blaster: pros and cons.

[TrikerR]

whats everyone think of the blaster for trail and dune machine.

Perfect starter quad. Cheap price new. Aftermarket parts are very reasonably priced. They have pretty good power. The machine is small light wieght and short. I like that cause you can throw it around easily, but for a big guy this is probably not the machine.

I always see tons of blasters at little sahara, but I think they would make a better trail machine.

Blasters are great machines. Quick for there size. Parts are very easy to come by. Price is very reasonable. You can pick up a used one pretty cheap too!

Now that they come with full hydraulic brakes ... there are no cons :cool:

Only down side is if you happen to be big guy. If your under 180 lbs, and not particularly tall, youll love it. Only thing Ill disagree with is characterizing the Blaster as a beginner quad. They often get used as one because they are the next logical step after a kid outgrows his mini quad, because of its physical size, but I wouldnt call it a beginners quad. Experienced smaller guys and a lot of women are happy and content with them.

cheap right off the show room, you can get parts just about anywhere and they are quicker than most ppl give them credit for

Parts parts parts.. there are a ton of aftermarket parts for these.

After seeing Tri-Z_Jim riding his blaster around at Haspin I've been thinking about getting one myself :p

I love riding my brothers piped 03 blaster with a 2 inch swing arm extender. The biggest con is the stock shocks are garbage.
