so he should get a 400ex becuase youre goint to be "beating"( dont know what youre into) z's for lunch.......
well im convinced i think i should trade my z in, im sure i can trade my z for 2 ex's
on a serious note, those ex's are pretty bad, i just prefer the power, suspension, and comfortablity of the z, oh yeah, the new updated technology is great to.

Both are good quads it just depends on what you are looking for. The Z has a little more power out of the box, and a bit better susp so it would be a bit better for trail riding and cooler in the heat due to being liquid cooled. But that is just more parts to maintain and break especially if you have any thoughts of taking it in the mud. The EX is all around a simple design and a tried and true reliable quad with very little maintance. The EX can be found cheaper and you can spend the extra money on perf./susp. upgrades that would make it well outperform the Z. There is a large aftermarket following for both so parts is not an issue. Just kinda comes down to weather or not you want something that is good to go stock or if you want something to build on.

GO FOR THE 400EX. I HAVE ONE AND I LIKE IT WAY BETTER THAN THE Z. IVE RIDDEN THE Z A FEW TIMES. I JUST LIKE THE HONDA BETTER.
could you like it way beter because you have to because you paid for it? or is it realy beter?

but the z is a more comfterble ride a
ive had 2 ppl that own Z's ride my 416. my friend liked it n said it was better handling n felt more comfortable in that seat and the height of it, and klutch rode it , but idk , u can ask him.he just liekd the lowend on my bike.
if i were to get a biek from the beginning , not ever owning a
Z or EX , id go for the Z, just cuz its liquid cooled and has a bit more power. although as my bike sits i can beat stock ones , never tried modded (Ahem..jesse)
EDIT: but now that i have my EX. i dont want a Z , i dont feel the need for one , if i upgrade itd b to a yfz or 450r.

about the suspension, i dont know if its from coming off riding a warrior, but it feels like elkas to me!!!! i love the suspension, but yeah youre rigth abotu the grab bar thingy, but that can be easily changed.
i rode jauns bike at the hump and seminole, his seat is comfortable as heck, and the bike sits pretty low, i like the way it feels. If my z is workin for your b-day ride, then we shall race
, but the way things are looking i seriously doubvt it.
