Yamaha Blaster ATV – a model for the ages.

With 2006 marking the last year of production for the Yamaha blaster ATV lets take a closer look at what the blaster will be remembered for. 

A lot of blaster owners will best remember this Yamaha ATV for what it didn’t have as much as for what it did. No reverse, no automatic clutch and no electric start have it behind some of its competition when it comes to model features.

The blaster wasn’t known for its suspension or turning capabilities either, the rear bubble wheels scream of the old 3 wheeler days and some riders couldn’t adjust to the turning characteristics. So how does the Yamaha blaster ATV leave us with fond memories ?

Fun ! Despite its lack of stock performance the price meant being able to add aftermarket performance parts like an exhaust and new tires. The blaster shines in the dunes with its 195cc, 2-Stroke, Air Cooled motor. When the throttle was pinned the blaster could more than keep up with a much more sophisticated ATV. When ridden aggressively the blaster performs. The rear will slide through turns and the power-band is excellent in the top ranges.
