if they are your only two choices I would go the Z400 it is the 2nd biggest sellin quad on the market only yamaha700 raptor sell more.So something has to be good about them, mate of mine has an 08 special edition with yoshi pipe and it is not far behind my raptor in drag races or trail riding. there is also a heap of aftermarket stuff for the Z400 to make it go fast. I would of bought a Z if I wasnt 6ft 5 just a little cramped for me but I still had a blast ridin a mates b4 I bought my 700 Raptor

Thanks for your thoughts and experiences. Good to hear that people are happy with the suzuki because I just bought a 2010 model. Rode it for the first time today and loved it. I'm only short so it suits my height well. Good to hear they can take a beating and have some go fast gear available. laughing
