I can't help you on the taxes but the blaster would be a great choice for a starting bike. I bought mine a '95 for only $750 so you will find a good deal on one every now and then, they are not much for torque but they are very peppy for the size and a plus side on the size is you can pitch them around very easly because they are so light.
A note on the taxes: try to disguise it, before you go across take it for a ride and get it a little dirty so it don't look showroom new.

very good idea hondarulesinnc and 300ex look i told you i wont have to much money and honda's just cost more ok now for the upgrades lets say i buy a blaster how much do ussual mods cost and how much preformence will i see from them?

Edit: also what about the 250ex only seems to be $200 more?

Second edit: oh and would 1 of you care to maybe come on msn or something and chat and give me some info on atv's and any questions that may arise my msn is rytis1232003@hotmail.com

Dont listen to this ignorant fool...

The blaster is a good bike. The oil injection sucks, but you can always block it off and mix manually.

Im not brand loyal... (I currently own a Honda street bike, Yamaha banshee, and Kawasaki KX500)

But as far as hondas build quality compaired to yamahas, My banshee has been GREAT.
My 400EX's were great. BUT... 250EX's A-Arm metal is about as thin as tin foil......and its expensive.

So much for "better built bike for the money"

Well thing is when im going to buy the atv im going to be in canada (ontario toronto area) and not many people sell atv's that are from canada so finding a good priced some what old banshee might be somewhat hard so i might even be looking to buy a new 1 but that would mean my crossing the boarder to the states and trying to not to get charged the taxes but i guess even if i didnt get charged id still get it cheaper. Ok so between a new blaster and a new 250ex which is better?

Blaster. 2 stroke, manual clutch, 6 speed,

250ex is automatic clutch, 4 stroke, ect. not nearly as much fun.

And both are probably equally durable.

I would say blaster, without a doubt.
