Well...I started out on a Blaster and bought a Banshee after a year or so. If you think a Warrior is too heavy for you, you might want to test ride a 'shee before you buy it(a Banshee is just as heavy). A Banshee is going to handle better than a warrior and Blaster, but you won't be able to throw the 'shee around like you can with a Blaster. Also....a Banshee requires much more maintenance than a Blaster (remember a Banshee has two carbs to jet, and sychronize). And like Wassup350 said, you've got two cylinders, pistons, and rings. But as long as you keep up on maintenance, shee's as reliable as any other quad. If you were modding your Blaster, I bet sooner or later you will be modding a banshee.
