Default Am I too small for a Blaster?

Hey guys, christmas is coming up and i desperately want a quad, the one that i figured was best for me and in my price range was the Yamaha Blaster, since this is my first quad and it is perfect price for me(I dont want to buy used and dont want to spend a fortune), the only problem is am 5'9 and 200 lbs am 14 yrs old, now I read other posts that at that height and weight is to big for the blaster, is this true?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

Go try one out at the dealers, but I would say yes.
I'm 5'10'' and 155 and felt the blaster was to small, but I had a blaster for 3 years so Just depends how bad you want one.

i'd look at warriors if you're wanting to stay cheap, even Z400/KFX400s...i'm right around 195 lbs, 6'2 and when i ride my friend's little brother's blaster it doesnt seem to have the same zippyness as it does w/ his bro, who weighs about 140

I am 5' 7'' and 190 lbs, and the Blaster is quite a bit to little for me. But, if a Blaster is what you can afford......

If I were you I would look into a polaris trailblazer 250.......If you dont mind the automatic tranny...it is a lot bigger then the Blaster it is a 2 stroke and has cheep mods to make it faster....(cluch kits,jets,pipe,ect,ect)And it is the same price as the blaster...being your size I would think the Blaster to be way to small......but thats just my .02

Dont get a trailblazer, they are really gutless and not good for jumping, i rode a blaster for about 2 years, there good but i am 5 11 and 175 pounds, it was way too small, i had some pics taken of me and i saw how small and dumb it looked when i was on it... so i sold it and got a DS650. go big or go home!

I'm 6 foot 1 and weigh 190lbs. I love my blasetr, but I have widened it and lengthened it as well, but I also ride a lt500 zilla. So It really goes by how comfortable you are while on the quad.
