Convert to premix... an easy deal.. all it takes is a small BB.

Handles well, and there are tons of aftermarket parts to make it go faster when you are up to it.

Now that they have upgraded the brakes to Discs all around, it is probably the best value for the buck...

If your going to buy one, buy a newer one, the brake upgrade is well worth it. The older brakes suck, plain and simple. To bad you didn't live close to Washington State. A guy we ride with has a real nice '04 for sale, about $2800. His forum name is NWQUADFREAK. Good luck finding what you want........

check out albaaction.com and get a taste for what is available for the blaster. They sell a well equipped model for about the same price as a factory one.
