Harley Davidson® Buell Blast®

The Buell Blast is a great bike for the beginning enthusiast or novice. It's been made by the Buell Motorcycle Company since the year 2000, which is a subsidiary of Harley Davidson. It was designed as an affordable bike that would serve as a stepping stone to the larger and more powerful motorcycles in the Harley Davidson lineup. That said, this is still a great bike with a good amount of power and agility.

It has a 4-stroke 500cc engine with 34 ponies and gets roughly 70MPG. With a low center of gravity and a total curb weight of 360 lbs, the Blast is nimble choice for all riders. Interestingly, the body is composed of a durable material called Surlyn (the same material made for golfballs!). So, you can worry less about doing any damage to the body, and focus more on the enjoying your journey.

Simple and Easy

This bike is an ideal option for adventurers who want a simple easy ride, ample power, and good gas mileage, all in one.
