defiatly the Z400 its has advantages over the ex in ever catagory execpt the cost
i don't suggest a warrior ever though there dependable and cheap they lack power compared to the rest. You might want to consider the Polaras Predator if money isn't the issue

First things first. How experienced of a rider are you and how old are you? That is quite a factor in choosing a bike.

Hmm... I would say a 300EX, Blaster, or the Z250 would be a good bike for you for a few years. If you are a little more experienced you might want to jump up to either a 400EX or the Suzuki/Kawi/Actic Cat 400, or even a Banshee. Personally, I'd stick with a 4 stroke though. Unless you just love to wind things out and shift a lot and mix gas, the 4 stroke will be fine for you. I'd suggest the 250-300 range unless you are quite a good rider on something of that size already.

A good all around bike then at the 400 Range is the 400EX or the Z400. The EX is a little more tame compared to the Z, but I either are rider friendly and shouldn't be too hard to handle as you gain more experience.
