    I am rider coming back to riding after a long time (8 yrs). I used to ride 100cc back in India. riding for about 5 yrs there.
    I am thinking of getting the buell blast. Is it a good bike for intermediate or advanced beginners ?

    Also, In my area, on craigslist,

    1. 2008 blast with 3k miles for $2500
    2. 2009 blast with 500miles for $2700

    Are these good deals ? How much should I offer for these ?

    I own a blast and love it, it's a great beginner bike. Mine is a 2000 and when I bought it for 2k it had a little over 4k miles on it. I overpaid for my bike, but it was the only one available to me so I grabbed it anyways.
    Those prices don't look too outrageous, and you still might be able to talk them down a few hundred dollars. It really comes down to the quality of the bike, how we'll it was taken care of.
    Good luck.

    They both look clean. See if you can test ride them, at least go look at them in person. Also, see how low they are willing to go on price.

    go for the '09. It looks a lot nicer (could just be the quality of the pics) and has many many less miles. As long as you buy newer than 03 i believe, you should be fine though. I had an '01 and i had to do a rocker box gasket at 6k miles which if you are even the slightest bit handy, you'll have no problem.

    They both look nice but arn't all the Blast the same throughout the later years? Just for reference I picked this 2004 up a couple years ago for my wife for $1300. Bought it as seen already modded with ~8000 miles.
