'03 Buell Blast 500 only 6,000 miles! >60 mpg! (Mariemont) $2300

[Craigslist]

Up for sale is my beloved first bike.

Great gas mileage! I commuted back and forth from UC and never got less than 60 mpg!

It is a sunset orange 2003 Buell Blast 500 with 6,526 miles a Vance & Hines aftermarket exhaust.

The lighting isn't very good for the pictures i have taken, so the first picture i have attached is a stock picture.

This is a perfect beginner bike as it is very light and is very easy to handle.

Great gas mileage! I commuted back and forth from UC and never got less than 60 mpg!

The KBB is for this bike is $2175 (here's the link: http://www.kbb.com/motorcycle/retail/2003/buell/blast/65846)

I am asking $2300 because this bike is very low mileage and in great condition. However, i AM accepting offers from serious customers.

Below i have copied and pasted the specs on this motorcycle.

If you are interested, my name is Keith and I can be reached at (937)-305-6742.

THANK YOU FOR LOOKING AT MY POST AND HAVE A GREAT DAY!
