I would try to find a used 400ex, its a great trail bike with some punch.

 

Thanks for the replies. Is the warrior as fast as the blaster? Also when are you to big for a blaster on an everyday basis, sorry to repeat the question is 6 foot 200 pounds to big? One more question can the blaster be a good trail riding and mudding quad? Or is it strictly for racing? The reason I ask is because the blasters seem to be everywhere and really easy to find with really cheap prices sometimes. Ive rode one before but its been years and Im a lot bigger now. I was looking at the pictures and they really dont seem that small? Thanks again for your feedback! Awsome forum with quick responces!

 

Sounds like you already made up your mind to buy the blaster. Not sure which is faster, at your size your going to look akward on the blaster. The warrior would be a better fit for you.

 

Nope didnt make my mind up I know it sounds that way. I was just really interested because this guy my brother works with is selling one pretty cheap. Thanks for all the feedback guys I was just trying to eliminate this (blaster) as an option. I guess I will get to searching around for a warrior. or 400ex.

 

400EX will handle better and be quicker but it lacks a few things warriors have.

1. Reliability, from what ive experienced and heard, warriors are practically bulletproof
2. 6 gears
3. Reverse
4. Cheap aftermarket.
5. You can find used ones relatively cheap, mine was a little over $2k and it runs like a raped ape.

 

Just sold my Blaster and looking at buying a Warrior. I liked the feel of it very much, also 6', this only affected me when making tight turns or donuts, hit my knees a few times on the handlebars...Going with the Warrior cause its a cheap upgrade for me, a great trailbike so I hear and has reverse. If you want a good starter quad to get the feel of and want to get away cheap the Blaster will work, but you'll probably outgrow its feel in a yr or so.
