Yes it is. Especially since they used the Buell BLast in my MSF course.

When I finished the course and got my endorsement there was no learning curve in getting on my own Blast. I added a windshield and a custom seat and some saddlebags. It hauled my big but up to 87 MPH one day and had a little more to give. It gets about 70 miles per gallon.

I rode it all over for 2 and a half months until my wife decided I was having too much fun, so she took the MSF course and then she took the Blast.

This will be her third riding season on that Blast.

It is a low maintenance bike that allows you to learn how to ride because it is so easy to operate.


This is how it looked with 168 miles on it:

And this is what it looks like now:

I added a tachometer, too:
