Does anyone know anything about this brand? Where's it made? How long has it been around? What's their best model? Tell us about them...post a photo of yours.

Buell's look cool to me...well, some of them do, anyway.

I'd get a Buell over an HD any day, tho. I never was much for trying to "fit in".

Never rode one, but I hope to soon.

Thanks!

Well, actually gonna do some bike shopping tomorrow. Think I'll even stop by the Buell dealer and take a couple of bikes out for a spin!

Thanks!

I actually rode the Blast yesterday at the local HD dealer.

The bike moved and performed well, but at 5'11", it was kind of SMALL for me...and that was with the higher seat on it! I think it would make a great commuter for a shorter person, tho.

Kind of clunked into 1st and 2nd, but got up to 60 mph quickly enough. Shakes like crazy up to about 3k revs, then smooths out.

It's not much bigger than my wifes scooter, and the tires look like scooter tires. They are 16's, but have a very small profile.

I wouldn't mind having that engine in my sport bike 250 frame, but I couldn't recommend the bike to anyone who is even remotely tall. Now, if it were about 3 or 4 inches taller and longer, then I wouldn't mind owning one myself.

Thanks!
