Awww man blasters are great fun, Im 23 160-170 6'3 and have no problem with blasters lacking power, they are great you can beat the h#ll out of them, quite the ride also its so small that it makes you feel like you are going a heck of alot faster than you acutally are. Only draw back is they are horrible in the mud, besides that they rule, fast ride got the 2-stroke ummph and 6spd with clutch..

I have a 2000 Warrior and my 13 year old son has a blaster. Both have pipes, K & N filters, AMP links, and the Blaster has a Boyesen rad valve. He has no problem keeping up with me except on the extreme high end. He is 5'9" and weighs 135 lbs. Blasters rock!

I am 140 and 6'2 and ride a blaster.Sure it does get cramped at times but the power and performance make up for that.And as far as power mine is bored,ported,.025 pro-x piston and boyesen reeds and it will pull the fron tires up pretty easily in 1st-3rd gear.

How can an ATV that brings joy to thousands of enthusiasts be good for nothing? Quite a negative perspective if you ask me. Bang for the buck, you cannot beat a Blaster. Add a few dollars in modifications and you end up with a screaming ride for less than $3500. Grow up 3Raptor8.
