A rather odd way to advertise your motorcycle.

 

They're going to have to do something about the Riders Edge training bikes. Anyone else think a scrawny 500cc thumper cruiser is coming in the near future?

 

How bizarre. So even if you wanted to buy a 2010 Buell Blast, you couldn't. Just a cube of a scrapped bike. Gee.....I wonder how many of those they will sell. So in essense what the company is saying is...."yeah, our Blast was really a POS bike, so we decided to do what most owners who bought them would want to do.....scrap it." Sure doesn't leave you with a warm and warm and fuzzy feeling, now does it?

 

Well at least he finally admitted it.

Wife had one to learn on and as most I think glad to move on .

We were both glad to see it go and felt lucky to get the trade up program they had in 01.

Fantastic handling and brakes though , with some refinement and serious power improvements it could of had a following.

I doubt that a replacement is in the works with the current economic condition.

 

Dumb, then dumber!

 

Yeah, I do.

Given how HD is trying, albeit slowly, to market to the Millennial generation now, I think that they must have something in the works. They'd sure be smart to. Motor scooters haven't quite taken off like predicted because most aren't highway capable, and there's a lot of highway in America. But a little motorcycle that could cruise at highway speeds.....

A fuel-sipping low-displacement commuter/townie with HD style, supported by HD accessories and aftermarket, would sell BIG.

 

You actually read what that was about...or just shootin from the hip?

 

Haha... Sort of halarious... Sort of rediculous. If I actually owned one, that web page and video would make me feel betrayed (and like a loser). "The company that made my bike says it's better used as a table." Were they really that bad? I mean all of the sport bike companies have a small starter or something like that. Now they're starter is the Lightning.

And I don't see a smaller bike in the Harley line-up, but Buell could do it, although that is sort of what they had in the Blast... So why would they?

 

I thought that after Kawasaki had a hit with their re-designed 250 Ninja that we'd be seeing more smaller bikes from Buell, not less. It seems that there'd always be a market for a 500cc from Buell with new riders every spring. But I've been wrong before.

Edit:They were pretty generic looking bikes tho'.
