Id go with the Blaster, not because I like Yamahas, but they are good bikes if you treat them right. If you get them jetted properly from the start and mix your gas & oil right, and dont hold it pen for long periods, it will last forever. Parts are cheap and plentiful for Blasters, and if you ougrow it, put some performance parts on it! You gonna do that with a Z250? Whens the last time you saw a grown man on a Z250? Ive seen plenty of men still riding Blasters. But If your dad is forking out the greenbacks, you gotta go with his choice.

you should throw a good deal more dirt on either quad then on the raptor 80....
the z250 and the 250ex are both really nice bikes..
honda has a cool clutch setup but you can get a manuel clutch conversion for the suzuk...so it really comes down to one all important thing......your favorite color

one more thing.....your dad knows very little about 2 strokes.....they dont require much more maintenance then 4 strokes....and on blasters you dont even have to premix!....however, your dad may be right about one thing....a z250 or a 250ex may be a better bike for you mainly because they make great trail bikes and can handle muddy rocky trail type conditions better than blasters. the price tag of the blaster is really nice and they respond great to mods. but stock for stock, the z250 250ex and blaster are all pretty much the same. i say get a blaster only if you are planing on racing on an mx track, or if you have the luxury of having dunes nearby, otherwise, based on what you have said, i think that one of the 4 strokes may be a better bike for you...

Blaster has no reverse sometimes nice on trails. It's alittle light for mud. In Minnesota if you ride on DNR trails the Blaster with an aftermarket pipe may not cut it. Some of these trails will test how much noise you make and have limits. You would have to check the DNR website to see which ones.
