Thumper bikes vibrate a lot on a cold start. You should let it warm up for a couple minutes before riding. This allows the oil in the crank case time to warm up. All Blasts blow oil, that's why they call them Blasts. Lol
Plenty of parts still for these bikes. St Paul Harley Davidson carries all leftover parts for all Buells and most continue to be manufactured. And whatever you do, don't judge Buells by the Blast. Every other Buell is exponentially better than these. Not bashing your buddies bike, just these bikes were meant to learn on and that is it.
omg my 2001 buell blast sounds exactly the same very rattling and the gears clunk and all yep its about the same as that 08 lots of vibration too mine was only rated at 34 hp
I had one I enjoyed it Like to have another one. Mine had transmission problems. You take off in first gear and about two feet it would give a big jerk. the vibration is normal. One of a kind. Seriously if I had the cash. I’d buy a few. I have a 2019 Honda cbr500r now. Love to have a A1 condition Blast
Yeh I took one xb 12 for a test…Could not getting used to the enormous enginebraking. And I must say never ridden a two cilinder Bike.So not for me. It was an xb 12 long.
Yeah, absolutely. I am about 5’8” and I completely flat foot this bike with my knees bent, so you should be fine. I think my CBR 300 had an even shorter seat. Just go to as many motorcycle shops as you can find and sit on all of their bikes.
If you're gonna ride a Buell you gotta find some twisties. The Blast especially is not great for those wide-open highways. Also, the original Blast design is from about 2000 or so. Comparing it to your newer CBR isn't quite an even comparison.
Definate confirm lmao my blast has 40 lb ft of torque and a whopping 30hp soo its "quick" to 40 mph but thats about it...quick if it was a 125 and not a 500 hahaha
I'm gonna say deny. I have a Buell XB12S and it's got more torque, power, handling, and overall character than any of my other bikes (Honda CBR600F4i, Kawasaki zx6r). I know that's apples to oranges considering the different engine configurations, but I'm saying the Buells have plenty of "go." I also have a Buell Blast, which isn't a power horse or will win any races (unless you're racing a van), but it is nimble and has given me zero trouble. I was so bummed when Buell was nixed. Those bikes don't get nearly enough credit.
Lol Buell Blast I'm sorry you had to ride this failed abortion of a motorized bicycle. Who knew if you cut a Sportster in half you'd get the bad half? Hahah even Eric cubed this piece of garbage. (Yes I ride one by choice)
Brother I know this is an old video but I’m enjoying it.

A v twin. Not a thumper
the old Harley rattle,to bad it wasn't the V twin version,but yes parts are hard to find,and dealers wont touch those bikes anymore,because of its age
Good to know. I was thinking of buying it. But to be fair I did like riding it. It was kinda fun.

The Buell Blast is like a Super Grom!
it kinda is..yeah.
This is the exact bike my boss is selling me, same color and everything. I'm very happy to see a video about it. Thank you for making the video.
Vigilante606 how do you like it?

I turned mine into a 1-cylinder tour bike with some massive bags.

Was it like a tractor
Is it good vibrations or more a thumper?
a bit of a thumper...

I motovlog on an xb12ss. Different beast
Yeh I took one xb 12 for a test…Could not getting used to the enormous enginebraking. And I must say never ridden a two cilinder Bike.So not for me. It was an xb 12 long.
Yes , their 5 speeds
My buell blast has an uncomfortable seat haha i can't go past 80 miles or my ass is killing me 🤣
Are these good for short riders? I’m about 5’3
Yeah, absolutely. I am about 5’8” and I completely flat foot this bike with my knees bent, so you should be fine. I think my CBR 300 had an even shorter seat. Just go to as many motorcycle shops as you can find and sit on all of their bikes.
It sounds like a grom 😄😊
Ya kinda. Lol. Thanks for watching.

It was a cool bike to ride, it was great of him to let me try it out. thanks for watching.
you don't drive a motorcycle you ride a motorcycle silly

Did it vibrate your teeth out
it was a fun bike to take for a ride, but it was a bit like a tractor,lol
I heard most buells are all show and no go... confirm or deny? Lol
It feels like the bike has a lot of torque but my CBR300 is defnetly faster. so ya, I confirm that.
Definate confirm lmao my blast has 40 lb ft of torque and a whopping 30hp soo its "quick" to 40 mph but thats about it...quick if it was a 125 and not a 500 hahaha
Also mines a 2000 and it leaks soo bad lol it only had 900 miles on it when i bought it and it leaked the first day i rode it
