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.
