You aren't to heavy, but you are WAY TO TALL!! I am 5' 7", and the Blaster is way small for me.

yeah, you are way too tall, you should look towards a 400ex

I've seen all sizes of people riding blasters. It must depend on how much of your height is legs.

I have considered getting a blaster but I have heared that it is on the small side. I am 6'2" and 140 lbs. Would it be a small for me? Thanks!

Well my pants length is 34" so I guess I have long legs.

wow 6.2, 140, a teen no doubt. sit on one, see how ya feel. my neighbor is 6'2" about 150, and he rides my blaster all the time! and he's 15 years old....
you may want to change the bars to clear yer knees [hehe] but sit on one and see what ya think. they are great fun for a budget price! make plans on getting something larger unless you suddenly stop growing!!!

have fun!

Its up to you, just go to the dealer and sit on one and see if you like it. I am 5'10" and 130lbs and I feel fine on it.

I don't think your too tall. I'm 6'1" 150 and I fit fine!! I have never really hit my knee's, but u don't go zippin aroun a turn where you have to turn sharp!

I think you want a bigger four wheeler, Im 6'1 and when I ride my girlfreinds blaster, because I have to sit back further on the seat, the front end is really lite and I end up riding wheelies all the time. But I fit perfect on my lt250r.

buy a quad that YOU FIT!! I'm 6'4" and 220lbs, I was thinking about buying a 400ex but it was way too small for me! so I bought one that fit (for a thousand dollars more) but I got room to spare, and it's pretty fast too! just as fast as the 400ex. zoom zoom

you shoud buy a kawasaki mojave there a little bigger but they both are fun with evenly matched power?

I'm 6,0 and pant leg 32. Ive rode my friends Blaster with no problem operating it, but am much more comfortable on my lt250. I almost bought a Blaster but am now glad I didn't.

My friend is 6'2 and he says it is way to small and gets to be uncomfortable so you should get something bigger

I have a Blaster for sale if you are interested. Its a 1988, and I am selling it for $1500. PM me for more info.

I have never road on a Blaster. but my friend just bought a 87' Honda trx200sx (very small quad), I am 6'4" at 175 and I have a blast on it. I like a smaller bike so I can man handle it.

you are too tall for one but that can easily be fixed. A few extended parts or extensions and you should be alright. It wont look wierd if it is wider and longer. Plus it will handle really well for you

I apologize in advance for bringing up an old thread, but I have a question. I was riding this weekend (first serious ride I've ever done!) on my 87 LT230S and was wondering if it was to small for me? I'm 6'2" 200lbs. How does a LT230S compare to a LT250? I can't spend a lot of money on a new bike so if you guys have any suggestions on older quads, I'm all ears.
