Thinking about getting a blaster for my girlfriend. But i have never rode one and no very little about them. Can any one tell me how they ride or if it would even be a good choice?

I think they are 40lbs heavier than a SJ which makes them 35lbs lighter that a SXR. IMO they are fun to ride and turn on a dime and launch very well.

Not to mention the excellent 144 pump and Yamaha motor with TONS of upgrade-ability.

If you can not or will not be getting a SJ then a blaster would be great!

I have a 750 with a 800 motor. Im just looking for something fun and easy to ride for my girlfriend. Ive done some reading and from what i understand, the b2's or easier to ride then a b1. Is that correct?

That is because they are totally diff boats and no one wants the B2's!

Get her a SJ and you will end up taking it over and letting her ride the SXi 800....or you will ride and love both and so will she...win win...

I would love to get her a stand up but she doesn't want one or will even try riding mine. She needs a sitdown that is easy to ride and takes little skill.

From experience you'll end up riding the b1 more. Their alot of fun

it's a win win situation. You can say you bought her a ski yet you can ride it whenever you want...

I just got one and they are not like riding a typical sitdown. They turn on a dime and can tip over on a dime, after they tip over then the fun begins trying to get back up on it. I can get up on it fairly easy but some people can't get on it if there life was depending on it. With that said they are a great ski to have and ride and a lot of fun. My suggestion is try one out if you can to see if she will like it!!!
