ZR is classified as a performance sled and the ZL is classified as a trail sled. Same motors in both but the ZR has a stiffer suspension including shocks and springs. ZL will be a softer ride with softer shocks and springs. As far as price, is it a ZR or ZR Cross Country? ZR will be less money then a ZR Cross Country. Cross Country has a little different suspension then a stock ZR. CC has a stiffer setup and different graphics. With the new 2004's coming out, the guy selling this machine is going to take a big hit on selling it!! I would say the buyer is in a good position here. Don't get carried away on your offer!
