I am from the dirt bike world and have never had a 4 wheeler, I have about $3000 to spend and want a Brand new 2 stroke that will last and go moderately fast.
What is the track record of the trail blazer and blaster, your experience and advise is appreciated. Mike

 

Ill tell u a blaster but this might start a war with some people, these are totally differnt quads/manual vs. auto, the blaster is faster i would get it. I got one forsell if u want to see it go to http://www.geocities.com/hillsvillespage/home.html

 

This normally does start a major war.

But tell me where you will be riding and i can e-mail you or we can talk on AOLIM. I'm not going to post it on here. I don't feel like arguing my points with some one less mature.

 

Aaron,
I will be ditch riding mostly seldom getting to high gear for too long, I am more concerned with how fast i can get there and the suspension for jumping. I am 5'9 170#, reply to my email miker567@worldspy.net
I would really be interested in hearing your story of why you switched, appreciated Mike.

 

whats your guys Aol SN mine is Imafreakinstud or Sethwb2000

 

Hey i own a 98' blaster and my friend own's a 99 trailblazer and it is allway's in the shop...

I aint had no promblem's with mine and i have had it up to the seat in water and i have had it so hott i alomst cracked the head gasket...

Go with a blaster you will be able to go kinda fast and it want brake down on you when your riding...


Rebel-blaster over and out

 

i have rode both a blaster and a trail blazer and i would sugest a blaster over the trailblazer because the blaster jumps real good because it is real lite over the trailblazer i jumped my friends trailblazer and it is like your popping a wheelie in the air, and for going through the water go with the blaster again because when water gets it the belt driven transmission the belt will start to slip. not to put down the trailblazer or any thing but if polaris put a chain drive on the trailblazer it would be a pretty good quad.

hope this info helps.

 

A TrailBlazer is Chain Driven. Also I have a Polaris and the belt has never slipped once, I have tried to make it slip but it won't. You said that you would be jumping alot so I would have to recommend the Blaster, the Blazer is just too heavy.

 

sorry
I ment chain driven strait from the engine like on a blaster.

 

Miker, I believe the TrailBlazer is $3500 to the 2001 Blasters $3099 (now with Hydro. rear Brakes) I'm 5'-8", 165lbs. and my blaster feels fine, their are alot of mods for the blaster too. I got the CT 240 kit, it ROCKS! No trail blazer will keep up with it at all. Don't even try to argue with that Polaris owners. Not knocking the TrailBlazer if you want a good trail rider with automatic and 100lbs. more weight and got a extra $400 to spend , go for it. TrailBlazer does have way better brakes I will give them that. The Blaster has been tried and true for so long why would they change something that sells so good. And the Blaster is easy to work on too. My choice was the Blaster. I have owened lots of Yamahas and they are wre very good. Honda also makes very good machines but not in that price range. See Ya!
