I need some reasons why I mean I heard Blasters good, but then your talking about small and 150cc difference of the 2.

well the blaster will be a litlle snappier, and in my opinion mor fun, but it will also be a little more work. the shocks on a blaster are not the greatest, but you will be able to do some jumps. i would go with the blaster over the warrior, but that is just me.

Having been around both machines I would be faster and have more fun on the blaster.

The blaster weighs over 80 pounds less than the warrior and since its a two stroke it is much more responsive. The blaster has good power to weight ratio in stock form.
No reverse on the blaster, but in our woods it was so easy just to pick up and turn around if you had a problem.

Also, a lot of this will depend on your weight. I weigh in at 165 so the blaster fits me pretty good. The warrior will fit someone else much larger. Then with the warrior do you value electric start and reverse.

I have nothing against either machine, but I feel like you get more bang for the buck with the Blaster and even more so with the 2003 and up models.

k when your comparing ccs its 2stoke vrs 4stroke usually a rule of thumb is for 4strokes you need twice the displacement to make it similar power wise so 200vrs 350 there actually pretty close
BLaster- a smaller version of a shee
pros
2stokes responds to mods better you put a pipe on a blaster it wakes up alot
the blaster is 80lb lighter
more snappy and sporty
new 03 has disk brakes all around
cheaper better value
Warrior - more of a trail quad
pros
more roomey if your a bigger guy
reverse

I personally love my Warrior, I admit that it can't keep up with some of the top noch sports quads, but for the price you can't beat it. It's more reliable than the 2-stroke blaster. It depends what type of riding u wanna do.

They are really both good ATV"s, if anything it is going to be up to your weight and how tall you are. I own a Blaster and it really is a lot of fun. I,m 5,11 and 240 pounds. Alittle big for it but it throughs me around like a rag doll. I have never had any problems with the Blaster.

my brother has both a 99 warrior and a 00 blaster. he definately likes the warrior better. he is like 5'11" and 145-150lbs. there are mostly trails and some jumps around where we live. the blaster definately is a better jumper, but the warrior is a better all around quad. the warrior is good for any kind of riding we do which is mostly dirt and paved trails(roads) and some jumping. He has taken his warrior thru mud/water that some 4x4's got stuck in. the blaster is less expensive stock but good used warriors can be found he got his 99 warrior in 00 or 01 and it looked very clean and in very good condition, he got it for $2,000 w/ skids and bumpers and aftermarket chain. stock, they are real close in a race, but the warrior has a higher top speed. overall i would choose the warrior for the type of stuff we do, i have ridden both of his quads. and like i said before my brother definately likes his warrior better.

Hi,

I own a 99 warrior and in my opinion for a all around quad the warrior is the best option. Take in cosideration also your size and wieght, because the blaster is smaller than the warrior.

Cheers
