Default Last Year For the Blaster???

For years, we have been hearing that the Blater and Banshee are history. Is this the year????

If so, that would leave a huge hole in the Yamaha lineup. What do you all see as a replacement? A YZF250F based machine???

I had hopes that Honda would front a Blaster size/weight machine based on the CRF250X engine, but the 300EX is still in the lineup, so maybe not a chance there.

I think yamaha will come out with a 250 class quad but it will be one sporty in looks only. Some kinda auto of semi auto that would be good for less aggressive kids or women. Dont think they will make a 250 that would compete against the raptor 350.
