Try to find an 03 and up blaster with the hydraulic brakes that is the key difference in them besides the different hood/headlight. They are so much better than the old drum brakes. I've owned a 96 blaster and now have an 04 model. You should have no problem finding one for 1600 or less. Once you start modifying one they are awesome machines..

you sound like a pretty big kid a blaster is pretty small you could get a decent 400ex for about 1600 and that would smoke a blaster

A $1600.00 400ex may not even run, so to say it would smoke a blaster would be stretch. Stock hp on a 400ex and the hp of a slightly modifyed blaster are real close. If you are a big kid (140+) you may want the bigger bike thou
