Hey, so I have a 2006 Yamaha Blaster, and I can’t decide if I should mod it, or sell it for a yfz450. Currently my blaster has vforce 4 reeds, and a full Fmf exhaust system, I’m torn between it because I’m not sure if it’ll be worth dumping money into it, to mod it. Any opinions?
Should I mod my 2006 Blaster?

Depends on what you are looking for. The 450 is a better bike all the way around in my opinion, but riding style will play a huge factor. The money it would take to get the blaster on the same playing field as a stock 450, would more than likely cost more than a 450 dependent on fab skills. The cool factor of having a super custom blaster though, priceless.
I find myself in total agreement with acdiez once again.
I would add that in order to put a Blaster on par with a 450 in power, you are looking at a 250 2-stroke bike engine swap....and that's not even addressing chassis/suspension upgrades/customization to make it ride and handle like a 450. Modded Blasters are cool as hell, but if your budget is limited, the best solution is probably going to be to sell the Blaster and get your 450.

Thank you, I am now trying to sell the blaster for a 450.
Yeah, they have gone up a lot in price over the last several years, just like the three wheelers.
There’s actually a decent condition 250r in my area for 4500$
Trike? Quad?? If trike, liquid cooled or air? If it's a liquid cooled trike or a quad that's worth looking into if it's not a pile of
I agree unless you have the fab skills to do a lot of work yourself and make your own parts. I’m currently doing a 250 swapped blaster and long traveling it and I’m doing it in a budget (the budget that I sold my 450 for plus about 800$) and it’s definitely doable if your able to make your own extended swing arm and steering stem and everything like I am.
Just depends on what you want. Me personally, my 450 had a 500 big bore and a cam and it ran like a raped ape but everytime I got on my dads 250r I got a smile on my face even though it is slower than my 450.
So I decided to build the quad Yamaha never made but should’ve, a trx250 competitor.
