i raced a my neighbors stock recon, its slow as bawls. i left him in the dust.

 

Ok here is my 2cents. Not like you will care anyways. You know how the honda guys are.LOL!!! I dont say anything bad about honda. Honda has a real good product. I can also say that in stock form the Trailblazer250 is the slowest on the market. But this is where some honda guys are wrong about the TB. There are tons of mods for the 250 to make it very quick,competitive quad. The 250 ex just is not possable. Yes there are mods for ex but it will NEVER compair to a moded 250TB. My TB is highly moded and really have not spent much on mods. I can smoke stock 300's, warriors,blasters,250ex and can hang pretty good with a 400. It is not junk either. I ride the hell out of mine but I also maintain it properly. I am 31yo 6'1 225lb guy that rode a Banshee for 8yrs. For speed nothing compaires to a banshee but it handles like crap. I sold it because I was tired of getting thrown around and beat up on those all day trailrides on the banshee. I wanted something more comfortable and easy to manage. I really liked the way the TB felt but the speed just was not there. After alot of research and riding other quads this was the best I felt. Not saying the DS or cannondale was not comfortable just could not afford those. I rode a highly moded race mod TB that kicked *** so thats when I bought one. It was not nearly as fast as the banshee but handled way better in the woods. You cant use all the power of the banshee or the 400 ex in the woods. I can tell you that I can kick a$$ and 400's are no problem in the woods. I actually have a big advantage over the other quads because I dont have to shift. Just hit the throttle and go. Come to a turn, slow down, hit the throttle and kick the a$$ end out around a tree and keep on it. In the mean time the others are shifting losing time. Like I said it is not a race bike but will tear it up in the woods. The TB can be a very competitave bike and I have NEVER broken down.

 

Yea dude, you are a crackhead. The reason your cousins trailblazer is breaking down is probably because he doesnt take care of it, or you just like honda too much so you make up lies. And whats this about not being able to wheelie a TB??? I can easily wheelie mine. Im 15 and about 125 pounds. And my friends ride yamahas, and they love to wheelie mine because they dont have to shift so they go on and on.

 

i have a 2003 250EX and the only problems with it so far is it has a really weak axel and some times depending on the tire roatation it cant find neutral but besides that there is nothing wrong with it o and its a great bike for racing, dounts, steep hill climbs and catwalking (i can do a 200 meter cat-walk on it easy) ITS WORTH THE MONEY and semi is a hell of alot better then a auto.

 

OMG all these polaris haters make me sick. I have some friends who are the same way, the problem is that they dont know any of the facts. I begin to wonder if some of you people actually have even raced a tb, let alone beat them by 10+ bike lengths as you claim. Crackhead, when my quad was stock i could smoke recons. And as far as reliability goes i have never had a problem with my quad. Also no it doesnt take forever to get to top speed as crackhead stated earlier. As far as wheelies go im 16 years old, 125 pounds and i can wheelie this machine very well. Honda does make great quads and they prolly are worth the money if you wanna pay for the HONDA name. The tb may not be the fastest thing in the world but it sure is a blast to ride. If anybody has a stock tb I highly recommend u do some cheap mods, they will really wake this quad up. ~RYNO~

 

well u guys (polaris owners) can say what u want but i raced what i raced and saw what i saw. the tb was the first big qaud i rode back when i had my 80cc and it was fun but i out grew it the same day. My moto-4 would tear it up till i reached top speed (45?) then he would pass me. It would barely climb hills, i could never get it to wheelie (its too damn heavy), and not being able to shift was a BIG drawback. Between the two go with the Honda for obvious reasons; dont have buy expensive 2-stroke oil, the 250ex is very light, semi-automatic, handles alot better than a tb, and is overall faster.

 

My friend had a 250ex stock and he would smoke me on it. And my TB was bored out.

 

But the TB is very comfortable and easy to ride. It is a very wide atv...and has great cornering. It weighs a frickin ton though. If you get stuck in the mud...you have to be pretty strong to pick it up

 

one question for you guys that think the 250TB is so great. if it's a 250 2stroke should it not out run a 400 4 stroke ? I have rode both. the TB was great if your like 60 and just want to cruse the trails. but when I tried it it was on a moto x track.OMG what a tank!!! the 250 ex is a great beginner bike and seemed to be alot more nimble on the track but had a very modest amount of power. you can tweek the power on a 250ex but I don't think you can shave the extra 100 pounds off of the 250TB. JMO.

 

I simply pointed out what little I knew about each quad in my first post. In my second post, I just stated that the T'Blazer didn't come stock with reeds, and could be a fun quad. Being a former Polaris owner that had three good years of trouble free riding, I just get sick of people bashing Polaris.


I would suggest riding both, and see what fits your needs the best out of the two.
