im goin 2 get a z400 or the honda 450 i go 2 RR and i also want 2 start ridin on the track. what r the pros and cons about both and point me in the right direction.
thx

[Fox17]

you cant go wrong with honda 450R. my friends dad just got one and loves it.

[klutchbuster400]

well how many trips do you plan on taking it to river ranch, and to the track, z's are about as good as a 450r on the track if you know how to ride it, and the z has reverse, which would come in handy on the trials. but man are those 450r's pretty sweet. If youre going to ride at rr more, i would take the z.

[Chevy1500z71]

if ur serius about track than y not an ltr...

[fdatv]

i dont have the money 4 a ltr and reverse would be nice but i cand do w/o it
what bout the raptor 660?

what bout the raptor 660?

they are powerful, but cows, i like to think of them as cows on steriods, fast, powerful, but heavy. A few buds of mines have one. they happen to get stuck in the mud more often just because of that.

not made for track. too heavy. go with a Honda 450r. they are awesome.

How much do u think i can get 4 a 2001 warrior in great shape w/ some mods??

[TRX450R_Racer]

I would NOT buy a 2005 or a 2006 Z400 because of the problems with the clutch cover corroding away. The only way I would buy one is if the dealer put a 2004 cluych cver on iy before I took it home.

Im sorry but I do not think you guys know to much about Raptors then.


Raptor 660 Specs.

Z400 Specs.

398 = Raptor

372 = Z400
____________
26 lb. difference is not alot, and the power more than enough makes up for it.
There is also no way a stock Z400 is as fast as any stock 450 on the track either.... It is your choice, all are great choices but the Z or Raptor would be more all around, while the 450 is a refined MX/Trail quad.

actually, i find 20 pounds a big difference, try lifting the front end of a rappy, and then the same to a z, you'll notice its way easier to lift the z then it is a rappy, i dont know if its just me but i find twenty pounds a huge difference.

as for your warrior, im not sure how much you can sell it for, i have a pretty much stock 01 warrior in good shape, and may be able to get about 2k, maybe a lil less.

thx 4 the replys

I understand where you are coming from, and 26 pounds is a pretty big difference, but not a crazy big difference. As I am 6'-3" and 260lbs. the 26 lb. difference doesnt really concern me, but thanks for helping me realize....
