The 2004 MY Buell Blast is an agile naked that was created by the American brand for both novice and more experienced ones that prefer agility over raw strength.

In addition, it has standard fittings such as a large, 320mm front disc brake in the front coupled to a 220mm disc in the rear, a Showa suspension package composed of a 37mm telescopic fork in the front and a gas-charged rear mono-shock, cast-aluminium wheels, an one-piece, dual seat, a small, matte wind deflector, an analogue and digital instrument cluster, mid-mounted foot controls, and an engine mud-guard.
