I'm assuming the blaster is yours?

Yeah, i'd hope that a 200 2 stroke could beat a 250 4 stroke in a drag... you're not bragging about much, the 250ex is pretty slow.

But in just about every other category other than acceleration and speed, that honda is still superior to your blaster. Suspension, handling, stability, braking, rider comfort, reliability, ease of maintainance, convenience... the list goes on and on.

but when it comes down to it, these quads weren't designed for performance anyways, they're an entry level beginners quad. If I wanted a quad in that market, i'd take the 250ex any day. The blaster just beats the hell out of it's rider, you can't ride one of the damn things for a whole day without getting back problems and all that other good stuff. The 250 doesn't attack it's rider like a pit bull. With my warrior as quick as it is, and the 250ex being as doggedly slow as it is, I still have a lot of fun when I hop on my brother's 250 and beat it around the trails. Haha, then when I ride my warrior again it feels like a modded yfz in comparison.

i just got an 06 blaster last night. I'm A TAD SORE TODAY . but its mostly for not using these muscles in 10 yrs between rides like yesterday. I love the blaster. I don't want some slow machine. I had that when i was younger and it want it resonably priced. 5k plus on a wheeler no way.
