What type of riding will you be doing?A blaster is a nice small bike that is a two stroker and will be similiar to the Warrior in terms of speed with a little less torque.I wouldn't get too attached to the two strokers.All of the top bikes are now 4 strokers and they are the way of the future.Other than the blaster and the banshee(both very old designs) I don't think there are any other full size two strokers made except the Polaris trailblazer 250 but you are probably above its level already.My point is pick the bike that is at the level of power you need and will suit your riding styles.Don't limit yourself by the engine type.

ya, the 4 strokes are taking over in the quad world now...but if you have to have a four stroke...I would say look at the banshee..even though I don't know your skill level and the banshee should be rode by a higher skilled rider..but I would say don't waist your money on something to small..Get something you can grow into..Just whatever you get...ride safe!

Banshee for a 13 yr old. Great reply..NOT! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
I've had a blaster, won't do that again! I got my boy a 300ex. It rocks a warrior's socks off. Handles great, don't break, you may want to look into a 300 ex. You possibly may want to consider a 400ex. It's not wildly powerfull and depending on your expierience, it could be a choice for you.
I like 2 strokes also, but the 4 strokes have come a long way and they are easyer to ride.

If you like 2 strokes a lot, go buy yourself a used Suzuki LT250R or a Honda TRX250R. If you get the Suzuki make sure it's an '87 or newer. The '85 didn't have a 6 speed or a power valve and I'm not sure about the '86. If the '86 is like the '87 then that year is fine too. Don't get a Kawasaki Tecate 250 unless you want to get hurt pretty bad. Those things are faster than the TRX or LT but they have some strange handeling characteristics that make them wicked to ride and pretty scary actually.
Since you already own a 2-stroke you know how much maint you have to do on them to keep them running good.
If you don't want a 2-stroke then get one of the 400 machines that are out now.
A lot of people might not agree with me on the size of the machines I suggested but since you're 13, you're probably not going to have the cash to spend on a new machine once you out-grow a smaller one. I was riding an '85 RM 250 when I was 14 so you should be fine [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
