Oh and one more note on reliabity..something that shocked me. My Lt250r, ran great when i bought it. Then one day, I forgot to shut the fuel off when done with it. Some gas leaked out the overflow line, onto my garage floor. Dad saw this and decides to plug the overflow line to prevent the gas from leaking, instead of shutting the tank off (Still trying to figure out why he did this. Gas ate the seal between the cases, so instead of tearing the engine down to replace the seal, i simply JB weld and sold the bike (didnt have time or money to fix proper). To my suprise talked to the new owner...damn thing is still running strong. He hasnt done a damn thing to it, and beat on it all summer. It just took it.

Oh and note on blaster reliablity. My buddy owns an 88 blaster. It was raced two seasons and is now in need of its second topend, thats it. Buddy also raced his warrior (2000) two seasons, and the bike is mangled. Runs like a bag of crap, frame is bent, etc.

 

Note on the honda your looking at too...cant beat honda reliability. Same buddy that owns blaster and warrior (and two banshees). His first bike was a 250 honda fourtrax. He absolutely beat the living snot out of that bike (rode it like a moto bike) for two years. The quad took just took it, but by the end of those years, rear end was starting to go, so he decided to get an actually race quad. If your planning on running tracks, and jumping, get the blaster, lighter and more nimble, but if you want a workhorse that can go out and play, get the honda. The blaster will require a bit more maintnance, but that bit more maintnance is what you pay for to have a sport quad.

 

Yea i bent and broke my warrior frame to junk after jumping it and driving it as hard as i could blew both front shocks and the back was starting to leak at the end.....but i was a very big guy on the warrior. The blaster never had any problems other then the engine going and like i said it was prob just mine cause ive never heard of them having much if any troubles with there engines in stock form

 

You can buy my blaster..... It has a few mods it runs great too and it will smoke a warrior and a 250EX
