Is it worth it to buy one? I am considering buying one. I will race a few motocross races on it but not too many. I would be buying this machine for a fun/trail riding machine for my family as well as myself.

It depends on how big you are...its a rather small bike not meant for larger/taller people...its a good bike though that is reliable...My suggestion would be to ride on and see for urself.

You're not gonna like it if you're over 5'6" or so. I've ridden one, and I was really cramped. I even feel cramped on my Warrior. But ride it for yourself and see.

Well I am 5'7'' but this quad would be for the whole family to enjoy.

i have ridden a blaster and im 5'7" and it felt physically small on me yes there a great machine but you should really go sit and if you could possibly ride one that would be the best way to tell if it was what you want or to small i personally like the fell of a bigger machine but thats just me .

Yes I think it would be small for me but I am considering buying it for my family.

That is what I am thinking about doing :twisted:

 

[rage]

WHat exactly do you mean by family..
I certainly wouldn't let any kids under 12 on a 450 let alone a 400.
And truthfully if its for the family you might want to look at something practical instead of the newest thing out there.

Well how much? I have a great deal on a 2000 with a few mods.

i rode my 95 till the wheels fell off they are great trail machines and EXTREMELY reliable !! i never had a worry other then brakes but hey the new ones have hydro brakes !! cant go wrong with that !!

 

[SkinRider]

well I think i am going to go for this. i'll let you guys know when i buy it.

im 6-2, 175 ibs and i race a blaster. im big but i can race it good and i dont feel to cramped but thats most likley because i dont really ride anything else.. if i got on a banshee or a z for a while and went back to a blaster im sure i would feel way to big for it.. but i like my blaster.. im selling it later in the summer and getting a yfz but im gonna cry when it leaves i have stuck neatly every penny i have earned into that thing over the last 3 years that i have had it

 

[FoxRydeR]

YEah I am lookng for a used blaster that needs some work. If anyone is selling one in Pa let me know.

Blasters would not be good for MX at all. If you want a good family trail quad I would say Warrior. Blasters are kinda small and I dont like their lack of power.

 

[~tyler!]

man blasters are allright but im sellin mine to get a yz 85! :lol

I agree 100%. If you want something all around for the family, I would go with a warrior or a 300EX or something. If you are going to MX it, I don't think you'd be happy with anything less than a 400EX, Z400, YFZ, etc.

i think your wrong about blaster not being good at mx they are awsome at mx they are light you can throw them around a corner with no problem i race one and im 5'10 and i think it works perfect and bein underpowered thats why you mod it mines got a 240 kit motor dont by ct its a fast machine! heres a pic of it! this is what you can do to a blaster if you really want a mx machine!
