i think its a pretty easy decision but i want to hear it from you. who thinks a 250ex could kick a z250's as.s

Posted by: firefighterjosh

I don't know about now But My GF had a 04 250 ex and my buddies wife had a LTZ 250 and the Suzuki beat the 250ex barely. Now with the sport clutch I think the 250ex has the edge

It's all in the rider

ill tell you right now that it couldn't. The 250EX comes stock with 229cc, and the Z comes with 249cc. I'm not hating on the 250EX because I used to have a yellow and black one until i upgraded. But, I no for a fact I couldn't. Looks wise though its a tough decision.

So the way you're looking at it, a 250r couldnt beat a 300ex? 20 cc's barely makes a difference. The 250ex is about 20 pounds lighter than the z250 too. (the old ones atleast) Again I think they are so close it all comes down to the rider.

yo say what you want, because my friend has a 250ex and my other friend has a z250, and I raced on the z in just a drag race, flat and straight, and i won so you can think what you want, i know what is true.

Posted by: ryanh250ex

i've ridden both. its hard to tell because my 250 is not exactly stock, but i felt that the EX had more punch to it than the Z did.

the Z's handling is far, far better however.

i think the 250ex is faster 2 ive rode both and it felt like the 250ex had more kick to it

the 250ex is not as fast but it makes up for it in parts available and suspension
