AngryBMW Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Im thinking about getting a bike, and found a 2002 Buell Blast for 1000 dollars. This will be my first bike, and I really know next to nothing about bikes in general; and less about Buell's. Whats everyone's opinion of the bike, the brand, and the price? Thanks in advance smile.gif -Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supldys Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Ya I've got a firebolt, I love riding it but its been in the shop twice with only 1200 miles on it. Just whatever you do dont take the bike to A.D Farrows if something breaks. The blast is a lot different then my bike, I've heard lots of good and bad things about it, just to warn ya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaSSon Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 I think a blast would be a perfect starter bike. The bikes themselves are tiny and I don't think they real fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grease monkey Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 it's a 500cc thumper engine, meaning that it's a single 500cc piston. It would probally be a good start for ya Marc, Talk to me in person.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nurkvinny Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Marc, it would be a good first bike. What's wrong with it to make it one grand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got-Boost? Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Hate to say it but run....run away! It's a Harley sport bike. Shakes like hell. Short wheel base, doesn't ride or handle that good. Forget long rides. The main thing is PROBLEMS! Everyone I know that has one or had one, it spent more time in the shop than on the road. Don't get me wrong, they aren't all like that but everyone I have come in contact with HAS been like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
