Faster - Blaster
Durability - 250ex
Reliability - 250ex
I'd buy the 250ex...I think it handles better, is much much more reliable, and is fast enough to be fun. Blaster just feels like a really small kiddy bike.

The blaster is the overall better bike, and the power differentiation is ridiculous. Its a better comparison to a 300ex and the blaster is still more powerful than that.

While it may not handle the best out of the box, its still a great machine. And replacing those balloon tires will do a lot.

A new Blaster with a few modifications is a good starter for a wide range of new riders. That is what I got for my GF to learn how to ride a 2 stroke on. She has only had a 1990 fourtrax 200 until this. Which do you think she has more fun on? Check out the pictures...

I would have to guess your thinking of a 250r, lt250, or tecate-4.

from my experiences the blaster is way faster in accelleration and top speed, imo it handles pretty good, put on a pipe and silencer and your ready go, honda 250ex-slow compared to the blaster, not much you can do with the it handling wise, its got a diffrent swingarm/rear suspension setup which doesnt allow you to do mod with out great lengths and money. your better off with the blaster if you looking for a start off bike. Its over all better enough said.
