|
| Problems/Miles (Please be specific): |
So far the only thing I've noticed about my bike is that it vibrates worse than my wifes 2001 Blast. Other than that it seems pretty solid and has 5800 original miles!
|
| Other Mods/Misc/Customization.: |
|
| Favorite Rides (Roads and Routes): |
Big Cottonwood canyon is right above my house. This has some very technical corners and is butter smooth. It's a two lane rode for about 15 miles and climbs from 4700 to over 8000 feet!
|
| Why I do/don't ride a Buell: |
Never owned an American motorcycle before this year, but I have had more than 20 bikes however. Bought an '05 XB12R earlier this year and loved it, the only problem was my lower back and wrists didn't. Bought my wife a Blast and swore never to get on it, but I took one ride and was sold. I don't know why for sure, but that little bugger grew on me!
|
| How can Buell improve their motorcycles?: |
I'd like to see a higher performance Blast model. Honestly I think they really have something special with this bike, but it should make more power from the factory, or there should be a version that does. Just my two cents worth.
