Default Blaster vs Banshee?

Hey all, I've had my blaster awhile now, a good 2 years. I am more then comfortable on it and ride it very hard. I love the thing very much and don't really want to give it up..........although I am getting a little craved for more speed. I was thinking about boring it out to 300 cc but has anyone else had experience with doing so? I know the 240 kit is also popular. Anyway should I go with boring it out and getting a new pipe & filter or possibly go with selling it and looking for a Banshee? Sorta tough decision here but I thought other peoples opionions would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

I'd go for a Banshee. Because if you do too much modding to a Blaster it would be very unreliable and blow up easily, If you get a 300 kit it would be like a loaded gun you would go through piston rings like no other and it would be about as fast as a STOCK Banshee. The banshee just has soo much more power and if you ever want to go faster the list never ends.

I would go for a Shee. I also had the same problem, but decided to buy a Shee. No regrets at all.
But what are your current mods? Maybe you can mod it a little more without going to a big bore kit.

I would go with the bansheee too.....but if you really like your blaster and dont plan on hitting any other growth spurts why not keep it for a while and get some mods on it,the bansheee will always be there(untill 2006 maybe)
