Default New Blaster?

With 2-stroke technology going out the door, will Yamaha make a 4-stroke Blaster? Maybe they'll make a 250 Blaster with DOHC.

if anything they will make the blaster a 400cc 4-stroke cuz to make for the power of a 2-stroke you need double the displacement , if they make a 250cc 4-stroke, it willbe jipping many futur blaster owners inthe power area, just imagine driving a 125cc 2-stroke blaster, it wouldnt be the same as a 200cc 2-stroke

Where did you get those numbers? A 2-stroke does not create 2X the power of a 4-stroke with equal displacement. There are many things to consider.

Actually, its close to that. A 200 blaster will beat a 300 and some 350's. a 250r will beat many 400's. the zilla will kill a raptor and kfx700. so we are looking at something like 1.75 to 1 or so.

The blaster will not be a 400cc thumper, that is the warrior's job. And since the warrior redesign, if you can call it that, is still a 2 valve, sohc, air cooled 350, dont look for a 400 anytime real soon from yammi.

why would yammi make a 400? that would make no sense they just made a 450 that has set the bar very high for other companies to reach(my opinion).

Yamaha has a new Raptor 350 now... That will make the sales of the Warrior go way down
Wonder how the power on the 350 is
