I'm 6 feet 190 pounds, I'm thinking of buying a 2003 Buell Blast for communting to work.?

Question

It has 3800 miles on it and they're asking 2500. I am an experienced rider and have heard it gets good gas mileage. I don't travel on the freeway, just two lane roads at a maximum of 65 mph. Was just wondering if this was a good fit for me. I travel about 85 miles both ways a day to work.

Answer 1

I'm 5'5" and rode the Blast when taking the MSF course.  I was cramped!!  You most certainly will be!!!  

You can probably find a larger sized bike that gets decent mileage around the same price..

Answer 2

thats an offley small bike for such a tall dude, honestly i think u will look funny riding it, 1997 honda cbr 600 gets 60mpg, i think you need a more normal size bike.

Answer 3

That's a small (450 or 500cc) bike. Get something bigger.

Answer 4

I don't think you will have a blast on the Blast! They do get decent mileage, but being a single cylinder it will have some vibration that will get old after 40miles...

The price is good, but I would look for a smaller twin to commute on... but then I ride a 650cc single supermoto to commute on so the vibes are horrible.
