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.

There is a Raptor 80 for the younguns to copy dad with his Raptor, now there should be a YFZ250 so your now "not so young youngun" can start his racing fun [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] and possible want a YFZ450 later!

Now, I've ridden a TT-R 250 and that thing is a blast. If they tweaked that engine just a bit for use in a quad, they might have something.
But, yeah, a YFZ 250 would be awesome.
