In the states the last year for both 2 strokes, the blaster and banshee, was 2006. The banshee is still available in other countries and it is very possible that the blaster was continued in production until 2008 across "the pond".
I thought they just stopped sales of them in the US, not production in 06. Aren't they manufactured in Japan or some other Asian country? Or was there an assembly plant here to say they were made in the USA?
