Now were talking apples and oranges...
2-stroke 200cc vs. 4-stroke 250cc..
I havent had the chance to ride a 250ex yet, but I can tell you that the blaster accelerates extremely fast, top speed around 50-55.. As far as the top-speed of the 250ex I dont know.. Ive never ridden one, I would think that in a drag race or something the 250 would get absoultley crushed?

I've never seen the two race, but I think the Blaster would be a little faster. The Blaster is a two stroke, has a six speed tranny, and is a couple pounds lighter.

Well the honda 300ex is a little closer to the blaster than the 250. I would imagine that if you where to take ayway 50cc's and put on an auto clutch and a shaft drive....it wouldnt even be close

I got a 250EX for my wife, who also has a piped Blaster. The Blaster is faster, acceleration, and top speed.

The electric start, auto tranny, brakes, and reverse make the quad better for her in my opinion. There are less go-backs for me... She would like it to be purple, but you can't have everything! The suspension is a bit stiff, and is completely lacking adjustablility, so that is a definate negative strike.
