My daughter who is 15 rides a 2001 trailblazer and does very well with it.
We ride at wayne national forest and a lot of other trails here in Indiana and she love the blazer. And the good news when she wants more power I can put an hpd pipe and a few other goodies and gain about 10 or more ponnies..... The boss is a great machine but I find girls and my wife like the blazer a little better being lighter and the width of the machine is far less making it easyer for smaller riders. My daughter made her's purple a girl thing I guess........


Good luck

What about a polaris sport 400? I seen a few in our price range how does that compare to the trailblazer is it a better bike???

 

the sport definitely has much more kick and top end to it but does she really need that much kick. my wife, who is not a very aggressive rider, felt my 400 scrambler was too much. she did not enjoy riding it as much because she was always concerned about giving it too much throttle. she enjoys a bike with limited top end so she doesn't have to worry about that. and, like i said, in the tight trails, the sport and trailblazer will run together. it's not until you get it into the open a little that the sport will show it's added speed.
