I know most of you already know these bikes well, but I've included as much info as possible just in case non-members read this. Thanks Specs & Stats: The bike is an '04 Buell Blast, a 492cc single-cylinder engine rated at 34HP and 30+ ft-lbs of torque (in stock condition). It has a 5-speed transmission, an automatic choke, self-adjusting hydraulic valve lifters, a 2.8 gallon tank and a 360 lb. dry weight. It's rated over 70 mpg on the highway. It's in great condition, is dependable all year long, is very low-maintenance, runs very smoothly, was always kept covered and has less than 1,800 miles on it. Update: I have just installed a new AGM-type battery (receipt available). I opted for the low 25" seat. The body panels are made of a hard resin produced by DuPont called Surlyn, which is very durable (they make golf ball casings out of it). If the surface gets scratched, it can be buffed out with a high-grit sandpaper, because the black color dye is molded into the resin. Buell has ceased producing motorcycles, making this a possible collector's item. Harley-Davidson has committed to providing parts and service for Buell motorcycles for another 7 years. History: I picked it up NEW from the dealership in Aug '05. I rode semi-frequently all year long and maintained it well. The oil and filter have been changed multiple times, most recently last summer (before storing the bike in a garage). The bike has never, EVER been dropped, tipped over, laid down or in any type of accident. Modifications: I've modified it with the Buell Pro Series air intake and a Vance & Hines exhaust. I re-jetted the carb and I added higher-profile pulsing LED taillight for safety. The Buell logo decals have been removed, so the bike is simply a matte black. I've rust-protected the exhaust downpipe in a matching flat black enamel as well. Asking Price/Book Value: Sticker price for a 2004 model was $4,600. The 2009 model, which is mechanically identical to my 2004 model (they were never changed), was $4,700. Kelley Blue Book's current "Retail" value is $2,125 for a stock 2004 bike in 'Fair' condition with MUCH higher mileage- approximately 9,000 miles. I am selling a bike in great condition, with modifications, MUCH lower mileage and accessories (all-weather heavy duty cover, lock, etc.) included. My asking price is $2,500 FIRM. Please respect that "FIRM" does NOT mean "Negotiable" just because you have cash. Serious offers only, please. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Thanks for reading |

Froggy, I sold it last Spring for $2500. I apologize to you and the other members for not updating/deleting this thread. I had multiple ads and posts online and thought I had taken all of them down. Good luck! -Pete P.S. I want another Buell! |

I figured as much, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask. I'll re-title your threads to put (Sold) in the topic. |
