i'd say 250ex is better for trail riding because the whole powerban thing with the 2strokes, as reconranger posted before, but blaster is better at top speed, accel., racing...almost everything else lol (have a 250ex myself) but if u were getting a beginner one of these bikes then get him/her the ex because u wouldnt have to worry about the manual clutch, chain, rebuilding, all that good stuff

 

yea there was another post in the yamaha section i think abou tthe blaster in mud and water and mostly everybody said that the blaster does not like water or mud and i cant go without that. lol [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

I have 2 250ex's and they are better for the trails because of the auto clutch, and have more ground clearance because of the shaft drive.

 

yea i think im gonna go 250ex or MAYBE Rancher 2X4 im not sure. theres A LOT of mud back on the trails after just lek one day or rain so i need a quad thats good in the mud and ive heard that the 250exs are great in the mud and that blasters suck lol
