I want to get a sport quad really bad. I dont want to get rid of my SP 600 because most of my riding is on trail, with some mudding and deep water involved. I wouldn't use the sport wheeler for racing if i got it. Maybe the occasional drag, but mostly for trail riding and jumping and just having fun. I am about 6'3" and weigh 170 lbs. Would a Blaster be practical for me? I want to get one because they are inexpensive, but an older Bashee would be really nice too. The 400ex is supposed to be a nice all purpose bike and I really like that and the I like the Raptor because of the power it has. Just need a couple of opinions to start deciding. Thanks.

 

None of the above!

The Suzuki Z400 is the best all-around machine there is!

The Blaster is a kids bike. The Banshee isn't a good jumper or trail bike. The 400EX doesn't have the power of the Z (but does handle great), and the Raptor is to narrow and tippy.

 

go with the banshee, lol

 

z 400 best all around... works best for what you ride

 

A blaster would work for you. But I would probably buy a raptor. I have rode all of the quads that yoy have mentioned and the raptor is my favorite. It has alot of power but is also nice on the trails. It also has reverse which is a plus.

 

kfx\z400 bad a** machine

 

raptor 660r...

 

For drags,the banshee is what you need,but it won't be much fun in tight trails.They really like to rev.The blaster will probably not have enough power for you.The 4-strokes are best in the trails and have respectable power.They respond well to mods. also.The suzuki,kawi,400 are a great all around bike.I think the raptor has more power and responds better to mods.,but needs some suspension work to be more rideable in trails.It is a little tippy stock.Some wheel spacers help here.The 400 ex has proven to have a nearly bullet proof engine,but is down slightly in power compared to the other 400's.Still a good quad though.

 

I vote the z-400. Solid all around machine.

 

How about the Predator? Its good at everything.
