do banshees have reverse i know their fastier then blasters alot of people i know ride them theirs alot of parts for banshees like blasters can find them for cheap one of my friends got a 01 banshee 350 twin in mint not a sracth on it for $3000 and moded banshees can keep up with a stock 450r.but i would chose by were you ride. riding trails you many need a quad with reverse if you ride mx its extra weight that is never need. but for your size and weight a 2 stroke maybe too strong for you but a z250 is too weak. my first quad is a honda 300ex got it for $1000 had it for 2 years still have it i got it when i was 5,7 180lb now im 5,9 205 it may be best for u top speed is 52mph it runs great on trails and mx handels better then blasters and banshees and has reverse. dont know if its faster then blasters never raced one but banshees are rockets way faster then mine.

 

just my .02 but I have never seen a hopped up blaster do 70mph maybe high 50's but thats it ,
if you get into some rough trails in Mn here there are alot of rocks so that could be a consideration ,and mud will eat up chains and break pads ,

the Z250 makes an exellent trail machine ,I have one for my kids ,Blaster is better for more open trails and some dune riding .

 

no, they dont have reverse, but they go forwards pretty quick!
