2008 Buell® Blast®
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
The Buell® Blast is a machine that represents everything there is to love about sport riding. It’s lightweight, perfectly balanced and thanks to Buell Intuitive Design and Engineering™ it’s also a very capable corner-carver.
Like its larger stablemates, the Blast features a belt drive that never requires adjustment or maintenance. And with two seat height options and an easy to reach, low effort clutch, the only question left should be which color you’ll want to take home.
Powered by a 492-cubic-centimeter air-cooled, single-cylinder engine, there’s plenty of low- to mid-range torque for everyday ridability.
