Default Is this a good choice??

Ok I currently ride a 2002 polaris trailblazer 250, but I might be planning on switching for the fact it is kind of board to ride. The polaris is a BIG machine and I was wondering because im like 5'7 and 180 pounds do you think i'll feel cramped? What is the top speed of the blaster it will rip my TB apart right?? Is it very manueverable and is it easy to get losse and let the end slide out?? Any other info would be great also. Thanx in advance.

the blaster is a great machine, but for somebody your size I would look towards a banshee. the banshee is easy to get sideways on and it rips. its a very reliable machine and if you take care of it, it will last for a long time.

if you are looking at yamaha go for the banshee, the mods never end so you will never get bored, and my shee in stock form would tear by a highly modded blaster in forth gear with out a problem and you will never look back. GO SHEE

A banshee would be the ultimate quad but maybe sometime down the road. I'm not all that experienced with clutches right now exceot from riding dirtbikes plus I dont have 6 grand to dish out on a shee. So will I be to crammed on the blaster??

i am 6' 2" and was riding a blaster up until a few months ago. I wasn't crammed on it, but it is small. you feel like you can just throw it around like a toy. compared to trucks it about the difference between a dakota and a toyota. I think you will enjoy something with a little more power. even if your not used to clutches you will be within a week. You might regret not going bigger. "go big or go home".

If you have your mind set though, it is a nice reliable bike.

...and you'll feel more mannly LOL

Most people over 16 years would like the power of a bigger bike.
Younger people don't mind not being the best thing out there, they ride for fun.
