Is the Buell Blast a good bike for a beginner?
It’s a blast (no pun intended) in the corners. While it doesn’t have a ton of power, it is more than adequate for a first time rider. I’ve had the bike up to 70 MPH and there’s plenty of throttle left for more, although I haven’t had a need to go any faster than that. I can easily cruise at 50 MPH in 4th gear without over revving the engine.
