Is there a 3 wheeler that you need to have about the same skills as u do to ride a blaster. I have a 185s and it has no suspesion but it is just way more fun than a quad to me.
I am fourteen and way 125 pounds and i wnat it to last me for a while but more importantly iwant to be able to handle it now and still be able to have the same kind of fun as on my 185 ( how small it is and u can almost throw it aorund literally)Iw would also been nice to whoop my friends blasters. Everyone has a blaster

No. You wont find a 3 wheeler that drives like a four wheeler. The three wheelers are MUCH more sensitive to body placement, and where you lean/sit/stand up makes a gigantic difference, but with time you dont even think about it. I dont really have any suggestions on what you should get, but you might try somthing with about 250 cc's like a 250X.

If you are looking for something along the lines of a Blaster, a 200x is about as close as you will get. While a three wheeler does require different riding skill than does a 4 wheeler, with practice and experience you will learn to handle it. A 200x is a very reliable machine, and a sporty ride as well. With basic maintenance it will last for years. See the other forum topics for info and opinions on these machines.

An 86 or 87 ATC200X is the ATV for you. There is a world of difference in the ride and stability between a 200X and a 185S. I think the 200X is one of the most fun ATVs available. And a 200X can even take a Blaster.
