Erik Buell is a cool dude. His Pegasus emblem is unique and cool. Art coulda been better.

He might as well have put a fucking unicorn with a naked Obama riding it with how ghey that logo is.

The original Art was bad as well. The winged pony would be alot cooler if the art were better. The horse needs to look alot more like the mustang emblem and the wing could be sharpened up for this latest version, but compared to roundels, tuning forks, big green Ks and gothic Ss I think it'll do!

I like the new logo. I liked the old logo. I like the old one better. Do you guys know why Buell uses a pegasus?




A: It's in the Buell family crest.

My family crest is an armored and gauntleted arm holding a torch with 3 balls in a triangle. Not so intimidating or inspirational.

Wow, I'd be pretty pissed if I had bought a blast.
Hey America, remember how we sold you thousands of motorcycles called Blasts? Remember that? Funny story, it turns out that they were shitty, gutless bikes for wimps and little girls. LOL
Seriously though, that sucks you paid thousands of dollars for them, you should just throw them away because they're girlie and crappy and you should buy a NEW BLAST when we release it.
Isn't that clever how we turned the shortcomings of a low quality product we sold you into a hip, edgy marketing campaign for a new bike we want to sell you?

Actually the new Buell marketing campaign is really avante guard. Check their ads in RRW, Sportrider, and Motorcyclist. Pretty aggressive and ballsy, wouldnt have been the same with a blast in the fold!!

I wouldn't expect to see the Blast re-introduced.

Why? they were boring crappy little beginner bikes. What ad campaign has ever not said the new version of a product is better than the old? This one is just more direct.
