I'm thinking about buying a used Blaster and was wondering what size some of you owners are. I'm 5'11, 195lbs. Do they feel cramped? Is there enough power to keep a ~200 pounder excited? I can't really afford a Warrior or Banshee, so these seem like the next best thing. I just sold my dirtbike and thought I would try the ATV's awhile. I'm not planning to race, just trails and maybe the beach now and again. Thanks for any comments.

Thats pushing it a little. I think you should test drive one and see how you like it.

 

I'm 6' and 190lbs. and I have no problem riding a Blaster. It's fast enough to give me a thrill. I'm sure bigger would be better but for the price you can't beat em. In a drag race, with the same size rider on a Honda 350X, I get beat by 10-20ft.

 

I have a Y2K Blaster I am 6'0 205 and I enjoy the machine. I also have a Honda Fourtrax 4 stroke, the Blaster is peppy and high reving, smokes a lot of 4 strokes in Drags.............They are fun bikes.................

 

I just got mine. I am 6'0 195, i'm fine on it. I felt a little cramped at first but it goes away after riding a little.

They are a blast to ride..hence the name!

 

I am 6'2" and 175lbs. I got the Blaster for my wife to ride. But after riding it, I love it! It is small for slow trail riding, i.e. always sittng down. But I do all woods riding, and it is perfect, I can throw it around in the cureves, and get into tight spots fine. And I do not sit down on it for too long. Very fun with Holeshots! Try it, you might like it.

 

I have been looking into a Blaster also, I went to a dealer and sat on one, I didn't ride it, but I got a good feel for it. I didn't feel cramped at all, I am 6'2 and about 150.

 

IM 6"1 i have a blaster it is a good bike i dont feel cramped unless im on whoops or braking bumps on a race track then you start banging you knees on the fenders and handle bars but like somebody said if all you do is trail riding then go for it But if you want to race your quad then i would go with something a bit bigger like a 250r or banshee
