2 stroke takes a little more maintenance than a 4 stroke, so if I were you I would look for something like a Yamaha Warrior/Raptor 350. Those bikes are great learner bikes and have about as bulletproof of a motor as you can get.

Where you'll be riding and who you'll be riding with most of the time should be the #1 factor in deciding what quad to purchase. Give us some insight as to where you plan on riding (terrain, mudding/mostly trails?) and what types of bikes your friends ride...

Welcome to the sport...

Ill be riding most open fields flat land nothing really all that bad and maybe some mudding nothing much.

My buddy drives a trailblazer 325 and a sportsman 400.. I mostly was looking for a sports utility with 4x4 but the only one I saw was a scrambler 500 but used one that look like pieces of .... are 5000$

Wolverine 350 and 450 4 x 4 are good bikes... I saw an 05 350 Wolverine this last weeked (I think that was the year of it, it was supper clean) and it's a nice looking bike... Look into one of those...

Is the Blaster $2995 in Canadian money or American dollars? That would be a high price for a Blaster in America.

5' 8" 195 seems too big for a blaster... You should get something bigger... I would look at a wolverine or a kodiak/grizzly 450...
