The sled isn't worth much more then 1500 and the guy never showed up to the meeting spot so he never got it

the buell blast is a great vibrator, but thats about it. I've ridden two, one started easy, but wasnt beat to shit. still shifted like a clunky BRICK, and wasnt a fun bike, the other wouldnt start and stalled a lot.

I'd look for a ninja ANYTHING over the buell. JUST because the ninja shifts better. even going into first is better on ninjas.

Funny you should mention that... I liked the clunkiness of the gearbox on my Buell.

I've grown to like it too. But non-owners don't understand.

Technically speaking.... the Ninja 500 is dead too.

I couldnt stand to handle that. its downright irritating to me. if someone GAVE me a buell other than an 1125, it'd be parked with a FOR SALE sign on it just because of that gearbox. thats how much I hate it.
