I am 16 and i have a 96' Blaster. It's a great little toy but I want something bigger all my friends are getting bigger bikes, but i dont know what to get. I have rode a Warrior and i liked it alot but i have been hearing 300EX's are better. I have also been looking to see that Warriors are cheaper if you buy them used like i would do! I just need something with more power then a blaster but not where it would empty my wallet
Thanks,

I'd personally skip the Warrior it's a nice trail machine but there's cheaper ways to go faster. You can pick up a used Banshee for not a whole lot more. It's not as trail ride friendly as the Warrior but if you're concerned with beating your buddies it's the cheapest way to do it.

 

Trust me i would love with all my heart to get a banshee but thats just to much money for me! My friend has a 400EX and it would just be nice to keep up! If i could find a cheap banshee i would buy it no questions asked but there just a tad too much or too far away from my home to buy! Thats why i was lookin at a aroune 2000$ warrior
thanks for your help though
i am still open for suggestions!

 

well truthfully a 300ex wouldnt even be any faster than the blaster. The blaster might actually out run the 300ex. A Warrior would be a better choice for more power. I have heard that the 300s handle better.

 

i have a blaster also and i was gonna choose between the 300ex and the warrior and i have made up my mind with no questions asked. the warrior is my choice by far. the blaster is faster than the 300ex so you would want the warrior, which is faster than both of them. the warrior also has more power even though it is heavier. blaster=320 300ex=377 warrior=397
and it also has reverse like the 300ex. that and the warrior is a better hill climber than the 300ex.

 

I am also 16 and just got a 2000 Warrior. I have stomped my cousins 300ex on straights and trails. They are an awesome machine. Haven't done that much aftermarket yet, but its still a very aggresive bike. So in a nutshell GET THE WARRIOR!!! Good luck!

 

Ya i think i have came to the conclusion that i want the warrior (especially after going riding today and gettin showed up by my friends 400EX mine wasnt fit for the ride 2day) now the problem is finding a cheap enough warrior that is somewhere in Kansas and finding a place to sell my blaster it's pretty good i got a DG pipe on it probably 12 hours on it and a brand new crankshaft probably 4 hours on it!
Thanks for help,
Kurt

 

got my 99 in the paper for 3800. they had quite a few in there too, some were cheaper but mine already had a lot of extras on it. look in the paper and try cycle trader online and see what u can find, thats what i did

 

Ya i have been lookin on Ebay and @ cycletrader.com and i foudn some good deals the only problem is that i cant go to far away so Kansas and OK and maybe MO is the farthest i could get out unless i could get some help from a relative [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] which sucks big time wel thanks though
