I'd have to agree with blasterdevil2. I ride a ute myself, but i find myself riding the 250 alot more often nowdays.

Wow, Chet. I thought I was the only one who figured out the Recon as a bed thing!
Just take a blanket for a makeshift pillow and head out to the woods. Deep in the woods! No phones, dumbarse questions, just silence- blessed silence!!!

 

I have the 250EX and it is a fun dependible little machine. Its weaknesses are its small size (anyone over 5'8" is going to feel a little cramped) and the suspension. It sounds like the new Suzuki has better suspension and is a little bigger and faster. I would definitely compare them before getting the Honda. See how they fit and feel to you.

 

I want to clear up somethin....one of the first replys said that it is a recon with different shocks and stuff but really it drives nothing like a recon does...just wanted to clear that up all though he mite have meant engine wise...just wanted to clear that up!!!

You are correct. It is based on the Recon frame but with many improvements made in the handling, weight and braking departments. With that being said I would think if you like the Recon I am not sure how you could not like the 250EX.

RaptoryFM660r, I guess I've been trying to nap the wrong way. I always try to put my head on the gas tank.(the air hose on the tank presses into my head) I'll have to try it the other way with my coat under my head. I never do get a good nap in because I'm always listening for coyote's and black bears. Once awhile they pop up out no where. (Usually I do the popping up out of no where.)

 

i believe a 250ex is a very good machine myself but ive heard people say a z250 is better what do all have to say bout that

 

i have to say a 250ex is a very good machine but ive heard people say a z250 is better

 

matter, How many people do you know that have the Z250? The 250EX has been out since 2001. How long has the Z250 been out? I do agree that the Z250 will be competition for the 250EX.

 

i dont know anyone with one but i said i heard the z250 was better but i dont think that so dont go puttin words in my mouth.
