Author Message   Vinb Posted on Saturday, September 18, 2010 - 06:00 pm:        And she runs the balls. Even better on these cool days I'm getting. 2 more thousand and I'll check the valves and I think I should finally replace the front tire.   Mountainstorm Posted on Saturday, September 18, 2010 - 09:21 pm:        Why not. Treat yourself to a new skin. 17K for me but I've lost track of tire changes. I agree that the bike just keeps getting better. Nothing like a few minutes of top gear WOT to make her purr the rest of the night.   Vinb Posted on Saturday, September 18, 2010 - 10:04 pm:        Yep took her out and hammered down the highway a bit. It was heavily   Father_of_an_era Posted on Sunday, September 19, 2010 - 02:27 am:        9400 miles so far for me and yeah, still on the original front tire... It may be time to change that out buy I may be able to get another 2 or 3 thousands out of it. Besides, if I keep her up on her rear tire more often, I won't have to change the front. lol   Mountainstorm Posted on Sunday, September 19, 2010 - 10:42 am:        lol I keep forgetting how much I ride...not 17K...19,669 miles now. Best bike I've ever owned.   Froggy Posted on Sunday, September 19, 2010 - 10:56 am:        I noticed yesterday my 09 CR is about to break the 10k mark! Still got a while to catch up to the 45k on my XB 15k on my Blast. My poor 08 1125R has only 4500 miles.   Father_of_an_era Posted on Sunday, September 19, 2010 - 12:48 pm:        What? More miles on the Blast than on the R, nnnooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. lol   Johnnylunchbox Posted on Sunday, September 19, 2010 - 07:12 pm:        Only 300 miles on mine and I'm just learning the beauty of throttle steer. Congrats on the 10K and wish you many more.   Froggy Posted on Monday, September 20, 2010 - 06:49 pm:        quote: What? More miles on the Blast than on the R, nnnooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. lol It's OK, I took a short ride on my R last night to get dinner about 270 miles away, and now it is over 5000 miles I would ride it more, but the Blast handles better, gets 75mpg, and is cheaper to change tires on.   No_rice Posted on Monday, September 20, 2010 - 07:26 pm:        but the Blast handles better, you definitely have something wrong with your r then. no other answer.   Crabby Posted on Monday, September 20, 2010 - 07:38 pm:        Not neccecarily. the blast is lighter, making it a fun bike. I love my EX250 just as much as my CR, except my CR has less problems   Froggy Posted on Monday, September 20, 2010 - 07:39 pm:        The Blast is much lighter, and carries less inertia into turns. Being a smaller and tighter bike, it can handle better in the twisties than a big and heavy super sport. I already have no problem running with the 1125's in the twisties on my Blast, and once I figure out a Turbo, EFI and a real suspension, I will have the perfect sleeper, complete with purple bodywork http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/290 431/594684.html?1285013636   Vinb Posted on Tuesday, September 21, 2010 - 11:52 am:        Nice froggy but you still look silly on that blast.
