You want to get a quad with allot of low end for trails and woods but also some high end for field riding....Probably the best quad for you that's cheap would be a Polaris Trailblazer though it's two stroke it has allot of low end for a one....For four stroke the 300ex or the 250ex would be very good, I wouldn't buy a 400ex because I have heard they don't have reverse you would regret somthing without it. Unless you're really tall I don't think the blaster would be to small, remember it has a 200cc TWO STROKE engine allot bigger than what I started out with (being a kawasaki 80 dirt bike at age 11).

 

Im 6'3 165lbs and the blaster is perfect for me, you can really throw it around, you are in control not the machine. I wouldnt recommend a trailblazer, they are slow as molasses, great all around and a super value for your money but lack the speed..

 

I replyed to a post in the Honda forum where a person wanted to know weather to get a 300EX or the Warrior. You can go there and read it if you like.

By the way, I picked up a MINT warrior for only $1800. There was nothing wrong with it, at all. It runs excelent. You just have to keep your eyes open and have patients.
