of the 4 quads the 300EX is the fastest but it is not the cheapest i belive that kawi does not sell the mojave anymore so you would have to but it used, the blastes is the most customisable of the quads but is 2nd fastest only to the 300ex.(dirt wheeles actually had a shootout with these quads but included the 250EX the blaster was yet second again only to the 300EX but if it was not in the competition the blaster would have won) but i would go with the blaster because its cheaper faster than the mojave and lightest of all of them(320lbs.) and is a good quad over all but if your a tall person then go with the 300ex but the blaster is worth the money only a few things with the blaster though are sometimes things go wrong with it and also last year i think was the last year that companies could make 2-strokes so again with the used things

 

I think I saw your thread about the blaster, your from Canada right. MAn, keep your eyes open for a cheap 250r,you WILL find one. These things are a dime a dozen now that they outlawed them in racing.(because the 4 pokes cant beat em)[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Might have to revise to a 1992 KDX200 ... back to the dirt bikes again LOL .. though there's also a 1998 KDX220R which gets mixed reviews. It's only a few hundred more. The 220 seems to be a good trail bike, but motocrossers were disappointed with the top end power. Another user said they eat plugs .. bah .. hard to know what to do.

 

I dont care what anyone says about 2 strokes...oh they eat plugs, blah blah blah.... my 250 gets one plug a year. And the only reason I change it is its a new season. If you know what you are doing a 2 stroke is just as reliable as any 4 stroke, and in the case of the 450's, better. The 450's have so much fuel blow past the rings that you have to change the oil all the time. Most people dont. Then they end up locking it up because their oil ends up like 0w10

 

point taken. mayme that's the route i'll take. the kdx's look hella mean [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

first off the mojave will not get smoked by a 300ex...and will stay with a blaster as well...blasters suck on the track cuz of there suspension..that should be the first thing you get on a blaster...most even here are the mojave and the 300ex...the 300ex is by far the best on the trails along with the mojave...the mojave is best on the track cuz it has the best suspension out of all the quads here and have a good amount of power for a 250.....blasters are great beginners quads and great machines to start riding on...i would never say that a blaster is most even with a 300ex cuz that not right at all..REAL MOTORS HAVE VALVES...like i said best all around quads are the 300ex and mojave...the z250 is a great beginners quad as well and perfect for slow trail rding...ive ridden all quads too and have owned most of them in the pass...but no way is the mojave last like you said..



best all around

300ex/mojave

z250/blaster....thats more like it now...</end quote></div>







I know this is an old thread, someone else brought it back to life and I had to read this page and see the above quote....REAL MOTORS HAVE VALVES.... WTFE dude you have no clue.



I like 4 strokes some make good trail machines and some make good racers, My 250r makes both. more top end speed than the rappys and predetors, more acceleration than the 450's, and as long as you know how to set them up and work a clutch its all controlable power. 2 STROKES FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</end quote></div>


haha dude wtf man i love how we go from talkin about blaster mojave's, 300ex's and z250's to 250R's??????um...u cant even compare the legend 250r's...those motors are completely different then blasters setups...of course i dont feel the same way about 250r's then blaster...maybe if you actully read the f**kin full six pages you would have understand wut i was sayin....but come on man the blaster is a cheaply built quad for starters...the 250r's are on a totally different level quads or trikes...i got a 86 atc 250r built...i know wut they can do and they are a pretty seroius machine...even lighter in trikes...all i was gettin outta this tryin to help this kid out here picking out a quad and not makin the same mistake many others did when they get the blaster and it starts giving them problems right away cuz they are known for that...if your new to quads start on a 4 stroke til u get use to how it operates and maintain one...cuz 4 strokes all u have to do is change the oil really...

 

The only real problem with a blaster is the oil injection system. As for "if you are new to quads get a 4 stroke". What do you have to do to a 2 stroke that is all that hard... hmm let me see... CHANGE THE OIL IN THE TRANNY. Thats it. How many people know how to adjust valves, how many people can put a cam in and get the timing right. Any half brain twit can take a jug off a 2 stroke. Order a piston for a $100. Take the jug and piston to the local machine shop. Have it bored and honed for $45. Take it home and slap it together. Presto chango brand new again for for 2 more yrs. I started out working on 2 strokes when i was 14. Trial and error. If I would have had a 4 stroke first I probably would never have gotten into working on engines. Too expensive for trial and error.

btw go mod for mod with a blaster vs. a 300ex or mojave and see what wins. ...............ITS NOT FAST UNLESS THERE'S OIL IN THE GAS............

 

and do you feel like spending $9 a quart on oil every time you need more. 2-storkes are known for blowing head gaskets 4-strokes unless your racing then you need to adjust your valves and put in a cam

 

21yrs and Ive never blown a head gasket

and what new kid to quads is gonna know how to do all that...most kids when they start know jack bout quads until they start riding and gettin the understand of how the machine operates...i hear ya with blasters are quick for there size im with you on that but come on lets get real if you have never touch an engine b4 dont get a blaster...there a great fun little quad if you know how a 2 stroke has to be ridden...u cant bitch it around like a 4 stroke...the other thing about 4 strokes is they dont break ever other ride like some 2 strokes...
