If the Blast doesn't "fit with the Brand" Then I guess I don't either, being that that was my very first bike. |

The XB9SX is listed as 1203cc and 103HP. Such a deal! I was insulted by Eric's 2 minute video explaining how the Blast doesn't fit into the Buell gestalt. Cubism. What will replace it, for real? Anything? Anybody? |

Looks like Ft_bstrd was right- standard handlebars now standard on the 1125CR. |

This is the funniest shit ever. The axe a model, piss off everyone that ever bought one, and a lot of buell fans who didn't own one but respected the bike as a great tool for what it was designed to do, and then come up with a new 'marketing campaign' instead of a new bike. Friggen genius. |

Well the build up was fun and semi-inspiring, but in the end i guess a remain an '06 cityX rider in search of an S2, still nothing new. guess i'll wait till next year! The "Book of Buell" says, "You won't make any friends with a Buell". Thats too bad, I'll have to let all of the really great friends i've made through riding my Buell know that they are not real!

I saw the "No new Friends" comment too... Stright out of Harly's sheeple marketing tactics. Riders Edge is probably being axed too. |

No link to Riders Edge on the new site. It was there on the old site an hour ago.... I'd say its over too... |

You guys, we HAVE a 2010 Blast in our shop right now. Got the MSO yesterday. THAT'S what I truly do not understand. I mean, they made at least 2, I've seen them personally. So I'm not sure how new customers are doing to know that the Blast still does exist. At least, it does for now. Unless it was all a dream. Perhaps the blast is evaporating right now. I guess I'd better check. ->ChelleM |

Like I said in the other thread I never have seen the appeal of the blast. When I discovered the brand it was one of the first bikes I looked at because of the price but I quickly moved on. They could have made it alot cooler but focused on the other models. I would have done the same I think. The video was pretty funny more so because I could just picture the look on some of your faces. |

sorry for sitting on my CityX during my 80 mile commute, I guess I bought the wrong bike. I've always thought it was an excellent bike able to excel in both the day to day and in the twisty's but I'm apparently wrong, especially since I'm an engineer... |

Gotta sell all the leftovers. those '2010' blasts were probably built in 2008. |

OK, who is making the 2010 Blast then??? Mr. Buell has always said the Blast was a bike HD asked (told?) him to build. |

So what is HD going to use for Rider's Edge? The world has been turned upside down ...damn that Obama !!! |

I bet HD takes over making the Blast. There's nothing on the HD site showing a 2010 Blast. |

Seacoast HD (not a Buell dealer) told me months ago that they were going to start selling Blasts for their RE program, but no other Buells... |

To all the Blast owners: I'm sorry but we have to cut you loose. It was nice while it lasted but we can't have you slow-ass beginner bike mo-fo's slowing down this ruthless ride to sport bike nirvana. Take care and go ride a Honda Rebel or something. P.S. You Harley inspired lump of a motor XB riders are next |

Airflow Management System New right-side air scoop, fan shroud, header shield and ECM calibration all work together to improve rider comfort. I ordered me one.... |

Anyone here like fishing? I seriously doubt that the lack of 'new' bikes and the 'cubed' Blast are the end of the story. I think this is all to ruffle feathers until the 'real' unveiling. Since they are already using po-mo marketing tactics, it's exactly what i'm expecting will happen. I am Erik's fish on the line. (Sorry for mixing metaphors) |
