Yamaha YFS 200 Blaster

I purchased this last summer, it was on craigslist located in Boise, ID for three months not a soul purchased it and it looked brand new, I just figured something was wrong with it as it was selling for $1800.00 . My daughter moved from Texas to Meridian,Id  figured I would call him up to ask some questions on the Blaster, the man said he is the second owner and they do not ride it..... so I go through the hit list with the usual questions and he says it is solid and they don't ride it, then he says that it is like new. okay I am snagged on the line now and ask the wife if she wants to go visit Kristine our daughter her husband and two grand kids....well you can only guess the answer from my wife. So the weekend comes and I am up early and loading up the truck with the usual's spare, jack tools...you know its a road trip. I also had to pull our trailer because if I bought the Blaster I would not be able to get it in the back of the pick up without a proper ramp. Well the wife says why are we taking the truck and the trailer    So she says what is it and how much does it cost... she chilled out after about an hour into the trip and refocused on visiting family members. We arrive at the purchase location and the guy says take it for a ride and you dont have to ask me twice and I am test riding it and the whole time just thinking can this be for real, because the machine is flawless with of course the hint of some carb tuning. the man said he rode it once just like the previous owner and at the moment I realised that the machine scared the shit out of them, I looked at the rear grab bar and sure enough it had been bent  with no other rash markings anywhere else... I offered him $1700. and he took it. Even the wife was saying we scored because after all the years since teens she knows what two stroke engine noise should sound like.

Very nice!!!
I sold mine to Frank B because I knew I was going to hurt myself on it if I kept it.

Great find. Hope you enjoy it.

To what Tim said...Back in the day my wife and I had 2 Suzuki 250 2 stroke quads. We frequented Pismo Beach. I hurt myself on mine pretty bad...twice. Sure was fun when not trying to kill myself.

The Blaster definitely holds fast to its name, my son will not get on it after seeing me ride it.

Thank's Russ, it is great in the Idaho back country.

Lewiston is not impressive I know, but is a great sort of wagon wheel hub for a jump off point for incredible out door adventure.

PM me and let me know what you thought.

That looks to be exceptionally   nice! You'd be hard pressed to find another in like or better condition. I sometimes miss my Banshee but it was a police magnet for test n tune.      Enjoy but be safe too.

Purchased the motion pro throttle set up for it and maybe going toomey chamber, and installed a new clutch kit. Summer is coming and no more numb thumb.
