I have the opportunity to purchase 4 blast which run and have less than 4000 miles on them - they range from 2001 to 2007. These were used in a motorcycle class so there are no mirros, no signals and lots of scratches. Alll of them run good, start right up but .....none shift higher than 3rd. I have done some research and they may just need adjusting or it could be bent forks....I am not a master mechanic but have done enough to fix these bikes. I know very little about them and whether they are worth the headache. I can purchase the lot for 2250.00 and it includes a 5th parts bike which is missing the seat, battery, and clutch... My question is ... are they worth it to fix and sell or should I avoid it...I am new to this forum so thanks for any advise. | ||

I bought 3 and parted 2.. My friend bought out a shop and had 13 of them sitting.. Some of those course bikes are really tattered.. Weed out the best and part out the rest. Chris. Black Art Bikes | ||

If your skills are enough where you are confident to split the case open, and essentially have the bikes completely apart, then I would do it if you want to make a hobby of working on making a bike or two. You can buy a perfectly well running Blast for under $2000, as you may already know. Blast parts are not expensive and the bike is not complicated by any means. |
