I'm not real familiar with the two, but off the top of my head:


TrailBlazer is a two stroke, so you have too keep oil in the reservoir.

TrailBlazer is chain drive, Honda is shaft drive.

TrailBlazer is larger, more comfortable for a bigger rider.

TrailBlazer is an auto tranny, Honda is a manual shift, auto clutch.

TrailBlazer has one lever for front/rear breaking, Honda has separate breaking levers.

I believe the MSRP for the Honda is about $600 more than the T'Blazer.

Honda quality is head and shoulders above Polaris. The trailblazer is a bit heavier, I believe. Maintenance is nil on the Honda, possibly beyond average owners' skills for the Po.

I have owned both. They are two different types of bikes. I believe the TB is more suited for trails and steep hill climbs yet if you want a wheelie machine the honda is better. I had problems with both of them I believe the atv is only as good as the person maintaining them. Both of them will do you a good job if you take care of them.

Get the honda 250 EX. It's a far better bike than the TrailBlazer. I have a friend who put almost $900 in aftermarket parts on his TrailBlazer and i could still beat him in a drag on my stock 250 EX. He had his TrailBlazer ported and polished, got a new piston, got a new exhaust, got a new air filter, and got some new reed valves and that thing was still slower than heck. Plus the Trailblazer is a two-stroke so it is higher maintenance than the honda. Go with honda, you won't regret it.

I'm smellin some B.S. With a pipe alone on a TrailBazer it will smoke a stock 250EX. I know from experience.

I have had a 250 Trailblazer and from two years of experience I can tell you that the atv is pure junk..I have had to fix it more than 10 times..one time I had to put a entire motor into it becuase the oil wasnt mixing and the cylinder was grinded out. Go with the EX it is better in ever catagory.

Yeah, i agree with 400ex2003JPC. The Polaris is a POS (No offense to any Polaris owners). go with honda
