    I don't know about now But My GF had a 04 250 ex and my buddies wife had a LTZ 250 and the Suzuki beat the 250ex barely. Now with the sport clutch I think the 250ex has the edge

    ill tell you right now that it couldn't. The 250EX comes stock with 229cc, and the Z comes with 249cc. I'm not hating on the 250EX because I used to have a yellow and black one until i upgraded. But, I no for a fact I couldn't. Looks wise though its a tough decision.

    So the way you're looking at it, a 250r couldnt beat a 300ex? 20 cc's barely makes a difference. The 250ex is about 20 pounds lighter than the z250 too. (the old ones atleast) Again I think they are so close it all comes down to the rider.

    yo say what you want, because my friend has a 250ex and my other friend has a z250, and I raced on the z in just a drag race, flat and straight, and i won so you can think what you want, i know what is true.

    i've ridden both. its hard to tell because my 250 is not exactly stock, but i felt that the EX had more punch to it than the Z did.

    the Z's handling is far, far better however.
    Respect is earned, never given.

    the 250ex is not as fast but it makes up for it in parts available and suspension
