Default z250, 250ex, or blaster

I have a grizzly for off-roading, but I want a fun little inexpensive machine for an alternative.

If it was upto looks, I like the blaster and z250, reliability-250ex, speed-blaster

I want to know which can handle an adult the best, which has the best top speed, suspension(jumping), and any other information you might have.

just give me your opinion, thanks

The Blaster is to small for most adults. The EX is a little bigger, but the suspension has its limits.

how is the quality of your suzuki, reconranger? I'm leaning towards a slightly used white z250. They look mean, but are pretty small. has anyone got to try one out yet???

i am curious to see how it will compare to the guys that i ride with. They both have 400ex's I know that I have no chance in an all out drag, but as far as trail riding...

i would like to know the stock top speed, acceleration, wheelie power, handling, etc.

Now i am faced with a very hard decision. There is an old lady down the road that is selling an 02 trailblazer 250. The thing has literally never been used. she wants to sell it because theres no sense to pay payments on something you don't use. I'm not even going to say the price, because everyone would think theres something messed up in my head.

so.. should i get the automatic blue polaris and put some mods on, or should I buy a new stock Z???

How do these two machines compare??

I dont like polaris at all but thats just me!!! I use to be into jet skis and saw alot of polaris skis blowing up!

As for wheelies ,very easy I can ride one for a long while in 2nd and now in 3rd thatI have my pipe on and jetted
Bone stock top speed is close to 56mph or so
Acceleration is pretty good, especialy with a pipe
I was hanging with and sometimes passing 400ex's on the trail yesterday
Handling is good but a little tipsy, I put razrs on the rear with a 3+6 offset instead of the stock dunlop and 3 + 5 offset and it helps alot also the front shocks have a 5 position preload that is eay to adjust
I rode the polaris before and did not like the way it felt, way to slow, If it were me I wou;d go with the little Z you wont regret it!!!!! Check my pics out and let me know what you think
