New guy in CT

[Blastered]

Hi all,

I have been lurking for a while and I am finally getting serious about buying a blaster. I used to ride quads when I was in high school but that was over 10 years ago. At the time I owned a Quadsport LT230.

I am looking to buy a blaster to get back into riding, just for fun mostly and to have a new hobby. I am also interseted in the blaster because they are inexpensive and parts are readily available for modding. I am very interested in modding the blaster as well, since that is just as much a fun hobby as riding them I'm sure.

This forum seems like an awesome place and I plan to garner as much information as possible with the search function and ask a lot of questions too!

Welcome to the forum. If your used to a 230, you will love the power of a Blaster even in stock form.

I live in Guilford (on the shoreline, about 15 minutes east of New Haven). I will definately look into Ken Oconnor Racing.

Thanks to all the other welcome replies... the more I read the more I want to buy one immediately. I have been trying to take my time to get the best deal, and I still want to do a little research. Not sure if I want one that some mods (suspension primarily) already done, or start from scratch.

If you can find a Stock one for cheap go for it , But if you find something modded make sure the po know what they have , if not sometimes its a good thing and you can get it Cheaper !

At least get a 03+ one so ya have hydraulic brakes all the way around. If it has some works or elka shocks all the better if the price is right!

Welcome. One of the sales people at the shop has 3 Blasters for sale. He's going to Bike Week on Saturday and I'm sure he can use some extra cash. I may be able to get you a smoking deal. Give me a call.

I would not be ready to pull the trigger on something that quickly, but I still may be interested in the future. Are they modded at all? I'm Looking for something pretty close to stock, maybe with some suspension upgrades only.

He sold one of them yesterday for $600. Bone stock and everything worked fine. The remaining two are pretty much stock and in good shape.
