Buell is no longer going to manufacture the Blast. I liked the Blast, the only time I rode one was during my Riders Edge course, so I never went over 20 MPH, but it was a fun bike. Erik Buell said that the reason they are discontinuing the Blast is because it isn’t wasn’t a sportbike, but that’s why I liked the Blast. It didn’t have any pretensions, it wasn’t trying to be a sport bike, a cruiser, or a street fighter. It wasn’t dripping with chrome and it didn’t crank out 100 HP. It was just a bike. Maybe some manufacturer will step in and give us a true standard, until then rest in peace.
