paintball for life Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 from what i read in dirt wheels the z400 is lighter, faster, and has better suspention then the 400ex. and it has reverse. it is also liquid cooled but i havent really seen any and most people havent ridden one so i am just wondering on you opinions. thank you oh guerues of atv wisdom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stclark816 Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 My dad just bought a brand new Z. It runs pretty good. I would take the Z over an EX anyday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 I'd go with the new EX. Looks better now that they've updated the plastics...I've also ridden a modded Z..not very impressed with it. Not that the EX could spank it, but if i'm gonna be slow, i wanna look good doing it...

sp1tekiller Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Z!!!! The 400ex is very underpowered, the Z kills it in every category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RNBRAD Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Z!!!! The 400ex is very underpowered, the Z kills it in every category. 321997[/snapback] Exactly what I would of said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H250RHATER Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 put it this way if doug gust is destroying the 450's in mx w/ his z400 u should get the z plus did u get the new edition of dirt wheels they had z400vs the 400 ex and the z400 spankied it in every aspect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKJK Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Everything dirtwheels said is true.i have a 03z+my bro has a 02ex.In my opinion the z is a much better all around ride.With a few basic mods they are exelent woods,trail,pit+mx quads.

locogato11283 Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 put it this way if doug gust is destroying the 450's in mx w/ his z400 u should get the zplus did u get the new edition of dirt wheels they had z400vs the 400 ex and the z400 spankied it in every aspect 322019[/snapback] if you think doug gusts z400 is only 400 cc you are wrong. they have that engine built clear up to a 450 im sure. in fact its prolly more built up than most of the 450r and yfz450 it races against. i wouldnt be caught dead riding a 400ex. they are slow as shit and very underpowered even compared to the z400. i would bypass all these beginner toys and go with a 450, even if it is a honda...

rjvoight Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 The EX is just out classed anymore. Honda has neglected her almost as bad as Yamaha has neglected the mighty 'Shee over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richybanshee Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 (edited) hey ledofthezep we joined the HQ site the same day, and the memeber numbers are almost identical. If you are going to spend money on a new quad, buy a YFZ450 or a Honda 450R. The suzuki 400Z is better than the Honda 400, only because is faster. Consider that honda ATV's are very reliable. I preffer the race ready YFZ450 or Honda 450R, but that is me. Edited February 14, 2005 by richybanshee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
