Default Blaster Speed and Size

I am wondering what the top speed is for a stock Blaster and a 160lb rider? Also, I am 6'1" would a Blaster be to small for me?

I would think how tall you are is the factor. Look at a Banshee, Warrior, or Raptor, but for the money you can't beat the Blaster.

You will fit till you sit one something else and realize how cramed you were. Im 6'3" and I can sit on a blaster, and I enjoy it, but the blaster dosent. Also My kees get in the way (feel like im on a kiddie toy and wont be comfortable for long). Find something bigger thats used. Dosent bein tall suck? ohh how I want an RX-7 but I cant fit......

Wait a second, my buddy has a RX-7 and i fit fine in the piolit seat. I am 6'2" and 155. I fit quite nice in there too. I also ride my blaster a lot. I seems to fit fine and the blaster does not mind.... You learn to get comfortable and adjust the bars to your liking. Although i am looking into works shocks all the way around in the future...

I'm 6'1" about 145 and my blaster fit's me really good. I wouldn't mind having something a little bigger and something with a little more power. I'm tryin to find a cheap Banshee with Toomey's.

I mean fit comfortably. I dont really fit good in my Ranger, im 6'3" 246. My knees hit the blinkers and I have to scoot the seat way back and sit straight up. Getting out isint fun either. I drove my sisters escort and it was like hell, I had enough room but my head hit the roof and my view was obstructed by that blue thingy at top of windshield. Blasters, I fit on em, but hey, I can also fit on my nieces tricycle, but I dont want anyone making money off of me on Americas Funniest Home Vidoes. Besides, IMO you need atleast one CC per LB of you. But hey if its all you can get, jump on it. Back when I was trying to buy one, If somone would have said I could had a blaster for 1000 bucks, id prolyl still be riddin it now. Thank god I found a cheap warrior. Heck, if it was all I could find in my price range, Id prolly ride an ATC90, and just look real funky, think I would have bought an 12hp motor for my gokart first though....
