Default Hey can someone be honest with me?

Hmmmm......A blaster goes for $3100-ish, and a Trailblazer goes for $3300-ish, brand new. Those are the cheapest new ATV's you can buy. I'm 27 and just bought another Blazer, even though they don't have awe-inspiring performance. I'm also 6'3 and a slim 250#'s, and I'm wicked (Ayuh, come from Maine) comfortable on all day rides. And Polaris 2 wheel drives are the best 2x4's in the mud with their high clearance under the swing arm and 22'" tall Titan 489's. I don't think too many people will argue about that. And its the only full auto, gas it and go entry level quad available.

Top-speed hovers on the low side of 50mph, and they have a peepy mid-range, but a stock blaster will beat a Trailblazer.

I've owned an 02 Trailblazer before and was pretty harsh on it for a good year, then I sold it to my cousin who raced it for a year and a half, and neither of us had any problems at all.

It's a good choice for a sporty do it all ATV, and I doubt you can find a funner utility for the same $.

if you get a chance, check one out.....I don't think you could go wrong......And if you do want to go faster, you can always mod it fairly cheaply......go check out the Polaris forum.....

400ex would be a great bike for a beginner, and has enough potential to get you through high school, good luck, can't go wrong with the 400

If you want something that is going to last you through high school I would start off right and go with the Honda 400EX.

You would be perfect for it.

if you arent good with a manual clutch, dont want to learn how, and are also thinking about about buying a utility type quad u should consider a trailblazer. My opinion is that u will learn how to use a manual sometime anyway, so why not start now! check out used 300 and 400ex's.

Well, you said the others were a little too expensive, so I just threw that in because they are the cheapest 2 you can buy........
