this is for 4cfed

hahaha and the lt500 is still behind a honda 250r.... notice you never see a yamaha in the old stuff... prob cos the banshee's sucked for mx?
Pretty much lol
And blasters were underpowered, 250r guys would de-stroke to run in the 200 class and the blasters would still get beat! Yamaha made a big mistake by not coming out with a high reving 250 like the others did.... I mean they had the tri-z, all they would have had to do was make a good atv frame and use the engine and rear out of the z.
 
These were the days where everyone could afford to come out and race.
The days where true skill made you stand out above the rest.
There were things called privateers lol

ya thats for sure. they should have put a yz250 motor in the blaster to begin with. then we wouldnt be talking about the raptor 250 in that one thread instead we would be talking about the yfz replacing the blaster makes sense doesnt it lol

Oh well right???
At least they brought us a cheap light reliable quad that was good for newbs to experts with a great power to weight ratio, if not one of the best power to weight ratio quads ever made.
 
yeah.. astro made quad conversions for alot of the old trikes.. like the 250r tecate and tri z... some still floating around, im sure if one looked hard enough they could find one in a racing pic...

just got to look for lt 250r front plastics with a trike gas tank, front plastics look llow and out of place..

yup the blaster should have got a 250... they should have stuck the tri z motors in them and called it a day... than the only thing lacking would be suspension and brakes... but with that much power iom sure they would have done hydro brakes and better shocks
 
yeah i think there god awfull ugly!!! .. im willing to bet if i got my hands on one i could make it look sooo much nicer than they do.. sinple ad making brackets to move the plastics up more, or put like banshee plastics on the front
