yeah thats the only thing i heard so far that is good about the mojave, that it is Fast, otherwise i here it is a bad old model just built and a new name on it every year thats it umm 400ex would e nice I dont know I dont know if i am eperienced enough to ride with the big boys yet?? but i would actually buy a z400 over a 400ex, i heard that i am better off with a z over a ex any size no matter what the only reason why i hear that i should go with a honda is that they are reliable...

you should look at a new warrior or 300ex a new warrior is $4699 and 300ex is $4799,if not i would get the mojave over the z250 and 250ex,because you'll have a whole lot more fun on a manual clutch plus it's faster and theres nothing wrong with the suspension.That quad is one of the most reliable quads ever built,they have been making them since the mid 80's.

I agree that the z250 is a better buy in some ways , later on i will put mods into it as soon as i get the clutch thing down i am used to automatic, never drivin a automatic clutch. the only big boys ridin out there are the kfx 700 the raptor and the predator. I only planing on beatin out those little honda punks that always try to start a race against my trailblazer 250 lol.. thanks though

You keep asking for help but you don't listen to what people are saying. If you want to waste $4,500 on a new Z250 or 250ex go ahead, I'm sure you can find a million dealers to make a deal like that. You said you want a Predator but then when someone says you can get a like new Predator for $5,000 you said you aren't ready to ride with the big dogs. You said you want a new Z400 over a 400ex but you don't want to spend more than $4,500. If you want a sport quad that you won't outgrow in a couple months AND one that fits your $4,500 new budget, you need to look at either the Honda 400ex (yes you can find them $4,500 OTD new), Yamaha Warrior ($4,500 as well), or even the Honda 300ex ($4,000 OTD). If you really want a Z250 or 250ex (I can't imagine why) - then shop around and get them for a GOOD price - don't just throw $4,500 at the dealer because you will be ripping yourself off. You can get great new sport quads (400ex, Warrior, 300ex) for $4,500, but if you are afraid of the power (you shouldn't be - these are not extreme sport quads like the Raptor, V-Force, Cannondale, 250r, Banshee) at least shop around. The Z250 and 250ex are great machines but I haven't known a person yet (over the age of 13) who owns one and hasn't gotten tired of the pitiful power within 3 months of ownership. You have alot of money to spend on this purchase and if you do it wisely you will be the envy of all your friends - waste it and you'll be kicking yourself in a couple monthes.

Have you thought about modding the Trailblazer. There's alot more power in that motor. A modded trailblazer should beat any of the other 250's you're considering. HPD has a race mod kit for $810. With this kit the Trailblazer 250 will beat a Scrambler 400. IMO, I'd mod the trailblazer and save my money until I could get a 400cc or bigger sport quad.
