obviously youve never seen an MX race, power has a lot do do with a lot of things, whether you can clear the jump, whether you can beat the guy to the corner, and whether you can pull the holeshot. I know from experience, racing a blaster against 450s, isnt easy, my blaster would be about even with a 400, and a 450 will kill it. over 400 is not just for bragging, its for going fast

You're absolutely right, for most people and most terrains, the Z400 is a great quad. However, if GC is a concern, then..may not be the best choice..s'all I'm sayin.


So, what do you ride? I think all these years I never actually figured that out lol


I have a '06 Scrambler 500 4x4.

He's saying for the trails that he rides. I can relate as some of the trails I've ridden, you can't use the power of much more than a 400.

I could have sworn I've seen you say..several times...that your Blaster would OUTRUN 450s.

Sure, if you're good with a welder and fabrication..not to mention some extra cash to throw around.

IRS bikes dont really even have an axle. the axle you have would be too thick, it wouldnt be an easy task
