big bubba is right they ARENT gunna make the shee into a fourstroke or the blaster if they do it will be a totally new model

 

I hate to hear that a dealer employee would make up stuff like that.....I'm a yamaha Dealer and Yamaha won't even tell us what is coming up for 2006..........we had to wait until mid july to find out exactly what was coming out for 2005.......just so you know.....if any dealer tells you anything about an 06 model........he is either guessing or lie'n.......

 

that pisses me of that makes wonder about buying an atv from there

 

there is one thing i would like to see from yamaha. a 750 twin with a 6 speed that can do 90+mph. it would be to take the twin cylander role in 2006 when the banshee isnt made n e more

 

,,...yeah twin 175..

 

excuise me

 

just quick correction... yamaha announced new models in MID JUNE.

not trying to be a smart@$$.


btw,, i am gonna bump this post the day they announce a 4 stroke banshee or whatever.

 

You won't be bumping this thread cause it wont happen.

The blaster and the banshee will probably not even be replaced. They now have the YFZ which took over the shee's spot. I think the blaster will just be discontuined. Yamaha is probably going to leave all their ATV's above 350cc's, the lowest being the raptor 350.

Shav0 i have to say i definintly do not see that happening. the blaster has always been their "high performance" introductory quad. its wht steals sales from the 250ex, z250, etc.. without an introductory quad aimed towards youth riders yamaha will have trouble developing die-hard yamaha loyalist like many of us. i can see however the idea of a YFZ250 4-stroke in the making. taking up the introductory quad role right where the blaster left off.
