Question for Blaster owners

[Hadar]

I've been thinking about getting a blaster for trail riding. I sometimes use a 93 warrior which I'm not happy with or proud of. I find myself wanting to ride my 82 250r 3 wheeler over the warrior just because I like the 2stroke powerband more. But the handleing is more tricky than the quad and I find myself getting into trouble on some trails. The warrior is just not for me, allthough it does ok for what it is. (a heavy underpowered boat anchor) My questions are, Does the blaster do good on tight trails? Hows the suspension? and Would you rather use a blaster or a warrior for just playing around on? Any thoughts or opinions on this would be helpful.

I have never ridden a warrior or with one.

 

But I have ridden on and with a blaster, and they dont have any problems staying right up with my on tight trails thats for sure.

 

If I had one only thing I would wanna change for sure would be front brakes.

I think they handle great on tight trails and the suspension does a good job for that type of riding as well. You can beat the shit out of those bikes and not hurt

them. I rolled my old blaster quite a few times and it always came out straight.

I've rolled my banshee a couple of times and something always gets bent broke tweaked or otherwise jacked up.

blasters are fun as hell... throw banshee front socks and 400ex rear shock on that... awsome suspention.... and once you start modding them witch is cheep as hell... they get even more wild... i still have 1 lol

Great for smaller riders, but I was way too big for mine. I blew it up and sold it. It was really fun while it was running though.

I had a blaster, fun as hell but kinda big for it..I put everything on it but a big bore kit and nos.. It would beat a 400ex untill top end, Awsome on trails becouse of it being so small and light...I loved it untill my brother let me ride his banshee about 4 years ago and felt the power... so as you probebly know I sold my blaster and got a banshee..

Thanks for the responses. I guess now I'm wondering if I'm too big for a blaster, even for a play around ride. I'm 5'8" and 210 lbs. Will I even fit on it? God I hope so, they look like alot of fun. I have only seen one up close and that was quite some time ago. Hey, sp1tekiller were you too tall or too heavy to be comfortable on your old one? If ya don't mind me asking.
