HI, Im a First time street bike rider, and Im looking at a Buell Blast.  Seems like a great bike for an Old Women First time street biker.  2005 with only 1000 miles on it.  Female owner. My question is...I know that its not a BIG DADDY engine, and may take time catching up with the guys I may ride with that have the BIG BAD BIKES.  But those of you who own one, How is it on trips--like 2-3-4 hours trips.  Comfort, Speed, etc.  Thanks FLY GIRL

The Blast is the perfect first bike but if you're taking a lot of long rides you'll be wishing for more power. Nothing wrong with starting with the XB9, It's not too much for a newbie to handle.

LOL - If you work it right, you may end up waiting on them!  It really is a matter of riding style and experience.  Lotti - a friend - books like a demon on her Blast.  Is always near the front on a ride, and is one of the smoothest at taking corners, and the only mods on her bike is a V&H exhaust.  Many a HD rider is surprised by the Blast passing them, and comment on it.  Is it a fast drag racer - no - but on the road it is  more than capable of holding its own, is a great lil commuter, economical on gas - even modified, and just a lot of fun.  EZ
