Nice bike... the swingarm looks like it molds into the side of the engine.

Blastard! Bastardized Blast!

Cheers,
J

The thunderstar will only be cool after it becomes a real bike.

After following a few links on that page, I've decided this gem owns them both.

the buell looks like something _I_ would have done, thinking it would end up looking good. Unfortunately, it does not.

everything I've read says the blast really is, a blast as is. anything more than some twisties or commuting on surface streets = punishment for your butt and your pride.

that being said, the extended swingarms (unless it really is a full on committed drag bike) just looks dorky to me. :)

There is no such thing as a "nice" Buell Blast. Quality control really went haywire in Milwaukee on this one.

In regards to this post though, it's like buying a Hondo or Telestar guitar and putting Grover or Schaller tuning keys on it, Dimarzio pickups on it, with a Bigsby tailpiece. Now you have a raggedy ass guitar with "some" nice expensive add-ons. It's still a "rag".
