I think the 230E and Z250 would be pretty close. But they will both beat a Lakota and 250EX. As for the 230E vs. Z250, it would probably just depend on who got the better start and who was the better rider.

I'd have my money on the 230 for sure. One with a cam would definately beat a stock Z250. If all bikes were modified, your only concern should be the Lakota. They are heavy, and a little lunky, but I've seen ones that were fast.

the lt230 would beat them all in a drag stock for stock and yours would smoke them. The 230 has the worst suspension of the bunch though.

improve suspension with better shocks and longer arms lighter wheels and better tires. The modifications you do can improve straight line accel and in the woods. There are comprimises to suspension tuning so you will find it difficult to be the best in both areas. i guess it depends on where you want to be fast, straight aways or on the trails or on a track.
