Well the z and kfx are the same thing so either one of those or the 400ex. Personally I would go with a brand new 400ex over the Z, I know not everyone is going to agree with me here but I love that bike. Make sure you test drive everything you can before you make a purchase. Good luck.

I would probably go for a 400 class quad also. You get a great all around atv, something that will give you years of faithful service with proper maintenance. There are only 2 reasons I can think of to pick the 400EX over a Z clone, and those are $$$ and /or being a diehard Honda fan. Either would make an excellent next step, possibly even the highest step for many riders.

Yes, both are solid and reliable quads. The 300EX will handle a bit better, while the Raptor is faster. Both are a definate upgrade in performance over a 250EX. My only concern is that if you are getting bored with the 250, then stepping up to a 400 might make more sense at this point. Of course, a lot depends on your age and financial situation also.

The DVX is a Z400 in different clothing. The 05 model did NOT get the shock/engine updates that Suz and Kaw got. You should be able to find a nice 300EX or Warrior for not to much more than a clean 250EX should fetch.
