i would stick with the 250x. the blaster being that old is just asking for trouble. my buddy has a 250x with 20's and it is pretty quick. but thats jmo.

in the woods he is pretty fast. he climbs just about every hill. it is easy to fix is something is wrong.

but if your working with a little moeny maybe look at something new like a 3 or 400ex.

jmo. hope this helps.

his is a 1990 something like that.

If it was well taken care of it can be in better condition than a 2003 blaster. I would go with the blaster, I had a 89 blaster and it always ran and started right up. It was fast and I loved it.

Blasters, really arn't that great, not just cuz I have an x, I just think it seems like the x's and ex's are built alot better and sturdier than a blaster. JMO too. so u decide:devil Heres my x:cool:

I have a 250x and my buddy has somewhat suped up blaster. He can beat me on a track but not in the woods. He can also outrun me in a drag race but if ur looking for something to last a little while definately go with the honda. They are built a lot better than a blaster in every way. My buddy's blaster is a 99 and he has more trouble with his than mine and its 12 years newer. Definately take the honda.

the blaster is much peppier however it feels like ur sitting on a powerwheels quad my feat almost rub against the back tires the 250x isa easy to use/ easy to maitnance (sp) but can still give u quite a thrill with some mods on it RIDE RED!:blah

I used to have a '91 X. God, I loved that machine! If you are trail riding, definitly go with the X. The blaster is fast n'at...but it is a crazy 2 stroke. My X was the schiz back in the day....until I got ballzy one hot summer afternoon and cased a double. And that was the end of that beautiful machine....dang my teenage stupidity!:mad:

I have no regrets about my X. It is a Honda and it is (was) beautiful!:D
