    Well i put an add in the local paper for a blaster or something faster and a girl calls me saying shes got a 750 street bike motor in a blaster frame ..She claims it is MINT and she wants 500$ for it....What do you guys think..should i buy this and risk it being a half ass hicks dream or should i save the extra 500$ and buy the real thing?

    Hell, it might be woth that just for the sheer parts factor, assuming the motor and suspension is good. I would check for booger welds on the frame....that's a lot of arse to put in a blaster frame and it hold up. I'd at least check it out........take your digital camera!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    For that price, I would look to make sure the engine isn't actually a cardboard cut-out.

    i think yamaha needs to redo the blaster with a 300cc fourstroke engine simular to the yfz450. All the manufacturers need to figure out what they're doing for a midsized quad.

    I think the best blaster idea I have heard of is one with the YZF250 engine.

    500 for it. you might just be buying someone elses headaches. but if you do get it and dont like it you could probably triple the amount you bought it for by parting it out peice by peice.

    im going to be building a blaster with an 05 yz 250 engine...im going to be extending the swinger 6 inches and extending the A arms a wee bit to compensate.... i think it will be pretty fun... im going to make it look like it came that way from the factory...... also going to get a moose lighting coil for it so i will be able to have head lights and ride it at night... also throwing on a hudro brake kit... and upgradeing the headlight to the new set up that the neweer blasters have...... i think it will perform pretty dam well with an 95 YZ 250 engine... also she is getting a full pipe and port job along with an after market set of reeds and reed cage... ill keep yah posted.. when i start the project this winter... im still getting the pieces i need to start... the project...

    Wow Brian its been forever since you've posted here.

    I think a TRI-Z or 84/85 Tecate motor in a Blaster chassis would be pretty slick. Pass on that 750 Blaster if it needs any work at all. I'd have to hear it run and drive it before I buy it.
