all you have to do is look at the spec sheet of a blaster,,,,,,,,let alone compare it to any larger sportbike

Posted by: reconranger

I have not owned a Blaster for many years. Jumped on my friends the other day, and now I remember what fun that little bike is! But truth be told, it is a wee boys and girls bike. It's so much fun, because I can toss it around like a toy!

As for being crap, a Blaster will require a whole lot more rebuilds than a 4-stroke, and the suspension travel is limited.

He He.
Okay this has to be one of the funniest threads i've seen in a while.

I own an 01 STOCK Xplorer 400 last year polaris put out this machine I love it and I'm here to agree with everyone it's not THAT fast. it's quick but not fast.

the Polaris 700 twin i had will out run it after about 40 mph i was impressed with the Xplorer it kept up that long.

Only way it could keep up with my old Raptor and my current Predator is in a 100/200 foo drag on a dirt road when the Xplorer is in 4X4 and you break stand on it a little. on tar the Predator launches 2 bikes on it before i even smack 3rd.

i have womped yfz 450s predators raptors almost every high end race bike.

I got beat by a banshee that was almost done out to its maximum potential. sad loss for mehr>


Guess the air is pretty thin in your part of Canada. Don't know why that 400 you got isn't on the cover of any mags yet.

i have a polaris xplorer 400 2 stroke yep its a 2 stroke.


If it's as bad as you think it is. Race someone for for 50 bucks. Go buy a disposable digital camera, and POST SOME DAMN PICS!
None of mine are race quads, but at least I have proof they exist.

Yeah, I might grow wings on my a$$ and sh!t flying turds too.

My mistake, I made the assumption you peed standing up, sorry.

Posted by: Scootergptx

I just looked outside. I didn't see my bike quivering. Must not be scared.

Posted by: Scootergptx

The only shaking I'm doing is after I pee...standing up.

Posted by: Scootergptx

Officially, what's the difference between womped and wooped. Is one vertical and one horizontal?

Posted by: Scootergptx

Bet mine beats yours to my backyard. And I'll give you a head start.

Posted by: Scootergptx

Later 1bad, gotta hit the highway. Play nice, he's got to get up early and catch the short bus.

Posted by: Scootergptx

Aside from digging a thread up from the past, a blaster is still just a blaster.

If it's so freakin great, why did Yamaha make anything else?

Maybe I shoulda bought a Yami. I guess they're giving away free crack with every blaster.

Posted by: ElectricShift

"you can get a blaster to mach up in speed to a banshe all you have to do is no the right things to do to your bike. "

Then you've spent thousands more on a blaster than you would have if you would have bought a banshee. and it's still a blaster.

I guess I'm thinking of the 240cc ported and polished screamers. You can make those 2-strokes run! Ridden a couple 250r's that would've smoked my 400ex in a drag. And they weren't that modded.

That should be made a sticky so we don't get anymore blaster dissing or blaster luving BR>

tippy yes fun yes. but a cr to a blaster isnt fair. i raced a ds with my rm 250, what kinda race was that??? i could pass the thing when he was topped in 5th and i was still in the bottom portion of 4th,

as many of you know i have a very very fast rm. pics*

Blasters are fun quads you cant argue against it, even though others may be more fun and a lot faster. Personally i cant afford anything better lol, but i dont care. I have a blast on my blaster.

Scotland, quit bitch*ng, and just go ride and have fun. YOu need to be strong, the raptor too, has been underated for the many problems it had, but who cares.

Just be gracefull(spelling) that you own a quad, there's alot of people who wish to own one, but can't afford one.

And we are trying to tell you that you are wrong! Your quad is stock!!!

How come everyone feels it necessary to dismiss the blaster off as being a crap wee boys quad, where in fact it is a fast bike!

Posted by: SlackX

ya right..... u didnt kill it by like 20 lenths unless he sux at riding or u got a port and polish 240 and he was stock. ive raced them in sand and dirt and i only win by a few lenghts..... thats if there piped


its simple, blasters are cheep fun..... i payed 1400 for mine and put 300 into it and i can run with some decent bikes.... im plannin on spending another few hundred on a 4+ swing arm, new tires, reed spacer, hydro brakes, and a boost bottle. if u get a used blaster for say 2000, u could have a hell of a fun bike for under 3000. tahts just my $.02
and i hate the people who think blaster are the fastest thing in the world.... cause stock there prtty slow but like anything els they can be made fast

Craptor? Man why do you have to put down other peoples quads? His 350 rappy is not running right or you got many modes in your blaster. If you keep putting down rappys/warriors one of these days your going to run into one like mine and get you A$$ smoke bad.

It does not matter what you ride just as long as you have fun doing it.

you can get a blaster to mach up in speed to a banshe all you have to do is no the right things to do to your bike.

Posted by: probie

you cannot be serious, i have the same quad as you, the top speed of a stock one is 65, the top speed of a stock 450r is like 75. it is in no way the best quad. you are the most uneducated person on the net.

Posted by: probie

that was in referance to the kid that thinks his xplorer is the best. god i hate people like that, the 450r is made for speed, the xplorer isnt. 4 strokes can be just as fast as 2-strokes.

Posted by: rigz

The yamaha blaster is one of the most underated atvs! If the correct mods are made the blaster is competent to run with alot of other racing bikes including the banshee (mind you is a twin cylinder) a few hundred dollars and some machine work you have yourself a big suprise in a small package!
