Default Blaster or VX150 Redcat

Hello All,
I need some advice on the Yamaha Blaster and the Redcat Vx150. I am looking to get my g/f an atv and she has little trial riding time. She does drive my Predator fine in the yard and stuff, a manual is ok for her. I know the basic difference like ones a 2 stroke the other is a 4 etc. I am wondering how each performs on the trial and how they hold up? I do realize that the up keep on the 2 stroke is more, but getting parts will be alot easier. If anyone could provide some input from their experiences, that would be great.
Thanks
She is 5'9" btw

I would think that the Blaster would be a much better quad overall. I would bet that you would have to work on the Blaster much less than the Redcat 150. And I think the Blaster would be a much better quad to ride also.

If those are your options, just get the Blaster.

Your welcome. Let us know what you end up doing? Were you going to buy a new Blaster?

I can get a 2002 for around $1500. I did find one I am going to look at that has been "taken care" of and has low ride time on. Plus it has skid plates too[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I will keep everyone posted
