It all depends on what you are looking for. Some people don't need a 400. If you want a sporty auto clutch bike the z-250 and Lakota are both good choices. The Lakota has lots of torque and power down low, but is a little on the heavy side. The Z-250 is lighter, probably handles a bit better, but is shaft drive, so you are stuck with the factory gearing forever.

If you don't mind the clutch the Mojave is the sportiest, and has the most mods available. Liquid cooling is almost always better than free air. The Mojave probably goes about 63.

I would go for the mojave. It is a great little quad. It will go around 55-57 mph. It is as fast as a 300ex but the mojave has liquid cooling which is a major advantage. There is also quite a bit of aftermarket for the mojave if you know where to look. If you cant handle a clutch go for a z250. Just puttin my .02 in.
