(Insert usual mockery of Pete's bike status here)
But seriously, those are some sweet looking bikes. Almost makes me want a motorcycle.

A Buell Blast. Since you are one of the 23 people who bought one, can you give us your impressions?

I want an SV pretty bad. I have an 06 Ninja 650R, but I think it's due for a valve adjustment so it's a little sluggish. If the adjustment doesn't bring it to a level of speed I'm happy with I will prob go for the 1000.
Would be fun to punch the SV650 out to 700ccs though. But it would be more fun to punch out an SV1000 to 1088cc.....

the 1000s feel...oidd. not as peppy as the sv weirdly.
and the 650's crank tends to go at 85 HP...

i heard hes planning to.
didnt help that he apparently crashed his sisters CBR250.
I'm actually kinda hoping i will have the money to buy it back cheap from him and build up a mutant blast with a redneck engineering frame.

haha, you could totally resurrect it and do something fun with it. Convert it to electric power somehow?

and use the motor to make this:

Yea a ~350lb SV700 sounds pretty appealing. And they will go to 85, but they won't stay there.....

yea, I guess.
some guy did build a turbo SV650...was going for more mid end grunt so the heavy staor would be less of a problem...apparently got 100~ hp out of it reliabliy....
