Looks good! What year?
I heard they made some pretty radical changes to the 2010 model.

Jealous, I bet it corners like a son of a pregnant dog.
Not much "go" in the engine, but it sure stops nice. ;)
Actually, everyone I know who's ridden a Blast has loved it. Great starter bike. Significantly more grunt than a Ninjette so it takes longer to "outgrow," handles well, and fun as hell to ride. One of my Military Sportbike Rider's Course instructors rode one for demos. She'd put a knee down on the circles.
Oh, and with a D&D exhaust, OBNOXIOUSLY loud. (Says the guy with BoomTubes.)
Hooray for you! [clap]
I want one...yes to replace the ducati as a commuter!!!

Congrats on the new wheels. [thumbsup]

....and as an aside;
was reading article on the demise of Buell in the last cycle world
and apparently the Blast is the most reliable motorcycle Harley has ever built..... [thumbsup]
i thoguth my monster was small. the blast is even smaller.
but it was fun to put around on.
i even carried another 200+lb guy on the back just for shiggles.
there's a video somewhere.
I was cruising up the Jersey Turnpike one day and I had the cruise control in the car set at 80 and this one Blast had a turbo on it and sailed past me effortlessly....I was rather surprised....so there are some good things to be done with that little scoot long term.
Good way to start.
Dolph :)
