Too big for Blaster???
#1
Am I too big for a blaster? 6 ft tall 205 lbs
I want to get a sport quad but do not want to pay a fortune for a quad. I have only ridden a Blaster once and like the way it felt but my wife said it looked too small for me. I am used to riding a big quad but I do not want another big quad.(Polaris) I have nothing against them but their size. I have had my TrailBoss for 2 years with no problems other than replacing the chain dues to high center on a log with a fence in it.
How dependable is a Blaster? I ride a couple times a Month with friends and would ride it to work when it is nice out.
Any input will be nice. Thanks

I think paying more than $4 grand is too much for a new quad no matter if it has a 400 small block under the seat. It is just me, paying around $5500 for a quad that does not have reverse just does not make sense. I like the size and performance of a 300ex but I think it is a little overpriced for what you get. I like the price and performance of the blaster and even the aftermarket performance parts availibility.
I found a left over new 02 model blaster for $2650 , 3009 OTD but can not get it until I sell one or both of mine.

I am 5'9", weigh 170 lbs and have a 2002 Blasters that I purchased in May. Although You could ride this bike and have a good time there is only so far it will take you. I am already begining to outgrown it, so I am going to add a pipe next spring. It would definetely depend on your style of riding though, I love to jump big and climb everyhing.
I have a brother who weighs 280 and has riden mine, but it will only go about 35mph with him on it. It will go 55mph with me on it. I would estmate about 45-50mph for you. That is fast enough to beat a worrior all the way into 6th gear, chew up a 300ex, and keep relatively close to a banshee in the woods. Not to mention that you can't beat the price.

Radandy- a blaster won't chew up a 300ex, ive owned a blaster and my best friend has a 02 300ex and they are pretty tied up, where one excells the other has some downfalls, now to the original question, i am almost 6 foot and weigh like 150, and i have no problem on a blaster, they are cheap fun quads and you can modify it pretty simply to your likings. Since you weigh 205 you are kinda big for it but i have a freind that is almost their and did fine on his for like 3-4 months. The weight limit on these things is 220 i think but just mod it up small and no problems will occur i think.
