Hey guys I'm lookin to buy a good used quad but the problem is i don't really know what i want..I've had 200m 3 wheeler trail boss 250 golf cart pocket bikes go karts...anyways i'm not lookin for speed just somethin that i can jump nothing big and break the rear end loose..i was thinkin like a blaster? what are they like..i mean are they good for slow speed like tight ridin or would u be shiftin them alot? any ideas would be great thanks in advance

 

What size and weight are you? Riding trails, roads, open country, play riding????

A Blaster is an intermadiate kids quad, with a medium frame. Tons of fun, but it's a 2-storke. Other quads in the intermediate class are the Honda 250EX and 300EX. At some point I have owned all three of these, and they are all excellent machines. Of the three, I think I liked the 300 the best.

Going up from there is the 400 class, the Honda 400EX and the Suzuki Z400.

Then there is the 450 class, which have screaming higher tech engines.

 

i'm about 6foot 1 maybe 6'2 about 180lbs..i've been lookin at the blaster cuz there cheap in my area like 1500-2000CDN and i don't really wanna spend 3000 on a quad it will just be for playin around hittin little jumps slidin around some corners nothing big at all just somethin to play on

 

I would go bigger. I was about 6' 220# when I had mine it seemed tiny.

 

Blaster is way, way to small for you!

Look for a used Honda 400EX, if you are on a budget. Nice machine with great handling. Fun play bike and a good jumper.

And.........after you have "play" ridden it a while you will see how much fun it is and want to go trail riding........and this is a very trail worthy machine!

 

I would graduate to a Banshee instead of a Blaster. You can get used one's pretty cheap, and don't listen to anyone who says they aren't for tight trail/woods riding. Yes you have to shift a little more, but it's more fun/involved than throwing a four stroke in 3rd gear and putting around.
