2001 Yamaha Blaster

Pros: Looks, power, inexpencive
Cons: of course, the brakes

I bought a 2000 Yamaha Blaster in November of 1999. I thought it may have been a little too small for me and that this little quad probably wouldn’t be fast enough and powerful enough for me. I needed it to get through some tough winters in Buffalo and I...

Pros: price, power, ease of maintenance
Cons: only 200cc, no rev, no brakes

My Blaster isn't quite old enough to vote yet, but it still runs with the big dogs. It is a great entry level sport quad. You don't have all those pesky add-ons like racks or reverse but who are you kidding, you didn't pay for those either. Brand new you...

Pros: acceleration,top speed, reliable
Cons: brakes, narrow wheelbase

I was looking around for an atv for about 1 whole year and i ended up with a blaster. I was looking at it and thought it was not what i wanted. I was leaning towards a 300ex. It was a lot nicer(reverse, electric start) but when i saw a 1995 blaster on a...

Pros: Trail riding legend.
Cons: Grab one if you can!

Blaster, trail bustin, tree tearin son of a gun! My blaster happens to be of an older model year but the changes I have noticed seem to be few in this years model. Experiences with the Blaster were fantastic. Living in the country...

Pros: Fast, cheap and just plain fun!
Cons: No reverse/electric start, Not to reliable

I bought a Yamaha Blaster in February 2001 and found out that I couldn't have found a better way to spend my 3000 dollars. For being a small 200cc ATV this bike is fast. I have dragged a 300ex and beaten it. I've been led to like this bike a lot...

Pros: Lightweight, speed, good looks, nice sound w/ a pipe; not homemade!
Cons: 4 stroke sound w/ stock pipe, stock tires are iffy

Pros: Affordable, great styling, gripper seat, oil injection
Cons: BRAKES, limited suspension adjustment

Overall, the Blaster is a great machine for the money. You get great looks, good multi-purpose tires, and even the luxury of not having to mix the oil and the gas. This machine can be jumped as well as blasted through tight trails with ease. With the...

Pros: Quick, peppy 2-stroke a blast to race both drag and course
Cons: short wheelbase, poor headlighting

I bought this quad because I live around 100 acres of great riding. My good friend and neighbor was selling this bike because he also has a warrior and didn't need both anymore. Getting used to this bike wasn't too challenging, the only thing was...

Pros: VERY quick, Has plenty of power, Nice looks
Cons: oil injector, dont fill it up too much!

Im only 15 and it has been a very snowy season in New York. All my friends had quads which made me very mad. I got a small job and started to look for a quad. I needed something inexpensive but reliable.I wanted a honda 250ex but that was way out of my...

Pros: Fast For The Price, Very modifiable,
Cons: flips easily until you get used to the handling, breaks are bad

I have a 1995 yamaha blaster. The only differences between the 95 and 2001 are the lights and rear grab bar. I ride my quad constantly. At least 30 hours a week. By the end of that week I seem to be the only person who doesnt end up fixing a broken...

Pros: Cheap.
Cons: Self Lube

Yamaha Blaster.

Well, theres not much to the thing. Just a dismal 2 stroke air cooled 199cc engine, and dinky frame, and some bulbus tires.

ITs OK for the price. You get $3000 worth of quad, but thats it.

Reliability is...

Pros: Cheap, Sporty, Light, Peppy two-stroke motor, Decent Jumper.
Cons: Dated Suspension, Sub-par breaks, Frequent maintainance.

The blaster is indeed a blast to ride! Last Christmas, one of my friends was in dire need of a quad, but was a little straped for cash. I was tired of hearing him complain that he couldn't afford anything, and I needed someone to ride with, so I loaned...

Pros: Excellent Handling; Comfortable ; Fast; Brilliant Chassis Design
Cons: It's a con free quad. But if there are cons I have not experienced them.

"For under $3000, the Blaster is a bulletproof quad capable of winning the Paris-Dakar Rally." So wrote 4-Wheel ATV Action magazine*, and, frankly, I couldn't have said it any better.

Potent two-stroke power, class-leading chassis design and...

Pros: Good entry level two stroke for a reasonable price.
Cons: No frills, small stance, mediocre braking.

After I decided to buy an ATV, I had to find one that matched my budget, (around $3,000). I looked at the papers and bike trader magazines and did as much research on them as possible. I also had in mind that I wanted to get a quad for my kids. After...

Pros: Great, Fast, and Well Built Machine.
Cons: Oil overflow pipe is in bad location.

I got a 1998 Yamaha Blaster awhile back, after my 1985 Suzuki Quadrunner's transmission broke. I've rode everywhere from flat farm area's where I live, sand dunes at the Little Sahara Park in Oklahoma along with many other places where sand dunes are,...
