dosnt turn as good as the trailblazer as the 400 has 4x4, but as far as manageing the power, sertainly, its not to much for anyone. i would get the 06' 450 though just a little more kick to it

I would skip the 450 and get the most proven one out there, the 500h.o...

I you dont need the 4x4 the Trailblazer is a great machine.But if steering ease and 4x4 are important look at a Scrambler.

the thing is the trailblazer is always getting suck and the ride is crap. i want to get away from the chain set up as the wife really likes the mud, but doesnt have the arm strenth to handle my 02 500 ho in the trails. and shes already a nut when it comes to going to fast so she would die on a scram. lol.

I guess my next question is, are you a POLARIS die fan??? I find polaris to steer a bit heavier then others like yammy, maybe look at the yammy kodiak 450... just trying to help...

the 450's are out now, i just road one at my dealer day before yesterday, nice little bike for work and play

i had another thought, what about a HawkEye 300? i hear there very sporty and it is 4x4.

i would look at the hawkeye like spider said it has all the features of a sportsman but is smaller and lighter my wife is getting one next year because she did not like the size of the 400. she decided to stick with the trailblazer rather then ride a sportsman she was very sore in the chest even after small rides she just dident have the upper body strength...
