    cant have a forum without threads

    I am pretty much die hard honda but I ran across a deal on an
    04 ltz250 for the daughter.

    I thought maybe I would find out a little about it here but there where no threads in this section.

    Ill post a pic of it tomarrow, and maybe give my own review later.

    I looked and looked and then looked some more.
    the 250ex's must be making alot of people happy because
    no ones getting rid of them (around here anyway)
    I drove about 550 miles round trip for this darn zuki.

    I may have to take it to a dealer and trade it off for a honda

    the darn thing has a bent shock on it (stuck really hard)
    I have searched ebay and about a million net sites for
    a replacement.

    it is the exact same shock as my wifes 250ex and the 300ex's
    I called the guy and he was supose to call back tonight.

    I found one off of like a 96 300ex for 20 shipped, Im going to get it then tell the guy about it when he calls back.

    I have 4 kids and the wife
    wife=05 250ex
    kid 1=04 crf70 (they wanted dirtbikes)
    kid 2= 99 cr80 (modded and scary for 80cc)
    kid 3= 99 400ex (just incase I need a back up)
    mine =06 450r (favorite toy at this point)
    kid 4= 04 z250 (not impressed)

    ok around the yard with one bum front shock, this thing
    must be worn out. It will pull the front end up (if I jerk the
    piss out of it). Im not going to jump it with the front like this
    but compaired to the wifes 250ex this zuki wont get out of its
    own way !!!!
    Im kicking myself already for not sticking with honda.

    its got a couple good points, it fires up so fast its funny.
    I mean you cant hit the button fast enough not to start it.
    it does look sporty and really clean. (thats it)

    if you look close you can see the front left (as sitting on it)
    A arm is being held at a funny angle by the bent shock.

    thats just it, I think it took a shot to the front but the rim/tie rods everything looks fine its just the shock. I took the shocks off and put the one good one on the other side just to check motion and its all good.

    it still has the stock tires with prob 50% and the oil looks pretty clean, the air filter is clean but dry.

    I thought the z250 and 250ex where close on power but not the two I have.

    maybe thats why they got ride of it (they where not sure why it was driving funny)

    heck, I can prob get a couple k trading it in on a new one.

    the dang seat hight must be 2 inches higher on the z250 than the 250ex.

    im regretting this one, but the daughter is in love with it.

    one thing is for sure, she's not going to hurt herself on it
    (this thing has no balls, my other daughters crf70 will burn it)
