    blasters

    personally, I would never own a blaster, theres a reason why you can pick um up so cheap, in bulk!

    If their cheap, and for your girlfriend to do some easy riding, I say go for it.

    heck, if the price was right i would break down and buy one.

    Great little machines, loads of aftermarket. I'd never own one but I'm a pretty big guy.

    They are a great machine. Good power, good suspension, good handling for a smaller quad. If your a big guy I wouldn't buy one you'll just be to cramped. I enjoy riding them little small for me (I'm 5'11" 190)but I love the way I can throw them around.

    With a pipe, intake they have craploads of power.

    I know the brakes are kind of a problem with them always need adjusted.
    I had the RIGHT to remain silent, I didn't have the ability!

    They are awesome machines. A simple pipe, jetting and abox change and your good to go. Not to mention Banshee parts are real cheap and can upgrade a Blaster to real hyd brakes.

    If you are 5-8" and under you should fit will. At 5-10" I felt cramped on it but still loved it. My exgf was able to ride it with no problem and there is a thrttle limiter if she needs to get use to it, good lock!

    i have had my blaster for well over two years, bought it used, put some money into it to improve looks and handling, a bit into the motor over two years ago, and have not had a bit of a problem at all with mine. the thing starts first or second kick everytime. and i ride it faithfully everyweekend and i ride it hard. it will keep up with my bros quadracer and walks on many warriors and other bikes. the thing is just bad *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited*.

    Honestly, I could care less about the money. It's the fact that he lied and stole from me, even 1$ is too much. If just one person doesn't buy from him because of that statement then thats repayment enough...

    what!? ARE YOU SERIOUS!? man if I had a 350x you would have to kill me before I would trade it for a blaster, and any ways its going to be fo rmy girlfreind, She hates my R but feals safer on a quad, plus a blaster is just right for her, speed and size. why would you want to trade, how much just to sell?
