welll my marine buddys got a z250 and z400 in 2003 0r 2004, but i was wondering if they were discontiued or what cause i really like the size and that it had a clutch and chain[ or atleast i think it did?] unlike the 250ex .. anyone know what happend?

250z's are cool look'n, great for beginners and play'n around, but there SLOWWW, so they aren't that popular with experienced riders. And of course they still make them!

Now if they made them more racing orianted (like the mojave) They would KILL I can just imagine, A liquid cooled, doch 4 valve, high rev 250z. It would be like a little ltr450! I would totaly buy it!

so what would i be better of on a 250ex or a z250?

A 250ex, way more aftermarket parts and better reliability. 250z's are cool looking but are geared for beginners and younger kids. Either way you'll be dissapionted.
