Just got the September issue of Dirtwheels and they did a shootout between the Z400 and Raptor. The unanimous choice among their test riders was the Z, although the Raptor was faster.

It is good to see Suzuki back in the game after a long stretch of uncompetitive machines. Suzuki is also bragging on their shootout victories in the other classes. Ozark, best 250 sport utility. Eiger, best 400 class 4x4. Vinson, best 500 class utility.

My local dealer has a reprint of 4 Wheel ATV Action's articles that was professionally printed as a Suzuki sales brochure. Honda has clearly been outdone and will need to update their lineup to compete.
