Welll were to start. Let me start by stating I love this bike. I\'m 17 and purchased this bike by myself and do not regret any of it. It is very easy to learn to ride on. I\'m currently taking a MSF course on it(I reccomend quite highly) and plan on taking their advanced course. The blast itself is the lowest end bike Buell currently makes. Its 492ccs. Not much on power or top end with a top speed of 94 mph and about 40 hp. There are quite a few aftermarket items for it(some bolt on and some serious mods) but still not quite like a Firebolt or Lightning.
I learned how to ride on this bike and plan on keeping it for 2 seasons. Very easy to upgrade and very cheap.
Also this bike gives quite a bit of leeway on screwups, which a beginner bike should.
Anymore questions you can e-mail me @ mx400@comcast.net or pm me.
