I'm going to swap the handlebars for a lower set. Nothing crazy , just a little lower . it will make it look a little sportier at the front.

The Blast is a cool bike. I have seen motorcycle customisers do some cool things with them, and the big single is simple to maintain. Take very good care of your gear box. The gear box can give trouble if abused. There are some good forums out there to help you that Blast.

I believe Buell is now owned by Harley Davidson, Discontinued/ revamped then dropped for some odd reason..... ( I could be VERY wrong)
That is one sweet ride my friend!!!!!!!
Replacement parts maybe an issue or, at least Harley priced so, take care of her!!!!! The $700 price point is most excellent--- Great Deal for a VERY Sexy ride!!!!!!!!!
GOOD LUCK and Ride SAFE!!!!!!!!!

GOOD LUCK and Ride SAFE!!!!!!!!! Harley does own buell , but the Buell Blast was discontinued in 2010. So 2009 was the last year. Thanks, she is a little rough running right now . it sat for awhile and had bad gas in it. It also needs a new intake boot" from the carb to the manifold. THey are known for going bad on these bikes. |

The Blast puts out about the same hp as the Kymco Downtown 300 but not as much as a BV350 but it handles nice and is a lot of fun to ride.

Uhh...a Blast has VERY little power! For a 500cc , yes it is not as strong at top end as it should be. It has great low end torque. Its enough power to run a little over 90mph . they are a low rpm bike. It redlines around. 6000 or so rpms. So its mainly a cruiser. |

How do you get Anything (not Chinese) for $700 Good Haul! The guy I got it off of owns a pretty successful car lot in Greene county pa. The bike was in his garage at his house . I was doing some work on the garage and asked him about it. He got it on a trade in and he said it was selling it for cheap. The buell blast is not a very expensive bike " about $5000 new. With a few small scrapes and it setting for a few years , he was not sure what it needed to get it running. If it was in perfect running condition it would maybe bring $1700 , and don't forget about the few scrapes and broken left rear turn signal . so he figured he would just get rid of it for the trade in price. |
