I am an all out trail rider: mud, hills, and ramps. I also have a need for speed.I way around 220 pounds and im 6'3''. Is a slightly modified 1999 blaster for $1500 right for me?Or is a slightly modified 1991 suzuki lt250r for $1850 that comes with a 1987 basket case right for me? I need help!!!! i currently have a 1999 polaris 250 trailblazer stock!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

 

go with the lt. the blaster weight limit is 220 pounds and the lt would be faster.

 

to small for you if your 6'3 get a Z400 or a warrior or a 400ex thats the way to go when your riding trails.

 

what year lt is it. from 1987 on the lt's had powervalves.

 

The lt is a 1991

 

definitly get the lt even though it's ugly.

 

You would feel like your in the trunk of a compact car on it at 6'3, i think blindside is right, you should go with a kfx/z400/400ex, all much bigger and you would be able to jump it higher without bottoming out as easy.

 

I'm 6'1" and 225 and I ride a Blaster. I would say that it is a little too small for me, but it suits my needs and is fun to ride. It seems underpowered, but I live with it since I got it for a good price. I would recommend you get a Warrior which is a 350, no need to settle for what is in front of you for sale right now. Look around on ebay and at the address below, I got a good deal on a Trail Blazer for my wife and had it shipped about 1000 miles for only $350 from the site below. I think you will be sorry you got a Blaster or a 250 later on.

Im 6'3'' and weigh 200lbs and ride a 04blaster currently Its a good machine, I have no complaints except being a bigger rider on a blaster I bottom out the shocks fairly easily but i also try to jump doubles.. lol

 

Warriors are nice quads but my blaster with me on it is faster than a warrior with a lighter guy on it.. All i have done to my blaster is a pipe and rad valve and filter. But the nice thing about a warrior is its bigger if you feel like compensating for something..haha
