Let me start off by saying this is in no way a diss to the blaster, if you think it is, reread the post.
My first avt i bought was a 2000 blaster and i thought it was the ulitimate beast. I had to be carefull to keep it from standing up on me doing turn arounds under full throttle. Fast forward a few months, i bought a tired 2007 outlaw 500 and spent more money on it fixing it that i paid for it. This atv is pretty dam good in my opinion, execpt it is a high maintanence machine. I had been riding the outlaw exclusively. I let whoever comes over ride the blaster just so i have someone to ride with.
Tonight i was outside sucking some beers down and decided to give it a whirl just for the heck of it. I was stuned as to how slow the pick up was, being used to riding a 500. However if the blaster had as good of shocks as the outlaw,(no im not spending 1500 buck to put works on there), i could still make laps in about the same time as the other larger atv. You have to admit that being able to scream between two trees that close together has advantage when the bigger one would hook a tire. My blaster willl allways be my first love<yea i know it sounds stupid, but>im in love with the power of the outlaw.
If i had to go all the way across the country from one shore to the other and had to choose one, i would choose the blaster, it is bullet proof. The outlaw makes me wonder when something is gonna break, its way to complex a machine to depend on.
Just to put a point of view to this, im closer to 50 than 40 and being able to sit down and ride thru sh*t that would buck your ass off the blaster has made me lazy. If you have second love, let us know, im looking to buy a automatic so i can ride my son and have a free hand to hold him, just in case. Just in case you are wondering, i go very slow when i am riding my son. I want to have fun with him, and this is one way i know that he will enjoy it as much as me. PS, i bought him a raptor, but he isnt allowed to ride it by himself, he is only 6. I cant wait till he gets bigger and can keep up with daddy!!!!!!!!!
