Yes, you are too big. And there are plenty of guys your size riding Blasters. My son is 5' and weighs 90 lbs. He rides a 660 Raptor. It fits him perfectly.
.....And a Blaster is a lot of quad for the money. It has real suspension and real power, and more available. It is the cheapest real quad out there. There are better quads out there for you, but they are all a lot more dough. You could be on a 400EX or the new Suzuki, or a Warrior. You might find a better used quad for the same dough as a new Blaster.

I'm 5'10 195 and have a 2000 blaster and love it.Everyone I ride with have bigger quads and bigger payments(I found mine for $1500,4 months old).I think I would look around for a good deal or something you like.Ive had a half dozen quads, and for the price,I'll keep this one till it dies.

I am 6'1" 200lbs, and I love my Blaster. It is by far the best bang for the buck. They are cheep, reliable, and tons of fun.. Go with the blaster you will not be sorry..

i'm 5'10 and 155 lbs, mine did great, now my brother has it and he tops the scales at 198 and is 5'11. we've ridden for hours and he has never complained about anything. nice thing about the blaster is that you can get a fairly new on real cheap.

I am 5'6 and 130lbs and i just got a banshee. I used to have a blaster and loved it. Mine lasted for ten years w/o a top end or any thing. I put some stuff on it. A procircut pipe/siclencer, ac nerfs and bars and a new top end. They are a good all around bikes but if you think u r too big then get a extended axel and better suspension. But u r deffently not to big. It really depends on the riding you do. If you are playing in the dunes of forest i would suggest you get one.but if not and you have the $$$ then get a 400ex, Warrior, or the new suziki. U can pick up a good warrior for 2000 or up.
