I have a soon to be 16 yo. I was wondering if a Blaster would be right or would a Banshee be a better fit. I know that there are "recoomended" guidelines, but those really don't fit every kid. I have seen what he does when he rides my griz.. so I think that a sport model is better than what i have (plus it really means I have a Sport too!). What do you guys think?

 

If he's a smart kid that will take it easy until he gets good on the quad I would say the Banshee if you are going to ride it too. If he's dumb, lacks common sense or is just a crazy wildman than I'd start him out on a Blaster. Although you didn’t list it in your question I think a 4 stroke is better for a beginning rider. Something like a 400EX or Z400.

 

How long as he been riding? Or How long has he been riding something that is more nimble than your grizz? How tall is he? How much does he weigh? Blasters are more for the younger kids. I'm 16 6'4" at 250 and I looked like a huge goon on my buddys blaster. Its all about the fit take him to a dealer have him sit on both.

 

sheeeeeee!
