Buell Blast 2005

by Maggie Mae McKenzie
(West Central Florida)

I agree that riders come in all shapes and sizes and bikes do too. My first bike, a Honda Magna was not a good fit for me. My 2nd - a Yamaha V-Star was great. I put many miles on that bike.

The Buell Blast? Awesome. Light, short and corners like a sport bike is meant to!

A Sport-Touring bike? A bike can be what you make of it. No this is not was most people would think of when the term Sport-Touring is brought up but I love riding this bike so much that I have taken it on two cross country trips; Florida to Michigan last summer, to Maine this past June. I can easily put 500+ mile days on in the saddle and get up the next morning to start over again.

Bottom line, if you love YOUR bike, it is the Best Bike!

Well, it has been a few years since I purchased that '5 Blast. I put 55,000 miles on it and then purchased a 2009 Blast which today has 39,000 miles on it for a total of 94,000 miles in about 6 years. The '09 is still going strong and I hope to make that 100,000 miles mark then push beyond. Are there bigger bikes out there, yep. Do I need one, nope. As long as I can take off for 2-3 weeks without loading it on a trailer, then I'm a happy rider.

I'm a Bueller too!
by: Lisa

I have a 2010 Buell Blast....probably one of the last few that were made. I learned to ride two years ago and I bought it this past January after I dropped my 2006 Suzuki Boulevard M50 for the third time....figured I better take a step back and work on my riding skills. Love my Buell....it is a "blast" to ride around town, very light and handles nicely. I added a custom comfort seat from Sargent Cycle products and a windshield.

What a Rider

She puts more miles on her 500cc Blast than most riders with Bigger engines.

Maggie has a great philosophy about riding. I hope she continues to have many happy, healthy miles ahead of her (and I am sure her bike will tour as far as she wants it too).
