I hear this year (05) is the last year of production for the old blaster, is this true?

 

I believe so..

 

Everyone says yes, but in actual reality nobody has a sweet clue, it's all just speculation. There is no way to know until June when Yamaha releases their 06' models. As much as people think they are right and their sources are good, Yamaha won't release any information before june. I remember a bunch of people saying that they knew for sure the YFZ 450 was going to be in fact a true 450, but we all know what happened to that..
