I'm going buy my g/f a quad.....what would be better for her?
I was thinking the Trail blazer 250 because it is automatic, smooth, and plenty of power for her.....
but the blaster would be about 5-600 less.....would it be worth the difference? both 2004's

 

i would say teach her to ride the blaster, way more bang for your buck. the trailblazer probably has enough power for her but in turn its very slow.

 

Definatly go with the blaster...them TB are just to slow

 

Yamaha=). enough said

 

Man are you guys bias! don't worry about what brand and personal preference.. Think about the safety of his girl friend!

This is what you guys sound like "buy a yamaha don't matter if its to powerful for you just make sure its yamaha"

Please be honest with others these are large investments people make for ATVs...

don't say i am a basher cause i OWN a yamaha!

I think the TB is the best bet for you its pretty peppy and is a good all around quad easy to ride and very easy to maintain heck it don't even have reeds...

I really hope i did not offend anyone believe me i was <U>not</U> trying too[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I agree, go with the trail blazer. It's automatic tranny, also has reverse. Should be a lot easier to ride. She most likely dozen't care how fast it goes, but later on if she wants too, can make some mods.

 

I also vote for the TB, I have a Blaster and although it's a more exciting ride than the TB it's also rough as heck. The Blaster will wear her out and beat her up alot more. My wife hated riding our Blaster and flipped it and crashed more than her share. The TB will be alot more comfortable. My kids on the other hand like the light and peppy blaster and I prefer it too. For the G/f though the blaster is pretty rough.

 

It kind of depends if she's ever ridden before. If she is somewhat familiar with atv's then get the blaster. It is very easy to ride. If she's never been on one before then get the tb. But just remember she might get sick of it in a hurry. Those things are terribly gutless. The blaster would ride circles around the tb and the blaster is a dog itself.

 

I agree also, the Blaster is a great quad for what it is, but the Trailblazer for a beginner( I'm asuming) is perfect. She won't have to deal with the clutch, powerband, or a little rougher ride with the TB. If she just wants to cruise around with you I think it's perfect. On the other hand if she thinking of riding more agressively the Blaster, might be a great stepping stone. I guess it's all in what kind of riding she's going to do.

 

I also agree on the TB. Its more rider friendly and will have some satisfying power for your girlfriend. Go with the polaris.
