hey thumperMX

well, i've been researching and find out info on Quading. i thinks im too much of a ***** to play with a dirt bike like you do, and well my search lead me to this little vid. kinda made me think what kind of crazy things you probably do with your bike.

(gotta follow the little clicky things but well worth it)

I knew what the video was before I even opened it.

I have friends with both the YFZ450 and TRX450. They are both very amazing machines, even the new LTZ400 by Suzuki is a nice choice since they just totally re-did the suspension and made it more so race ready like Honda and Yamaha did.

If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask.

lol hey thumper, i just had to do it. i saw the vid and right away thought of you cuz of your sig.

well after searching high and low i ran across this website http://atvflorida.com/ and joined their forum, alot of great peeps and informative bunch....theres a 2003 yamaha blaster for 2600 (http://www.atvflorida.com/forum/inde...ic,3870.0.html) and some of the peeps are telling me that, it would be a great beginners bike seeing that i've never even done anything of the sort.

maybe you can take a look at it and give me a heads up if that is something i should consider. i love watching the sport on tv and stuff. but i've never really tried to get into it. thanks in advance mate.

maybe someday we'll meet up and hit up some dirt

It says he lives in Florida..

Where in Florida?

I don't see getting a Blaster as a good finacial choice only because you'll be wanting something more, more than likely. Quads if you know your limatations are safer in that sense than dirtbikes. Now if you got way too much of a dirtbike things could start to get nasty.

O, o well i cant sell this damn thing, a guy across town wanted it but not anymore.
Blaster?? not bad but like thumper said youll want more, a Z or YFZ(i think thats right) would be a real good choice if your really want some performance. Honda makes a good one too. I read that Suzuki is coming out with a higher performance version than the 400.

Yes, its a Suzuki.

The MSRP is $5,899.

The only thing I HATE is the blue seat. Id definatly have to get a black seat cover for it.

2006 LTZ400

I have one and id honestly go with a Yamaha or the new honda, the z however is probably a better starter bike but it cant match the others on power but its still allot.

I've seen plenty of Zs that keep up with the TRX/YFZ 450s.

Personally I don't like the plastics on the TRX450 and if I got one I'd go with a white/red YFZ450.

The z is real good in the turns but everytime the damn YFZ just edges me out in the straights. That cherry color is sweet. I did beat the dumbass on the YFZ at the track thow he ate ***** on a little tabletop.
Both are good machines take your pic.
Ya the honda plastic is ugly but not as ugly as the arctic cat version of the z.

im probably gonna end up going with a 2500-3000$ bike. dont wanna spend 6-8k on a bike and end up not liking the sport. besides if i dont like that 2600$ blaster the guy is offering i will more than likely be able to resale at the same price i bought it for. wheras if i buy a new one i will end up losing some cash. maybe i will be like blah i shoulda gotten something bigger with the blaster being a 200cc or maybe itll do me go for a year or so when i can afford getting a rad 450-660cc bike. however thanks for the info i greatly apperciate it, who knows maybe i might get lucky and find a 400ex or a Z on ebay for 2500$!
