Recon any day. It has racks to do more than just ride, shaft drive for less mantaince, auto clutch, and it will last longer.

I'd vote for the Recon too, for obvious reasons. Isn't this a bit like comparing apples and oranges? The Blaster is a full sport machine, while the Recon is a half sport, half utility.

i'd say a blaster. they are more lightweight, fun and easy to wheelie, and good jumpers. plus, there are way more mods you can do to a blaster (or any 2 stroke) to get going even faster. in a race it will beat a recon. it all depends on your needs though and what type of riding you do.

Well, depends on what your going to do.
MX-Blaster
XC-Blaster
Hills- Blaster
Drag-Blaster
Utility- Recon

The Blaster is made to be a bike you can play around on and also be very competative. The Recond half sport half utility, in other words a sport/utilty

I don't know why you would even compare these two bikes, but I would take the Blaster. If I were into hunting or farm work and such, I would choose the recon.

I would choose the recon. I think that the blaster is very chinsy. I don't trust the mechanical brakes on it. I have never ridden a recon. But it is a Honda so I would choose it.

I would take the recon anyday over that 6 month lasting 2 stroke motor. The blaster might have a little more pep but when the recon is running 10 years down the rode and that 2 stroke need a rebuild which one is more fun now.

Blaster is a emtremly reliable motor and even though its a 2-stroke you DON NOT have to rebuilf it ever 6 months. The only people that have to rebuild their motor ever 6 months are people that ride their atv extremly hard. Just because its a 2-stroke people assume the worst. State what you know, not what you guess.

My Blaster is 5 years old and has been riden very hard without one single problem. Very reliable machine and very fun. It just depends on what kind of riding you want to do.
