Are they still making the Blast for the Riders Edge course >!? just saw that the Motha Ship is pushing a riders 'bootcamp' and the Blast is the ride in the 'new' videos. Does H-D 'own' the powerplant and Blast licensing now that Buell E troy is down ? |

2010 was the last I heard of, unless India is going to start cranking them out - maybe, like the Enfield they have been doing so successfully - lately. The Blast would certainly be an upgrade over that, and Enfield has a current market, then ship so many back to the USA for Riders Edge courses, the aftermarket market would get even deeper, fi, etc, if not as stock - That is the persistent HD has floating, with a style change down the road similar to a flat track bike - such plastic can already be found on ebay - lol EZ |

The Blast since 2009 has been a HD product that they procured from Buell. EZ |

a dirty Blast ala Mt-500 or Mx-250 would be killer; in a UJM format - that bike could become a 'Lego' to create any style you wanted A buy in from Red Feather or Armstrong - and call it done (H-D didn't invent the Softail frame - but look what they have done with it, and how they have branded it as their own) even stepping further back with the AMF cross pollination with Aeramachi That Blast motor - new 'universal' frame - hello P&A pirate catalogue party |

India can laugh and make their own copies - probably since the red feather frame was prone to cracking when dropped, their design would hopefully be better. EZ |
