Considering you wanted a Blaster and it is probaly to small, i would get a raptor. If u wanted a small bike to begin with, the raptor isn't for you. I would say a 400ex or Z400, maybe even a 300ex if u don't have much experience.

Well since you may not be able to buy a Raptor....a Blaster should'nt be too small. My son's about 5' 7" and weighs about 140 and it's perfect for him. I'm 6' 1 and 200, and yes it's on the small size for me. The main thing is if you're going to do alot of jumping, my sons blaster seems to jump like a tank compared to my 400EX...

Speaking of Blaster's being too small...

My buddy who had the Shee owned a Blaster before. I never realized how small they really were until we were out riding at an old strip mine one day. We were riding across the crest of a hill and had to take a very sharp right and had to steer with the throttle to get the rear end around so you could drop into this pit. Anyway, I drop down in and turn around to watch my buddy try to come around the corner. He didn't make it and ran the front end over the hill and into the tree. So here's his bike half over the hill (almost like he's cased it on the way down). He takes his feet and puts them on the ground and grabs the handlebars and squats and picks the front of the bike up and walks the front end so it's facing straight down the hill! I couldn't believe I just watched him pick up the front of his bike without ever getting off it, was one of the funniest quad moments I've ever seen. After that ride we joked about how that bike is way too small for him (he's about 6'1" @225lbs.) and 6 months later he sold it.

Too small and no suspension travel if you want to jump.
