Buell Blast 500 cc

Description

Very good condition always in dry storage. All original. Comes with both the high and low factory seats. Tires have lots of wear left.New battery. Maintained by a Harley Dealer.

"In its mission as a machine for the novice rider the Blast succeeds admirably. It's mechanically simple devoid of bells and whistles (and tachometer) and is extremely easy to ride. The pushrod engine with hydraulic lifters eliminates periodic valve adjustments. The choke is automatic. The Kevlar-toothed drivebelt is adjustment-free and considering the engine's modest power output should last for many years. The bodywork is made from Surlyn the same stuff used on the outside of golf balls. So if you whack your Blast with a 7-iron or tip it over it will come up smiling. Many novice riders are terrified of marring their brand-new bike so this should give them peace of mind and help them concentrate more on developing their riding skills." Popular Mechanics - 2001
