Buell Blast ?

Does anyone know if the 500CC single Buell Blast was ever imported/sold
here ?
Ysidro

 

morgan & wankers brissy had one in their shop for sale maybe 4 -5 years ago.

 

Having read a write up on it, I sincerely hope not.

Is it still there?

lol !

& here i was wondering just what sort of comeback i could get ....actually i
sat on it at the time...its a very very low bike to start with & im 6'3,
what an odd little thing.

 

Why so Sir Cameron ?

Was basically intended for female learners in the US, so not you're not
the target market.

I could be wrong but I think the M&W bike was bought out by NFI to
assess suitability for sale in Oz, I think they concluded it had rather
limited sales potential...

(why you would pay the price of 2 GPXs for a bike that had worse
capabilities on pretty much any criteria you wanted to pick had me
baffled when they released it)

 

sounds like Harleys double the price of other cruisers

 

It was twice the price of a Honda CB250, and offered, appart from the
cachet of riding a Harley-Davidson, no advantages over the CB250.

And some disadvantages over the CB -> greater weight and poorer brakes

JL
(and it was a Buell, not a Hogly, so it didn't even have that going for it)

 

But it was a 500! Obviously it was going to be twice as good as a 250!

I have to agree with you there Clem.
Your K75C has 50% more street cred than a Buell Blast.

Postman Pat

 

or 15% of the street cred, it''s only a 75 after all.
