Default Looking into first atv

I am in the process of buying a new ATV. I dont want to spend more than 1500 or so. I would rather have a 4x4 Ute but that is probably not realistic in my price range, so I am looking at a 250 Blaster. Does this atv have enough power for a 140 pound adult?

definitely has enough powert... how tall are you??

also, check craigslist often.. you may find a VERY good deal on something better than a blaster... i paid $800 for my shee and have another $700 into it( IF THAT) and it was all because i was looking on craigslist because i was bored

also, blaster is 200 not 250

Depends on what you wanna do. Just riding trails and things ya it should be good. Blaster is no hotrod but its a good little quad.

blasters are pretty close wheel base..they take some getting used to...if you want something with towing power get a warrior
