and I'm 175lbs. It's a very sweet machine and there just is no way you'll be disappointed.

peace

 

thanks looks like im gettin a z400 anyone know the sellin price on a 02 blaster with full toomey exhaust kit

 

oh yah and what was the price OTD on the z400

 

Just got mine today, and OTD was $6000.
I see on here that one guy is sayin $5100 OTD, but $6000 is most likely close to what you will be paing.

 

I paid 5099.00 out the door but that was in Jonesboro Arkansas at JT Motorsports. And I signed a farm card also. I picked up a 2002 Ozark for the Wife while I was there and he let me have it for 2999.00. In comparing it with the neighbors Recon there is really no comparison. It does everything better and the choke and reverse are all handlebar mounted and work great. If they would make an Ozark with about 8 inches of suspension travel I would buy a couple for my kids. Oh well 400EX's are getting cheaper around here and kids don't mind hopping off and pushing them backwards every now and then. I've seen 400ex's actually sell cheaper than 300exs used which doesn't make any sense to me at all.

 

Yah thats what ive been doin with my blaster alot i tend to wheelie off into bushes or when i fall off it ends up going into a bush and i gotta push it out which isnt that much of a pain but i wanna get the z400 cause of the speed and wasent sure if i get a pipe on the 400ex if it would be as fast as a z400
