What type of riding are you planning on doing (mud? trails?)

Mostly trails, some hillclimbing. I already have a 4x4 but hear that the scrambler is a fun bike

fun yes but the extra weight will make it a bit slower.

the trailblazer is only a 330 top speed is around 56mph
my 2000 500 4x4 scramblers top speed is 68mph with mud lights on it
i have drag raced a few trailblazers last year with my 2000 scrambler 500 4x4 and easily beat them with some more throttle to spare
if u dont want to be stuck in any situation ur better of with the scrambler... if ur looking to save a few dollars and dont plan on riding in mud/snow than trailblazer is fine... its not that fast but it is a very comfy ride and besides from chain and sprockets and the obvious oil change its very good purchase

if ya want to go faster, get the 400scrambler, with a few upgrades you'll be in the neighbourhood of 50- 60 hp. and with a few more parts and some $$$$$, you can get into the 80 hp range. i'd be looking at the 98 and up scrammi, the front driveshaft eliminates one chain and it's problems.

The title says 500 trailblazer, go with the scrambler a better all terrain machine.
