Default Raptor or Z400?

I don't know of the wheeling ease of the 400, but the raptor is also a wheelie machine. It is not heavy at all, it might look big but really it is a simple machine to ride. I was a newbie that started in this machine so I should know about it. Where are you going to drive it? Trails, track , dunes, etc. I also say the raptor is not tippy at all, if you know what you're doing. The 400 has great soft suspension, and the raptor has the power and not to bad suspension. Overall, these are great machines. If you want something fast I suggest you go with one of these two machines, the rappy 350 is just like a old warrior which is not to fast.

So if you're are intereted in the power more than, the little advantage the 400 has on suspension I suggest the rappy, it's comfortable, reliable, modded really easy, and it's not tippy and likes to wheelie. So there's my opinion.

the z 400 will be faster on top end but i think that the 350 might hang out of the hole and yea the 350 is verry easy to wheelie on and the 350 is a great trail bike mine rides great and has verry good power the 660 seemingly has many problems search on the form and just find out and if your going to spend all that money to get a 660 just get the 450 yfz it will kick the 660 azz ive seen it done time and time again and the 450 will ride 100 times better than a 660 too plus they look better

Lol, ok.. Well this isnt gonna be a easy decision but i just want a nice quad that i can wheely for a good distance and i can outrun the cops on cuz i kno im going to be.. 3 quads wheelying down the road together great chance to have them called. So I kno a z400 has a good balance point does a 350 and the yfz 450?

The raptor had many problems in 2001, like the tranny,stater, clutch an more. But it was all fixed in 2002, so know if you don't maintain your quad often if will have reliability(spelling) problems. It's a matter of how much you take care of your vehicle.

You like the way the 350 looks? It is one of the fuglist quads i've ever seen.(NOT BASHING) Stupid yamaha, they made all their quads look the same like the raptor looks like the YFZ.
