Its very scientific actually. If you take notice lightning is yellow, the LTZ400 was struck by lightning during production. This explains its speed and reflexes. This also explains why the LTZ400 is yellow. The white ones are scared !@$%less of the yellow ones, thats why they are white and thus very fast because they are running for their lives.

I assume your comparing it to a EX, well it's simple the Z motor is more modern and just plainly better built.

I thought it was beacause of the lighter color- less friction from heat?? Right?

The Z400 is also faster than the KFX400 or is it KXF? Anyways since there are more letters in the Kawisaki it needs more graphic, and that means more weight, not to mention Kawisaki has that black thing over the lights, that even more wind resistance, and also go with what bbertram said.

HA, bebertam, who are you kidding, no I've gotten a chance to ride a Z and I was very impressed, but a Dale is on a whole other planet from it.

No, I'm serious I hosed a Moto 440. The DS was scared so he didn't even try. That 400ex ran away and the raptor got beat by the 400ex so he just said, "Forget it." The Polaris didn't make it, he broke down. But those damn GasGas quads are fast. I stayed with him for the first 4 gears then I pulled away, it was close.





lol
