Hey, Since yamaha is going to discontinue their 2-strokes does anyone have a clue what their going to replace it with or if they are going to replace it? It Doesnt make since that they wouldnt replace it cause almost everyone has owned a blaster or knows someone who has.

 

There was rumor the Blaster may slip through a loophole of some sort. I would love to see it get replaced with a performance oriented 250 four stroke. Something light with e-start and reverse.

 

Ya, either would be nice. Can't wait to see what happens.

 

it would be pretty sweet if they put their yz250f motor in an updated blaster frame and called it a yfz250[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img].

 

Yeah, I'm with you guys. They need something in that 250cc 4-stroke class to compete with the 250ex and Z250. Those bikes, and mainly the Honda pretty much rule that. It of course would need to be e-start and have reverse. Not sure on shaft drive though. Need something to make it stand apart.

Hopefully they don't call it the Raptor 250 either!

Im hopping that the blaster stays and that they improve the motor a little maybe liquid cooled or something would be nice but keep it a TWO STROKE[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

First of all,...forget the YZ250F engine.
