NEED REPLIES BEFORE CHRISMAS PLEASE !!!!!!!!!

I've ridden both machines in dunes, mx tracks and trails, and my vote is the Honda 250EX. Here's why:
The new 250 has updated styling and looks cooler.
It comes with the clutch option kit. You can ride it like it has a clutch and use the lever, or ride it like an automatic. Great learning tool.
The Blaster may be slightly faster, but the EX has more power. In the dunes, the Blaster was terrible. The Honda had more usable power.
I have jumped both over 30 and 40 foot doubles and tables. I weight 197 and am used to full aftermarket suspension, but they are both pretty close. However, this can always be improved.
The 250 requires no chain maintenance. The blaster chain adjustment is severely outdated and a giant pain in the @$$.
Two strokes are being phased out. In the future you may see stricter emissions on two strokes, and you may even be restricted from riding it in some state parks, particularly in California.
Go with the Honda.

lol, thats a good one, ya, im sure that the emissions will be hampered on, but isnt there a thing called the "grandfather law" if the machine was built prior to the new restrictions, you dont have to meet them... basically all I am saying is they can limit the sound output, but untill there are no 2 strokes left in the world (well the US anyway) they will have to allow them, and if they start restricting 2 strokes in national parks and stuff, check the laws out, they may be breaking another law...

You act like an informed adult, and clearly you are not. If you were informed, you would be aware of two things. First, the CPSC is this very minute examining proposals for stricter rules and regulations regarding ATV use in America. In case you haven't noticed, two strokes are dissappearing from both the ATV and dirt bike market. The California legislature has also been examining stricter enforcement policies over the past several years for emissions in motorcycles, dirt bikes, ATVs and other off-highway vehicles. And while Congress is considering lifting bans in the Clean Air Act that pertain to industries and business, they are considering increasing restrictions on motorized vehicles.
Secondly, if you were paying attention to the global press, you would be aware that several reports have been issued by global organizations like the U.N and world science organizations, this year, regarding the effects of the melting polar ice caps and how water, air and land temperatures are rising globally. As these reports are confirmed over the next 5 to 10 years, we as consumers will see stricter air quality enforcement policies. It is not beyond the state or federal governments to ban two-stroke vehicles from state parks and forests.
Just because a two-stroke exists, does not mean the government has to allow them into state parks. You should be more aware of what your government can and can't prohibit you from doing.
