raptor 250 for blaster

[blasters/banshees]

my buddys has a 08 raptor 250 that looks brand new he has the trail viper thing on since day one it has 128mi on it he said he will trade it for my blater that is stock with new tires and in rought shape and I have to give him 1000 I paid 1200 for my blaster is this a far trade ooo and his raptor has a gytr pipe

 

[tjsdaname]

if you want it, get it....

 

[visipe]

i would definitely do it, not that i dont love my blaster a lot but its a good deal and 4 strokes are more reliable now... and that 250 is prety sweet thye kinda look like the blasters and they are prety fast aswell

 

[ruthless_one3k]

base price on the rappy is almost 3900 so it would be an economical choice but the best advice I can give is take it for a ride and ask yourself is it worth it. The value may be higher but is it what you want.

 

[blasters/banshees]

yea I was thinking that it looks sweet you cant even tell it has the trail viper thing its perfectly mounted in where the reverse and neutral light use to be. performance wise how will I like it better then my blaster and is the raptor bigger than the little blaster I mostly jump few straigt top out runs mostly freestyle stuff I actally think I should get a 450 but I cant affored one so is this the best for me I love my blaster but they handle like crap in the air

 

[visipe]

they are about the same size, more reliable once again, better suspension

 

[blaster99]

i would

my friend has a stock rapter 250 i would take the 250 if your just going to trail ride and if you want to mx with it your going to need to do some real work and $ your gonna need +a-arms +axel +swingarm and sh*t like that i rode the 250 and going over the whoops i felt like i was going to flip cuz the shocks suck and it wasint wide but then again you would have to get that stuff for your blaster to.

thats the blaster sorry it took some time to make that

 

[blasters/banshees]

the raptor specs look alot more apelling becuase of the weight can someone get a pic of a raptor 250 next to a blaster becuse the blaster is mad small and ivv only seen this quad once more a school buddy we really dont hang out

 

[xsicxxx]

the blaster and the rapter are just about the same as in lenth and with. my bud has one and we put them together side by side and if my blaster didnt have + parts on it they would be the same realy the only dif is that i see when were riding is that he cant realy go over big jumps or in the whoops and the blaster is faster.but with looks hes got me there untill i repaint everything lol

 

[DUALSTROKE]

Dirt wheels has done a few write ups on the raptor 250 compared to the blaster.The blaster was faster on top but about the same on bottom.It's up to you but money wise it may be a better deal.You could also put a grand into the blaster and smoke him all day long.lol

 

[darealblaster]

i sold my old blaster 96, for a raptor 250 and so far im not missing one bit of the blaster,stock for stock the raptor beats the blaster,AND I HAVE BOTH SO I KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT..the blaster does beat the raptor 250 on top but by lil nothing big, the raptor does have ALOT more torque than the blaster and better bottom end,all around it's a better trail bike.

Heres the other side,if your gonna pour money into the bike,do engine work...id stay with the blaster,it's ALOT easier to upgrade and theres already alot of parts for it while the rappy is still waitin on performance parts for it.(hey it's only been around 1 year what do you expect) i mean 2 strokes are better choice over 4 stroke if your gonna work on it and put and take parts..the raptor is lil wider, it has better suspension and is alot user friendly,ergonomics are f*cking great in the raptor,but then again if your gonna go all out and pour money into a quad keep the blasty,if your going to keep it stock or just jetted,pipe and filter it id choose the raptor.

Also if your gonna decide to trade the blasty for it,TEST RIDE THE RAPTOR! IF YOU FEEL IT WEAKER THAN THE BLASTER SOMETHING IS WRONG SO DO NOT TRADE IF THIS IS THE SITUATION,IF YOU FEEL IT WITH MORE TORQUE THEN ITS FINE.B-) hope this helps buddy

 

[97BoredOutBlasta]

Honestly, my good riding buddy had one for a summer before he got his yfz450, and i would have to say that the raptor 250 is a gutless pile. They are made for girls and little kids. sorry, my blaster killed that thing everywhere. no power even with the GYTR pipe which he also had. It was a kinda fun because it was light, but still, id rather have my blaster anyday.

 

[darealblaster]

^^^don't know what da f*ck your talking about,your friend's raptor must have been blown or something becuz my raptor spanks the blaster and even more now that i added some goodies,and ive spanked 2 other blasters also,one was my friends and the other my cousins,so i know what im talking about..your friends must have been blown

 

[Brent Johnvin]

umm... am not for sure if i would i like blasters because you can do a lot of modifications to them to make them faster and more HP raptors are pritty fast but a blaster the right mods can smoke a raptor 250

 

[darealblaster]

^^^true,it all depends what you want it for.but if your gonna kep it close to stock the raptor is a better choice all around but if your going to pour moeny into it,BLASTER best choice no contest
