Buell Blast vs Ninja 250: Difference between revisions

Line 135:

I would be bouncing off the rev limiter coming out of my driveway, which at the time was a REALLY short driveway. Leaning into any sort of extended turn (and rolling on the throttle) would result in hitting the rev limiter. On the positive side, the Blast is very much like the 250 in that you don't have to worry about spinning up the rear, which means you can lean into a turn and pretty much grab a hand full of throttle with no ill effects. As long as the entry speed isn't too high (or the rider wigs and stands it up), you have the turn made. GREAT traits for a beginner bike.

It was the first bike that I scraped pegs all the way through a turn.

However, it was the first bike that I scraped pegs all the way through a turn. No doubt they are fun bikes, but unfortunately they are limited for more experienced riders.

====In conclusion====

Of course, these are opinions from a Ninja 250 board. You will most certainly find different ones on a Buell board. One of our members recommends [http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/20164/20164.html?1188589787 Bad Weather Bikers] as the best Blast forum around. "Super good people, too."
