My brother has a '02 Trailblazer that just doesn't have much power and can be boring for him to ride. Because of this, I don't think he enjoys riding very much. There is a Lakota 300 for sale (year 2000 I think) somewhat near us and it is a pretty good price...I would think it would be pretty close to an even swap. He is about 5'11" and weighs around 210-215 now. Would the machine be big enough for him and would it have better power than the Trailblazer? Thanks!

 

Yes, the Lakota is gonna def. be a funner ride.
if you get a good deal, buy it/trade for it
it will be much funner, but to make it funner, spend the $7 on a 13t sprocket, makes it more snappy
check out my pics of my lakota

 

Thanks BigChris, any other thoughts?

 

well,
honestly, the lakota would put a whooping on a trailblazer...
I personally think the lakota is such a more fun machine.....even compared to the other machines in its class.....the 250ex, z250, trailblazer, mojave, 300ex, and blaster....with a little fine tuning, the lakota is one of the best in this class, mine, (with NO engine work) goes 57.7 gps....The lakota is just a fun bike to hop on and have some fun with, and if you feel like wanting to go the extra mile with it, she'll respond greatly!

look at my pictures, see if that looks fun!
