If your doing trail riding I would recommend the Warrior or even though I hate to say this the 300EX. And also another good trail machine would be yes another Honda the 400EX.

Most of my riding when I had my Blaster was trail riding. I would recommend it for trails... its small; where people would go around the trees I was able to fly inbetween and didn't even have to slow down. Its extremely quick and is able to be literal thrown around the trails. I used to hit the berms and fling the quad where i wanted it!vsounds funny but what i mean was that its so small, light, and nimble that i could pretty much place the quad where i wanted it. beware of the stock baloon tires in the turns, they are very unstable!!!

If this is your first quad, the blaster is an excellent choice. You can pick up a used one fairly cheap, and turn around and sell it for what you paid when you are ready for something bigger. That is what I did. The blaster is a very nimble woods machine, great for weaving in and out of trees, wheelies, and small to medium jumps. I would not attempt to climb any huge hills until you get used to the bike because with the short wheelbase, the front-end tends to want to come up on you. DON'T LEARN THIS THE HARD WAY! Watching your bike roll down a hill is not a fun thing to do. Good Luck.

2 words. Polaris trailblazer. Way better than a blaster for trails and awsome automatic tranny and floorboards.
