Just wondering if I should get one these thats on the topic.I have rode the 250EX and 300EX and I think that the best was the 300EX because it felt like it was more pumped up and I have no idea how the Blaster rides.

I’d get anything but a Blaster. Those things ride like a buck-board. A good comparison for the blaster: just think of a basketball bouncing down the court.........

The Blaster is the fastest, and lightest, and cheapest of the three. It's a two stroke, and it has no reverse. It has a six speed manual tranny. It is extremely peppy. Handling is not it's best quality, due to its short wheelbase, but it is a great bike for the money.

The 300EX handles the best, but it's a little underpowered. The reverse and choke setups are miserable.

The 250EX has shaft drive, and an autoclutch. It handles decent. Power is OK. It seems like more of a beginners quad. My buddy bought one for his eight year old, and he likes it.

If I were you, I would ride the 300EX and the Blaster, and decide from there.

The 300ex and the blaster are the fastest. I have a 300ex and raced a blaster and it has went both ways. The blaster rides pretty good. I don't know where this other guy said it was like a basketball bouncing up and down. The 300ex probably has the best suspension and the best handling. The blaster is very peppy. The guy that I raced loves his, but now he is selling it because it is too small of a 4-wheeler. A blaster is also a great buy for its price. A 250ex isn't that bad of a 4-wheeler. If your just looking for the sporty look without sporty suspension, engine, etc, the 250ex is your choice. If you want something sporty, reliable, and an all around great 4-wheeler than can be modified to beat just about any 4-wheeler out there, get the 300ex. You can't go wrong. Mods or no mods, the 300ex will still offer all the power you will ever use. The blasters downside is it 2-stroke, meaning it will need maintaince or however you spell it. No reverse, which most of the time you don't need, but is always helpful when you don't feel like getting off your 4-wheeler. The 300ex reverse and choke are a pain. You might as well not have reverse and choke on it. The reverse and choke are located in horible places. The choke is worse than reverse. If I were you, I would get the 300ex. That is the most popular 4-wheeler around here. I would have to say that there are no 250ex around, and I can count the number of blasters on my fingers.
