Growing up I rode dirt bikes a lot and then bought a dual purpose bike that I could ride to and from dirt trails. That was back in '93 I just bought a Blast about a month ago. It is a fun little bike great for shorties or new riders to build confidence. I think there is an on going market for this bike, especially with the HD riders MSF class. Although I know I'm eventually want more bike. I love that it is American and sporty-ish. But being very short for a guy I don't fit on many sport bikes. Last weekend I got a chance to sit on a XB12scg. I'm sure that a 5'2" rider with a good pair of boots on would be fine on that bike. BUT as far as power I do think the Blast is a way better bike to learn on less power to get you trouble with. | ||

True - and a combination would be a great little commuter back up bike for in city and errand running kind of thing, and for an occasional sets of twisties - a modern basic good fun type of bike. EZ | ||

Where are we on this project? I check back from time to time, but things are a little too quiet. How about a fresh pic to keep us going? Hope the project is going well!  | ||

how much? I have always loved the idea of a fireblast. im thinking the removed cylinder would be a great spot for a leaf blower. | ||

Many are inspired by the work you've done. If you do sell, the buyer will have gotten a big leg up on reaching that goal of a sweet little bike. | ||

If you lived closer to me I'd come work on it. Heres hoping you get some more done. | ||

well it comes to this. I dont have the drive to finish the bike. my wifes car died today, my truck is having problems and my workload is not getting lighter. So the main points 1- I dont need to sell 2- will sell all my parts 3- want the whole thing to go as one unit. 4- I do big nasty shipments of stuff every day at work so shipping will not be bad. 5- looking to get say 1600 plus about 150 for shipping in the US -this will include everything that I have. anything that is not attached to my cityx will be included. pictures later -email with questions. -WILL NOT , REPEAT NOT SPLIT UP FOR PARTS yet | ||

sorry guys just to much right now | ||
