Someone help me decide on which is the best quad out of these. Im going to be using it for trailriding mostly.....

Also, I could get a 2000 Blaster with FMF exhaust and holeshot tires with a new K&N Air Filter for 2100.

 

The 400ex has them all beat in every category you could think off. ALL of them are great beginner sport quads. Thats an average deal on the blaster.

If you don't care for reverse, 400ex would be your best pic of the four. Have you looked at the z and KFX 400? It will smoke these other bikes in every category. EVERY category.

ok now compare the 400 EX to a 1997 Banshee with Pro Circuit Pipes, chrome lonestar swingarm, Douglas rims, holeshot tires, and Pro Taper Handlebars.

 

I'd say go with the 400ex, if you need reverse, get the warrior.

 

crk, How can you make that comparison? you are looking at four middle of the road quads and then you want to compare one of them to a high performance machine? That's two different worlds.

For trail riding .. I'd say the Warrior. Reverse is awful handy in tight spots. If you don't forsee the need for reverse, then go for the 400EX. Everyone seems to agree it's more powerful, lighter and better handling than the Warrior. Not sure about the blaster, but for trail riding I like something fuel efficient which 2 strokes typically are not.

 

My opinion, The kota is one of the best trail machines out there, It doesnt excel at much, but it is overall good at all points of riding,
just my opinon

 

can you fit 2 people on a warrior?

 

Easily .. I don't think I'd like to ride a trail for several hours that way, but myself and my wife can easily fit on the Warrior. The only truly awkward part is where does the passenger put their feet so as not to interfere with shifting ..

Also makes the ride a little smoother, which I like
