z250 speed??
Underpants for riding in the yard just go for the Z250 and have fun on it, we bought our Z250's for riding in the yard and we couldnt be more happy, They are perfect bikes for the money but not the greatest, for riding in the yard you dont really need the fastest bike out there, or the best suspension out there.
Just get something and have fun riding.

You simply cannot mod the Z-250 dollar per hp like the Blaster. With a manual any routine maintanence on a Blaster is simple. And you learn somehting that you can take to your next bike. The Blaster may not be the best bike for him to start on. Maybe it would be. It all depends on what he wants. Underpantsnomes, you need to list all of the things you want from an atv, and the things you don't want. What do you expect from it? How long do you plan to keep it? What kind of performance do you expect?

You know it always amazes me that someone will post a thread and by the time it gets to the second page it always turns into a blow out of opinions that aren't even relavent to the original question at hand. It is hard to believe for some of us but there actually are people out there who don't care about speed, racing, hill climbs, wheelies, dune shreading, jumping, and any thing else that usually requires perfomance. Some people just enjoy riding at thier level and want a good simple machine that doesn't require alought of thinking.
People save the performance advice for those that ask for it, and chewbacca you earlier stated the 250ex is slower and bla bla bla. I have rode both-they are very close in comparison so get your facts straight!

I thought I made it understandable that I was just joking around in that post about "people and there stupid advice". If not then I am sorry. I mean I dont like to be one who has enemys and I was just trying to help the kid out and I didnt take it to all the performance statements and that is why I said people and there stupid advice because the topic started drifting to which quads were better and all that. I was just speaking my mind to him about how the Z250 would be a great starter bike because I had a very good I dea on what he was looking for because that is what my situation with my Z had been and everything worked out excellent.
Mbrooks please calm down. No harm intended on my part and I can see how I sounded a little biased but that was not the intention so...

Yeah, unless it's fully raced out. Some of those kiddie bikes haul. How often will you be riding with other bikes? If you think you want a manual then the usual suspects are 300Ex, Blaster, and the Mojave. The Mojave has reverse, but is a kickstart like the Blaster. The Mojave has some mods available, so it can expand as your skill does. Its a little heavier than the Blaster, and maybe a little bigger but not much.

Underpantsnomes3, A blaster would be better for you if you are going to be racing other people. If you could handle the maintenance then it would be a very nice starter bike. In all honesty I did not even know about the Z250 even being made when I was looking for a quad. I had my mind set on the blaster. Then my gramps just went out and bought me the Z and that is what I got but I was not going to sit and complain. so Maybe the Blaster would be better, I just know that the Z worked for me but maybe the Blaster or 300ex would work better for you. It does suck having to look for the few parts that are made for the Z and while looking for those a person tends to realize that there isnt anything on a blaster that cant be modded.

Glad you have come to a decision. Just make sure you also talk all the options out with your parents because maybe they would have some nice input also. I think you will be happy with whatever you decide to get because it is your first quad and you dont have any expectations for the quad to live up to.
