So....to get this back on the 4 stroke path.

A JAP speedway bike.  500cc, alcohol, single speed, no brakes....try to hang on!

I had a TM400 Suz back in the day of the 501 Maico, and they were FAST, IF you had the traction! Down here in the Fl. sand I could stay with, or pull them while they spun. But a good rider on a 250 could usually beat us both around the track.
Speedway racing IS AWESOME! The same bikes they put 1 1/4" spikes on and race on the ICE! Ice racers use hockey pads on their knees and lean over so far the bars almost touch! Check out some youtube vids on it and you will wonder HOW CRAZY some guys are. They don't race speedway all over, but if you ever get a chance to watch one in person, DO IT! No inside footpeg, the outside peg is fixed and they use it as a kickstand. Oh yea, the riders have been known to push their inside foot against another riders front tire in the corners to make them back off! We're talking LARGE balls here!

I had a black Maico road bike era 1956, it was a good bike with an enclosed chain guard, but mixing oil and gas was a pain..

seeing these two stroke singles reminds me, I once came across a small 'touring' bike (by which I mean a standard with hard bags, but factory) that was 500cc, 2 stroke. (I don't think it was a single though, I'm thinking it was a twin) Never got up the money for it so it got away
Today I can't remember the brand of it for the life of me, and google doesn't help
Wish I knew what the manufacturer was,l I thought it was a German name, but at 15, I might've been wrong about that

My understanding was that Buell stopped the production of Buells, as in, Harley pressured him to make the Blast, a low budget motorcycle he hated, and upon expiration of his contract, he told Harley to go pee up a rope, and went back to being an independent builder
there's even a youtube vid of him putting supposedly the last Blast ever built brand new, through a crusher

Eric did the Blast Crush video to get ready for the import of the "Made In India" Street that sells even less than the Blast.

PR to denounce the Blast was as unsuccessful as the attempt to sell a "Made In India" motorcycle to Harley riders.

American Eagle has one of the 750 Street Bikes marked down $5000.00 and even converted it to look like a Cafe Racer and can't give it away.

My Blast is a 2009 and runs fine and I haven't had to do anything with a cam chain adjuster, head plug leak or anything else.

There are still Blasts being raced on the track and at Bonneville, but they never have to compete with a Savage/ S40.
