I heard they made some pretty radical changes to the 2010 model. (http://c0378172.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/2010-buell-blast-crushed.jpg) Title: Re: New toy from silentbob Post by: smoochie girl on May 02, 2010, 10:31:12 AM It's a 2001, first sold in 2008

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.)

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] Title: Re: New toy from silentbob Post by: KnightofNi on May 03, 2010, 03:30:45 AM 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. Title: Re: New toy from silentbob Post by: zooom on May 03, 2010, 05:34:07 AM 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.
