I dealt with the same issue before I purchased a new machine. I knew that I wanted two stroke and I wanted a performance bike with a lot of available parts. I chose the blaster and like the guy previous guy said the brakes on the T blazer are much better than the blaster's. Rumor has it that Yamaha has equipped the 2001 Blaster with Hydraulic brakes, if so that is great. When trail riding I rarely use any brakes unless its an emergency. Having said that I like the Blaster but, whatever you choose bike the bike that suits you. The T blazer is slightly larger and has reverse and electric start. The Yamaha is super quick and light so reverse isn't necessary. If there is a price difference of 400 or more you could get a Blaster and a pipe for the price of a blazer. As I said earlier get the bike you like. I have two blasters and have ridden just about every atv out there since 1985 and I see nothing seriously wrong with any bike currently being produced. Another bike you may want to consider before making your decision would be a Mojave. Though slightly higher dealers tend to discount them more because of low demand. Hope this helps let me know which one you buy.

 

99fasterblasters, I know one Trail Blazer that you would not be able to touch. In fact, I can say with confidence, that almost no other ATV in the world could touch it. Of course this is not your average Polaris. But rest assured, it is 100% Polaris. Check it out at this link. www.homestead.com/lurch77/atvmisc.html

 

Do you really think that this person cares about a super-modified polaris? I would'nt own a polaris of any incarnation. I would rather ride than repair!

 

I have a much better idea! Save your pennies and get a slightly used Warrior! I think you will find it will fit you much better, and you sure won't get bored as fast.

 

what is it? No matter how much we say we like our blasters, someone still says get something else Warrior!

Even though i was going to sell mine for a warrior..That was just because i was mad at mine.
