I went riding with a friend of mine last night. He has an 05 Mach Z. When I was looking at the sled, I have honestly say, this sled's electronics blows away the Yamaha's. Backlit displays. I think it showed everything you would want to know. The lights even stayed on after the sled was off. There were lit buttons on the handlebars. Very nice. He tossed me the keys, and that is where my excitement ended. I did not go 50' and I said, this feels like driving a Yugo compared to mine which feels like a Mercedes. I did not like the rider position, my knees were hitting the cowling. It felt very light weight in that you would get tossed around. The steering was very good. It was a nice sled, but not for me. I could not be happier with my Yamaha. Maybe some of my thoughts would have come with any 2 stroke. I am glad I made the switch to the fourstroke line. One last thing, for part of the night he led, that 2 stroke smell really stinks. I don't miss that at all. It may be fast, but not my cup of tea.
 
I rode my buddies 05 Mach Z last year. It definitely feels light and steering was also light but very responsive. I had to really ride it for awhile just to get comfortable.
