out of those 3 which would you pick?

 

250ex is just plain slow
i've got a raptor 350 and love it.
the raptor stock is going to go faster than the blaster, but it won't take much to get the blaster up with the 350

 

i was thinkin abt savin for the raptor but ill probly just buy the blaster and use the extra for mods .. thx

 

Raptor 350 might be faster I dont know, because there is a kid down the street with a raptor 350 he is about 2 years older than me, i am 13 and his brother about my age has a 250 ex. And I worked hard for my machine i paid for it but their parents have tons of money and they got new '06 for x-mas. And on the bus they said they would kick my a** in a race I told them to meet me at the begining of the street (it is straight for about a mile, deaad end though) well sure enough they met me there I raced the 250ex first no problem he got mad and wanted a rematch i beat him again. And then he had his brother race me. I lost the first time because i stalled it (i though i had it in 2 not 3rd) well we lined up again and i knew it was in 2nd and he ate my dirt and snow (winter) but i am sure it was because it was like 5 days after x-mas. He was a rookie though but if he had riden more he would have beaten me. And if had not spun out as much in the begining.

 

raptor 350 is faster than the other two, and has the best suspension, and is going to be the most comfortable for an adult. The blaster is almost as fast as a raptor 350, but the suspension is stone-aged and older blasters (pre-2003) have the worst brakes ever put onto a 4 wheeled vehicle. I also think that the blaster is too small, and too short, but i'm 5'11". Personally I think the best bet would be to buy a used warrior (almost the same exact machine as the raptor 350) and spend the extra money to get some mods for it like good tires, exhaust, intake, etc. And you can get plastics from maier for the warrior that makes it look like a yfz450.

 

id go blaster. all u need is a pipe to keep up with the 350s then. with the money ud spend for a blaster u would still have alot left to dump into the bike, compared to buyin a raptor 350. im a 2 stroke person so im kinda parcial

 

If I were you I'd go with the Raptor 350, thats what I started on. All around (stock) its a pretty fast and reliable machine and its not just a learners machine. Since it has the manual clutch it gives you a chance to grow into it and use a few yrs.
