I got a sweet deal on it, original owner, only had 3000 miles on it and I swooped it up for 4 grand. It is cosmetically perfect, I love this bike, it takes nuts to take it off the backroads and onto the freeway, because it is small, light and nimble as hell. The absence of a Front fairing and windshield make it a nice adrenaline pumping ride. It won't pace, with a Ninja, but it is torquey, lous and definitely cool.

The head, the plain bearings, dual plugs, etc. I don't know how much of that Rotax will be able to use on competitor's motors. I'm sure it's a sticky issue that they worked out before hand. Regardless It would behoove Buell to expand their lineup a little. -todd The F (and G) Rotax engines had some BMW input.

Both Aprilia and BMW used the same Rotax engine in the Scarabeo 150 and C1, respectively. I could be way wrong. I never thought that BMW owned that 650 engine or had any real exclusivity on it.

I've searched online to see if I can find any more info on the upcoming Blast, but I come up with nothing. Your guess is as good as mine at this point.
