Its been a thought in my head for some time. Iv always been a huge fan of Cafe Racers, from the old BSA's and Nortons to the 76-79 Hondas. So I got to looking tonight and found im not the only person who has thought of Blast for a Cafe racer.
Think of it, there are so many mods that can almost double the power of Blast for pretty cheap. Easy to work on little one cylinders. And a pretty cheap starting bike. Plus the power I think would be much better on a modern bike than an older school CR. All qualities for a starter project.
Anyhow, just a thought of mine, thought id share it with the Buell community and see what u guys think. Heres a few pics i found surfing around tonight. Although I think I prefer the classic CR front end, naked with clip-ons.
