I sure hope its faster than my buddies neighbors friends Blaster.. I know it won't handle as well, or have quite the superb braking of a Blaster, but I sure hope I can beat him in a drag race.....

 

Let's see....less power than a 400EX but wheelies in any gear? That sounds a little knutz to me. I look forward to seeing the real thing in action, instead of all this conjecture and speculation. Is Suzuki ever gonna release this thing?

 

Bring it out.

 

First, I would like to thank those of you that spoke well for me.

I have nothing to gain or lose by telling people what I was told about the bike. I'm not a dealer, so you won't buy one bike or another from me. I just relayed what someone else told me. The person that rode it, races a 400EX, and he felt cramped on the Z. He said it felt slower, but they did not race side by side. A smooth power band can actually be faster but feel slower. But then again, a motor could have good HP and move a bike very well, but not enough torque to make a quad fast. A chassis can make a slower bike wheelie very easily. A stock Raptor and a stock DS are about the same speed, but the Raptor wheelies much easier due to the chassis. All I wanted to let people know is, check one out in person befor dropping your hard earned money on speculation. It MAY not be all it's been expected to be.

What's up with the attacks? Did I pi$$ in someones Weaties without knowing it?

 

I am thinking about getting a Blaster now, What does your friend think of them?? I know they make less power, but will they outrun a Z400? I think the Blaster would be a better buy since the Z400 is obviously so cramped a 2 year old would bang his knees, so I need a quad with more room, aka the Blaster..

Knutz- i agree with you. I think there will be a lot of dissapointed z-400 owners in a couple of months. lol

Why would you make a decision based on what one person has said in a forum? The Z400's aren't even out to the general public yet. I'm sure the Z400 will have no problem handling a slow, undersuspended, crappy braking Blaster. Just wait and see for yourself before buying something you might regret.

lol, the guy who test rode it owns a honda, thats the problem right there. ofcourse he's not going to be like &quot;oh well the z400 felt like it would absolutely rape my 400ex&quot;[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I don't think so.. Just because he owns a 400ex doesn't mean he would dog a machine that was designed to neuter it.. I have heard from too many people here that the Z400 is gonna be underpowered and junk..[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I MUST believe them.. I MUST.. I think the guys who tested the Z400 we getting paid by Suzuki, as everyone has said, as part of a clever scheme to get us to buy one... (((((BuyARaptor)))))) (((YouCannotWin))) (((BuyARaptor)))
